New CB750 Cafe Racer by Motohangar


It is not the first time there is a bike from Motohangar here on COFDL, they really make som super original motorcycles. The Honduki is one of the only bikes featured here on COFDL that is not fitted with a CB750 engine [it is that cool!!!], and Jon's CB750 is on my top 10 of best CB750 café Racers. 

So here we go again... A new dark blue beauty! No nonsense, no parts that does not need to be there. Voila!!!

Honda CB750 - Muscle Machine Body







Update: Swedish Made Bodywork


I would like to thank Björn from Sweden for even more information on the Swedish made bodywork, for the Honda CB750.


About 1975 the leading companies of the Cafe Racer scene were gathered around Anderstorp in Småland, also well known for the Anderstorp Raceway. At the time when the companies Stigefelts Motor, Raask and Muscle Machine where creating fast bikes, Team lotus and swedish race driver Ronnie Peterson where racing in formula 1 cars few kilometers from their workshops - just to put things in perspective. 


The Muscle Machine-body was created in 1975 by the two motorcycle enthusiasts Bengt Ek and Roger Johansson. Bengt was a designer and Roger was handy with glass fibre. Muscle Machine produced bodies for a number of different motorbikes from Kawazaki 900, Yamaha XS 500, and the most popular version for the Honda CB750 and CB550. Altogether about 1000 bodies were manufactured by Muscle Machine.

Swedish Made Bodywork



Ok! Sometimes people are so cool. 

I Just got an e-mail saying that the ugly blue CB750 in the post "What were you thinking" is a swedish made glasfibre body made in the 70's. I did not know this...??? Thank you very much for sharing this information, and photos.

Do any of you people know what the company was called?

What were you thinking???


Well it is friday, and we all need cheap laughs right?! Well here you go... Sometimes I am amazed how some people can completely f*ck up a so perfect design as the CB750??? But as it is so clearly show in the pictures, it is not impossible.

Day Three - Classic TT [190 Km]


Back home in the garage, safe and nothing broke! GREAT!!! 




Day two - Second Leg - Classic TT [45 Km]


The last and shortest leg of the trip, turned out to be the longest. Between road 587 and 15, a spark plug stopped working and I was running on 3 then 2 cylinders - and we needed to stop. 4 new sparkplugs later we where on the road again, heading for Risskov in Århus. Now we needed beer, took a taxi to the bars with our local friends!
