Tokyo's MINAMI MOTORCYCLE has turned a 1978 Honda CB750 Four II into a café racer, modifying the subframe and fitting Magura clip-ons and Keihin CR carburetors along the way. The whole build was guided by a single priority: how the bike balances when viewed dead-on from the side.

Touching the subframe itself to get that short-tail shape — this is a serious build. I judge every bike by who's going to wrench on it, and pairing Keihin CR carbs with a reverse-cone muffler tells me they were chasing completeness down to the exhaust note. The owner even specced Toray Ultrasuede for the seat cover — that kind of obsession, you can feel it once you're in the shop, and it's exactly what makes the best customs.

The seat's probably terrible but the looks win anyway.

Is subframe work something you could even do yourself?

Swapping to Keihin CR carbs means the stock ones got binned, I guess.

Messing with CB750 carbs used to be a rabbit hole back in the day.

That obsession with the side profile is insane, I want this.

Personally I'd still take something in the W650 line over this.
