    from what ive seen the cx500 is supposed to be a pretty simple and reliable bike , which works great for doing it up as a café racer imo. Taste is a completely individual thing i suppose but, i think the cx500 looks great as a café racer, opinions are like ar*s holes i guess, but there's my 2 cents worth anyway :cool:

    I know a guy with one in his garage for...........20 ?....years. I've tried to buy it several times (for other people - no interest myself), but to no avail.

    Worse: he has an RD400 parked beside it for just as long...........:rolleyes:

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
