in the nation, if not the world, Steve "Carpy" Carpenter, a legend
in the caf� motorcycle community! Bikes built by Carpy cost close
to $30,000 and there is a two-year waiting list. This motorcycle
was commissioned by his long-time friend, Mike Dirnt, bass player
for the band Green Day! This Honda cafe-racer comes with a Letter
of Authenticity signed by Michael Manning, Green Day's
Production/Fleet Manager. If that wasn't enough, also included is a
bass guitar signed by Mike Dirnt himself! This Carpy creation is
equipped with a 915cc big cam, knife-edge crankshaft Honda
four-stroke, four-cylinder engine fed by four Keihin carburetors
and finished in a handsome satin black "murdered" dot finish
throughout. It has a menacing look and sits just right. There is a
slight paint pucker around the gas tank filler cap. Power is
transferred to the rear wheel by a five-speed manual transmission
with under-cut gears. Driver assist features include many custom
pieces such as the Carpy front disc and rear drum brake. This 750
rides on a custom Carpy telescoping adjustable forks in the front
and a Carpy custom swing arm with adjustable rear shocks, and much,
much more! The staggered black rims with stainless spokes are
19-inch in the front and 18-inch in the rear with performance Avon
tires, completing the stealth look of this road rocket! Early caf�
racers were a British invention and used combinations of engines
and frames from home-market bikes. 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 world's 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
