That price is a little on the high side.

The Hugh Anderson Manx (number 10M77295) is the most successfully campaigned Manx known to exist within NZ. It sold for only $42k NZD plus buyers premium at an auction in July 2008.

Ive been humming and haring about a style to mod my bike until the natural instincts took over and now with my "jappa" back ground has taken this boring ls650 to a whole new style "cafe racer" slash chop. Still in progress though

Yes, cafe racers are cool! Not so much to ride or clean, but to look at!
Here's one I made earlier! Sorry to bore those of you what seen it before!

I never saw a CB400/4 with a drum front brake . What year was it ???
I used a 400/4 to base a cafe bike on and it served me well both on the road and the track for many years. Mine was a young one though , a 1976 model.
