Last Thursday the weather was finally good enough to take her out for a first ride. There is still some ice and lots of salt and sand, so I couldn't go crazy, but after 3 rides and about 200 miles. I really like this bike, very fun. It has been around 20 years since I sold my last cafe bike (CB550K).
The bike turns in and handles nicely. I'm Surprised at how snappy the motor is. EFI is great.
So far I have a growing list of mods I want to make and a pile of sketches.
I made a gas cap and a oil filler cap already. A new instrument plate to relocate the key will be next.
