A fun project...

Saw this along side the road on the way home. A build similar to this would be a fun project.

Not sure, nobody was around at the time I stopped by. I'll see what I can find out tomorrow...

That looks like a Yamaha 500. I'd like to get ahold of one. They make great old school cafe racers.

The old Yamaha XS650's and early Honda CB450's make nice bobbers . Both vertical twins like the old British bikes only more oil tight and reliable . Was thinking of building one myself for some time , but now I have that old 1965 FLH project to do first . So many bikes , so little time

As stated it's a kikker, the 250 twin should be a cool little bike for that market. The other ones seem to get decent reviews.

Here's the preview of the 250
