Between Ebay and Craigslist it would seem there are a lot of people trying to sell good old bikes they have made unrideable. Don't get me wrong, I love a well conceived and executed "Cafe." I just don't see many of them: cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suzuki-Other-1975-suzuki-re-5-rotary-wankel-cafe-racer-vintage-rare-custom-mazda-rx-7-rotary-/221277831812?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item33852fc284&vxp=mtr

This one makes me love my modest custom even more....
