Bryan,
              I would love to do a Brit one but they just want too much for a doner bike, even junk ones are ridiculous :o

my personal choice is the Brit style,


but I still enjoy all bikes !!

hairygit:
Nah! The best looking cafe racers ever made were factory jobs, CB750F1, CB550F1/2 and CB400F1/F2, great looking bikes, sensible riding positions, and those amazing exhaust styles! >:)

JamesH:
Ha ha nice one Hairy.

Liam:
I love the idea of moving the electrics, battery etc. under the seat to open the frame up…  But I hear the gel batteries are prone to fail and even set on fire.  I'll may be have a go at moving the ignition switch to under the tank, one step at a time!

"Knott" does some nice bike with loads of bespoke gear - bit ott but I like them.

I'm caffing a CB750 at the moment, but I think the 350's and 400's look cracking as well, in fact the whole CB family look great!

Best of luck
