A truly great example of a craftsman, a businessman, and a gentleman. Someday, when I have spare time and spare change again, I'm putting together my own SOHC cafe racer, and I'll be calling Carpy for parts and advice.

I was a Motorcycle Courier in London for 25 years and out of all the bikes I used, the SOHC was just a great machine and all rounder. I do have a Triumph that I love, but I chose the inline four basically for its Dependability. I will be at the 40th anniversary of the 750 HONDA at the vintage Motorcycle show in Ohio in July then hopefully Sturgis.

Checking back on the management of that time, there was a refusal to R&D which led to their demise. Does this sound like GM or Chrysler? Rodent

Also check some of the Euro shops who are doing amazing work with Honda customs, such as the Wrenchmonkees of Copenhagen (http://www.wrenchmonkees.com/). They're taking custom motorcycles into the 21st century with models such as their CB750-based Gorilla Punch bike. Cheers, Chris Great stuff.
