1972 Honda CL450 Cafe Racer

Description

Up for auction is a beautiful 1972 CL450 Caf? Racer. I call her Olivia. This stunning gal began as a complete CL450 with low miles. She has been rebuilt from the ground up using high quality parts, ustom fabricated pieces, nd a whole lot of elbow grease. Carbon fiber has been used extensively to save weight, ven the coil mount is carbon fiber. All body parts are one-off custom pieces. The goal was simple; make it as light and nimble as possible. She may not be the youngest girl at the ball, ut she'll definitely turn heads. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
