I wonder if the seller is on one of these forums. It is a very nice looking build.

The yellow one will probably be pretty hard to start, excite the alternator to run the electronic ignition and keep the lights lit at stop lights without the battery.  And I'll bet the radiator under the seat is pretty comfortable also.  (darn technical people, always raining on stylists parade)
Yep, still riding the old one

When I was selling my C10 , my neighbor from across the street came over wanting to buy it ,  with the idea of turning it into a cafe racer . I talked him out of it.
Now I am SO glad i did.

Sorry I can't put shaft drive and cafe in the same mental image....
Well there is a local 1000 wing that's nicely done but not quite cafe either if you know what I mean.....
