Later came Japanese bikes such as the Honda CB750, which responded well to the caf treatment. Stock bikes were no good for this sort of thing, plus new ones were too expensive for teenagers and 20-somethings, so Rockers built their own, often from scrapyard beaters. First to go are the standard handlebars, which are replaced by clip-ons, a racing-type tank and seat are next, then come modifications to the exhaust system, plus new paint and other minor decorating. The early cafe riders were looking for a racer image, so rarely hung superfluous goodies all over the bike. Top off the aluminum gas tank, monster front brake, alloy rims and premium rubber and you have the ultimate caf-racer, an appealing mix of speed and style and, in effect, the worlds first sportbike.This is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to acquire one of the best examples of a professionally built caf racer and a genuine autographed piece of music memorabilia from one the greatest bass players of modern times! GET OUT AND DRIVE...er RIDE!Other vehicles associated with Green Day that we have available include a 1974 Honda CB400 Super Sport motorcycle and a 1949 Ford Club Coupe owned by lead singer Billie J Armstrong.Current mileage on the odometer shows 29,194 miles, sold as is with a mileage exempt California title.VIN: CB7502571089Note: Please see full terms and conditions listed below that pertain to the purchase of any said vehicle, thank you.

About Honda
Today, we embark on a journey through the annals of automotive history, specifically the tale of Honda cars up to the end of the 1980s. It's a story of a company with an unwavering commitment to engineering excellence and an unassuming dedication to making motoring better.Our journey begins with the Honda N360, a petite kei car that captured the essence of post-war Japan. It was tiny, simple, and perfect for navigating crowded city streets. Honda's first foray into the car world was unassuming, but it showed their dedication to practical, efficient transportation.
Next, we meet the Honda Civic, a car that needs no introduction. It arrived on the scene in the early '70s and set the tone for the decades to come. The Civic was compact, reliable, and efficient, a car that quietly won the hearts of drivers around the world.
Moving on to the Honda Accord, a model that embraced the virtues of practicality and reliability. It was a family car that you could count on. It didn't make a fuss; it simply got the job done.
Now, let's talk about the Honda CVCC, a car that addressed the environmental concerns of the 1970s. It introduced the CVCC engine, a groundbreaking technology that reduced emissions and paved the way for cleaner, more fuel-efficient engines.
The '80s ushered in the Honda Prelude, a sporty coupe that embodied the spirit of the era. It was a car that dared to be a bit different, a bit more stylish. The Prelude was a glimpse into Honda's ability to blend practicality with a touch of sportiness.
And of course, there's the Honda CRX, a compact and agile hatchback that enthusiasts loved. It was a car that put the 'fun' in 'functional.' With its lightweight design and peppy engines, it was a hoot to drive.
Lastly, we arrive at the Honda NSX, a supercar that changed the game. It was Honda's way of saying, 'We can do extraordinary too.' The NSX was a marvel of engineering, a mid-engine masterpiece that challenged the likes of Ferrari.
So, there you have it, the story of Honda up to the end of the 1980s. It's a story of cars that didn't shout or boast but quietly went about their business, providing efficient, reliable, and well-engineered solutions for everyday life.
And as we contemplate these humble yet innovative vehicles, we're reminded that sometimes, it's the understated, well-crafted things that leave the most lasting impressions. Quite splendid, really.
