My very first bike was a CD175 and I loved it. Mind you, fickle youth that I was back then, by the time I p/xed it for a YDS7  both silencers had holes in and were patched up with tin cans and chicken wire and the bike was fitted with front and back crash bars and a huge top box! The latter largely as a sop to my dear old mum who had it in her head that a bike with a top box was safer than one with out! For me, it was the nearest I could get to making it look and sound like the bikes in the 70's american film about US cops on Harley Davidsons, the name of which escapes me. Oh callow youth!

Oh, I forgot, and a big handlebar screen, it's amazing the thing moved at all with all that on it.

Mate made a caff racer out of his and we used to leave the big bikes at home (he had a Laverda 750 and I had a Suzuki 550 at the time) and race each other, him on the cafe'd CD me on my Z200 :) Huge laughs round town! Later he sold me a cd which I turned into a little caff racer because I couldn't abide the look of it standard lol.
We really ought to have a meet in a year or two where everyone tries to bring a modded small bike (less than 200cc and must be a four stroke!)
Could be a really good laugh!
