I'll show you a project bike in the stable. '75 CB500T. Runs great. For me...very retro. It's something I wanted for a while and couldn't resist when I found it. Sorry fella's....

IDK really. Open canvas. Stock is cool. Cafe is trendy. Fast would be a rush.....haven't figured it out.

Very nice. I was looking at CB's for my first bike...I'd still like to pick up a 750 some day.

I think the 500 and the 750 are different animals to me. The 500 is slow, stock, easy, can't get in trouble kind of mass produced bike. Funny really, it's a blast to ride for a short get around.

dont really know I'd change much on the CB500, just get her cleaned up real nice..
Prob worth some $$$$..

I had a "305" Super Hawk I bought new in 66 and then later had two CB 750's... fun bikes at the time.

congrats on the LO

Very nice bike. The Hondas, Kawasakis, and Suzukis from the early to mid-70s are cult classics. Check out Classic Motorcycles magazine...you'll love it.

I was at my Indy the other day and noticed a bunch of Jap bikes in there. Looks like the Cafe Racer scene is growing ...

Catch the show on HD Channel, it rocks.
