Below is the "Mugen", a Vincentesque motorcycle designed in Japan:

The Mugen was built by Honda!

The Hodaka was another Japanese Motorcycle:

All Hodaka's were 2 strokes and smaller capacity bikes.  There were a few 250's, but that was the largest made.  First imported in 1964 and sales ending in 1978, Hodaka was never a high volume seller.  In the end, Hodaka was unable to compete with the larger manufacturers.

Below is the Honda 305 Scrambler I bought back in 1967.

Japanese motorcycles make great foundations for Cafe Racers:

Below was the one and only NKCMA motorcycle show and event.  It was called "Bikes, Bands, and BBQ."  Hundreds of people and over one hundred bikes.  This event dates back to 2005.

I sure miss that bike!

SUZUKI SAVAGE CAFE RACER:

Below is John's CB750 Cafe Recer.  What a beauty!  For another view go to: www.markbayersvintagehonda.9f.com  then click on the last page titled the "cafe racer" page.  The other view is about five pictures down on that page. For some great Cafe Racer and Bobber pictures, go to  www.vcme.9f.com  and click on the Cafe/Bobber page (the last page) and see some great customs.

Below is a picture of me on my first bike, a 1962 Honda Cub.  I think the picture is from 1965.  I had several friends who also had Honda 50's and another guy who had a 90cc CA200, we thought of his bike as a superbike!  Shortly thereafter I purchased a CB160, then a 305 Scrambler, then a CL450 and on and on!
