          if possible get the kawa. with that you can haul longer trips. SR400 are for going to kiosk and back.

          And no, they don't look like that. YOU build it…;-)

          Also check TÜV regulations what you are allowed to do.

            IJ: What do you think of this thing: http://www.finn.no/finn/mc/used/object?finnkode=36207258&reference=2012%2F7%2Fvertical-6%2F25%2F8%2F362%2F072%2F58_207450812.jpg (don't know how much norwegian you can read, but the guy dismantled it, and don't have time to put it together again, price is about 2000 euros)

            Seize the day and don't you cry.

              well, I speak swedish, so I can read norwegian…

              If it's really all there, and only needs to be put together, and you get it around that 2K€, should be fine.

              Also should be aesy to make a caferacer out of that.

              (I really don't know that much about japbikes though, so I cannot tell you what to look for, ie probable problem areas?)

                  Thanks for the feedback! Scouring local ads to find a good deal now 🙂 give me a year and I'll pop by your neighbourhood in a old-new cafe racer 😃

                    i love the look of cafe racers 🙂

                    btw is it actually just the wind shield that makes for a typical cafe racer or is there more to it?…

                        I am, and I mean really, no expert, but as far as my experience in looking at nice ones:

                        minimalist style
                        small seat
                        minimalist rear end
                        custom handlebars
                        little or no plastic covers

                            As I said earlier, I don't know much about japbikes, but if I'd judge by the pics of custom ones it has potential to chopped bobbed or whatever.

                            Mechanically can't say a thing as I don't know it.
