I've been looking for a CB XXX (was thinking 350 would be ideal) to restore / turn into a cafe... And this thing is gorgeous, and even runs! I have the 1000rr to go insanely fast on, but I wanted another bike to work on, clean up, and ride for fun.. Maybe get Mrs. Phyre into riding as well.. (actually riding, not sitting on the back)
It needs a ton of work, but its mostly elbow grease and some new gaskets/cables/carb rebuild/etc.. All the parts seem to be there and in decent shape.
The big question is, will the CB 175 have enough power to cruise comfortably at 70 or 80mph? (cruise, not bawls out full tucked wide open throttle 80mph) Anyone ever owned one? I'm digging around various forums but haven't found an answer yet. I'm not going to purchase it if it can't cruise at highway speeds.. that would be kind of pointless.
