      I pretty much rebuilt my old 1975 Honda CB360 Twin in my living room of my old apartment, glad it was
      downstairs and I lived alone… 😉

            Unfortunately I had to sell it to buy furniture when Pam and I moved into our first home  😞

            Why? Bikes are perfectly good pieces of living room furniture.

                    how "easy" is it, to repair/restore a bike on your own btw. …i somehow have the idea, copping myself an old broken bike and turn it into sth. like my own DIY project for a year or more...should be fun!

                    what do you guys think?...

                            thanks for the answer…i´ve only worked with mopeds and scooters so far...but a "real bike" should be way more challenging and fun at the same time...only time can tell though and if i´m going to do such a project, i´ll def. update in here o/course!...

                              Wondered this same thing.  My dad had an old Norton (probably late 60's early 70's) sitting in the garage since I was a kid.  Probably wouldn't take much work, but I couldn't sell my wife on the idea.  Still not sure what to do about it as it is sitting at my sister's house.

                              Out with the new! In with the old!

                                  Haha, probably need to take a look at it first, not sure exactly what condition it is in.  I was having trouble convincing my mom to sell it.

                                    Go for it.  With the amount of information available on the 'net, and the fact that there's just not much to a motorcycle, it's been pretty easy in my experience.

                                        There's plentiful of Kawa W650's in Germany. Pretty affordable and trustworthy machines.

                                        That way you can concentrate on making it look like your own, no need to rebuild the motor first. Good starter bikes…
