    New here. Could not resist when a 400km:s driven yellow Street Cup came for sale here in Gothenburg. Ramberget.jpg
    I was not in a need for another bike (have a beautiful -71 CB450K4 also) but have been admiring the looks of the Cup it was released.
    Been riding it now for 2 weeks and some 1000km:s and mostly positive. Will test it though with Street Twin handlebar, i am no youngster anymore so the ace bar is not optimal for my arms and back on longer stretches. Lots of good info i already found on the forum.

    Thanks for the welcome. As i am known to not be able to keep my vehicles in factory shape some modifications will happen. So far i do not feel a need for more HP or torque and i bought the bike for it's looks so nothing major but will start with some "bling".

    So the bar is changed to a Street Twin one. Just a short ride so far but i like it. I am 183cm and 75kg as a reference. I fell the bike is easier to handle in twisties, also the upper edge of pinlock is not in direct view as it was previously.

    Yellow is the GO, mate. Nice choice. Almost bought one myself.
