I want to start riding but I dont want to get on a sport bike off the bat. Ive been looking at Honda GB500/ CB750, Yamaha SRX-6, Nortons, and Triumphs. One of my cryteria is that it needs to look halfway decent. I bike, just like a car, is an extension of someones personality. I dont want to ride a bike that looks like its out of the 70’s unless its a bobber, which I cant afford. Ive been looking into the whole cafe racer idea as well as naked bikes. With the Hondas, a lot of people have turned them into nice looking cafe racers: Hondas ![http://www.caferace.com/gb500rt1.jpg](http://www.caferace.com/gb500rt1.jpg) CB750 ![http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ealfabike/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/cafehonda.jpeg](http://home.earthlink.net/%7Ealfabike/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/cafehonda.jpeg) Yamaha SRX-6 ![http://www.caferace.com/srx2cafe.jpg](http://www.caferace.com/srx2cafe.jpg) (I love this bike but cant seem to find any kind of prices or anything about it other than its a limited run 1 year only bike. This is exactly what i want) Norton ![http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com/data/pics/DSC_0025.jpg](http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com/data/pics/DSC_0025.jpg) (Cant afford the new one but wondering if an old one can be converted to look like this) ---

[quote=“Violator,post:3,topic:25538"”] [/quote] Not available in the US, conversion of a domestic fizzer to a fazzer is pretty prohibitive. ---

2 very bad pictures of my 2006 honda 599. Its for sale if your interested in northern VA. Very nice bike to ride, comfy and yet sporty enough.
