Man, Y'all out did yourselves , restoring this Vintage Cafe Racer Style, Muscle Bike. Jaw Droppingly Gorgeous. Love her muffled and throaty exhaust note. Always has been my favorite sound, especially when the person lets loose on the throttle. Thinking about giving the RZ 350 back to you for this bike. I really love her looks. She's a headturner and an attention getter! I'm very tempted to do this, although I still truly love my RZ 350. She turns heads wherever she goes. I get asked where I bought it from, all of the time. I let them know about y'all, and your You Tube Channel. . Every single person thanked me, and now they're all addicted to Your Channel, as am I. 😂😂❤
Loved my 750-4 Honda’s. Just putting a Kerker header with individual air cleaners and re-jetted and tuned carbs can completely change how it performs! It automatically adds horsepower. Best choppers I ever had.
I usually don't approve of modded vintage bikes, but Mr. Kaplan has a unique sense of taste. And, if it's in his stable it has to be tasteful. SOHC Honda Fours always sound delightful no matter what the exhaust. I've always loved 500/ 550 Honda engines. Remember when I was a kid, Bob Braverman -Cycle Gide? flogged a '71 500 for 24 hours and the little Four ran like a champ. Good lookin' engine too.
Looks like the tread is going through wrong way on the front? All the water directed to the center of the tyre!? What's the thinking? Love this bike,had one,so good,perfect amount of power for backlane blasting.
Probably reaching, but that bike from 78 just say trump loudly and clearly through exhaust noise. Good year too. 78 best year ever, to be born. But that bike makes 78 more sick.
Cool bike but I don't like the tiny front fender and the no back fender look. It messes with the lines of the motorcycle I'm not sure why that's a thing people are doing. Without the back fender the bike looks incomplete to me.
🪖If you live in the State of Connecticut and you are over the age of 18, motorcycle riders have the freedom to choose whether or not to wear a helmet. After decades of protesting the 1967 universal helmet law, Missouri amended our motorcycle helmet law in 2020. Riders must be age 26 or over and carry at least $50,000 medical insurance to cover potential injuries to receive a license. Unfortunately, statistics are showing 175 deaths in 2023 a 47% increase in motorcycle deaths in the state since enacting the law, the highest ever recorded.🎲🎲🎲
Drove one in Oz in the early 90s. Still love these bikes.

Beautiful bike! Great job!
My first ride in 85 was a cb500. Straight pipes. I rode that bike to hell and back.

4 cyl with a pipe is beautiful music.
Awesome bike
I generally don't like cafè racers, but this is nice..
Beautiful bike
My first Street bike was a cb450 brown and gold

Thanks! We like to think outside the box.
Man, that sounds badass!!
🐝🏁 You guys did a great job on this Honda, very cool looking 😎 👍🏆. Kaplan Cycle 🏆
Man that sounds great!
Many people forget that CB550 with a little work was fast

My 71 CL 350 Cafe has vintage Sun aluminum rims which makes it alot lighter.
Front tire on backwards?
18inch alloy front rim and shorty chrome rear fender would look good
Better Build Bader Ride than CB750 I GOT 3 K & 1 SS my daily s is the 76 CB550k all best of .Thanks

It's a personal preference, we like the look, some people don't.
It's super easy to put the stock fenders back on they bolt right on
Mid displacement air cooled 4 noises are ear candy.
We call this brat style in the UK , do you call it the same ? Nice looking
low miles? sounds good
Ok, $15,000, let me know?
perfectenschlagen
No helmet Ken? Again? WTF man....
