Today I caught the tail end of the Sydney Cafe Racers Run.





































Then I rode this and had so much fun. It was only for a few klms. I had forgotten how much fun a 500 single could be. My laugh was heard over the loud exhaust as I ripped along the private road.. Thank you Matt Miles for trusting your Royal Enfield to me.

cool bikes! didn't know Honda made a transverse mounted V-twin. A V-Twin mounted properly, thought Moto Guzzi was the only one. Thanks for posting, cool bikes. Nice pictures.

the CX500, quite possibly the worst handling bike I have ever owned. They might look good 'cafed' but you would not want to try to throw one into a tight left turn. the clockwise torque along the axis of the bike is very noticeable. not one of Hondas better designs
