I’ve never paid much attention to motorcycles, but this thing has been on the back of my mind for the past couple of weeks. Link for those interested:

I get REAL nervous when I see bikes from now-defunct, small italian companies.

If you screw up ANY part of it other then the engine (which was a yamaha mill) you are fucked

That’s exactly what my coworker brought up when I showed it to him. I couldn’t imagine accidentally dropping it or breaking some unobtainable piece.

Not bad, although that tail looks more ‘80s sports bike than cafe racer.

My (currently busted) ‘71 CB175 cafe bike.

Cool bike. Not sure if it’s $4k cool unless you’re a rich collector that understands a motorcycle collection is a labor of love and not an investment. But cool none the less.

If you intend on actually riding it, at that price range you a re far better off getting something more modern and fuel injected. For example, you can get a proven bulletproof SV650S for $2k and then spend the remaining $2k on cosmetic mods - or not.
