I don't, but my friend still has it. It hasn't moved from that room since I gave it to him 15 years ago.

Would it be for sale? I can't find a CB four for a good price anywhere

I can ask. It's in Connecticut.

Just to keep you focused

I love Café bikes, but don't do the MSF Course on it. If you've never ridden, take the Basic Course and use their motorcycles, it hurts much less when the hit the parking lot.

I took the Advanced Course (required by work); imagine leaning over the tank standing on the pegs and trying to do a figure eight in one parking space. They just don't turn that sharply.

Good Luck.

I already took the course, I'm just looking to get into cafe's in the future

I'm wondering how berkeleyed up the ergos would be if you built a traditional cafe, rearsets and all but instead of clip ons or clubmans you put a set of superbike pars on?

I would love to do a cafe bike but after riding a couple sport bikes I realized very quickly that those ergos are not for me.

These things are hard to beat for a daily beater bike.

What do you think about the "Tracker" style? They have bars more in the standard position.

I have a weakness for cafe' Goldwings. Low CG, torque and enough weight to make long trips plausible.

That was a really awesome bike. Good power and torque in the midrange comfortable. My favorite of the nighthawks.
