So after selling off a custom harley to make room for the 1299, I'm throwing around the idea of building a cafe racer/brat bike. I wanted a bike like this prior to getting the 1299, but pops talked me out of it. He'd say things like, "I wouldn't be caught dead on anything that f*ck*ng ugly." Also, stuff to the likes of, "it's just a fad."
After realizing the 1299 is likely only spending time on the track, not the street, and the fact that I'm ocd regarding bikes...I am debating building or buying a built one.
For those of you that know anything about these style bikes, what are your thoughts? I.E. do not spend over a certain amt, go CB750 or BMW R60/R, but one already built, etc.
It's a different style that won't tempt me on the street and that I also won't care about too much...so it does have a place in the garage in one sense or another. ..
Thanks in advance!
