Had a Kwak LTD 454 I think it was called... had a "king and queen"seat.
Also a Suzuki 500 (also not sure) back in the 70's and raked the front end 7" inches or so. Talk about death traps although much less traffic back then so you could take a wide enuff turn with it.![]()

You guys may all know about this site but it has been a great source for info on Cafe Racers: CAFERACER.NET Good bunch of guys with a great tolerance for numb nuts like me that ask the simple questions AND the hard ones.
I have a Honda 1975 CB400F I like very, very much. It will be the last bike I sell. It's a ton of fun to ride and very pretty. It always gets comments. You can park it next to a Ducati and a $35000 Harley and people will comment on it.
It's not for everyone but it's been a great companion for me.
I did a pretty full resto on it. I've had the engine out of the frame and the forks off of it and chased many a gremlin in the wiring. I've got time in it. The simplicty of them is nice. You can actually sit down and do something to it, it's not insurmountable.
