Laziness is seen in all forms of life. Whether it be eight road crew guys staring at one pot hole or the postal workers who are slower than molasses or even my dog who would rather sleep than do anything else. The fellas over at Dime City Cycles are the antithesis of lazy. With their constantly updating store and ever evolving roster of bikes they continue to help define the notion of a modern day cafe racer.

"Unless you were some poor sob trying hard to get off the grid, you’ve probably heard all about it by now. Upstart moto heads, (that’d be us) Iron & Air Magazine, on some hair-brained, PBR induced trance, decided to convince the kings of all things speed and cafe racers, Dime City Cycles, to rebuild a Honda CB750 and then, get this – GIVE IT AWAY. And that’s just what is happening today, at the 8th Annual Barber Vintage Festival in Ace Corner as the keys are transferred to her new lucky owner.The write up below is from Iron & Air, which is one of the newer motorcycle magazines to explode out of the gates.

| The Dime City Cycles 1978 Honda CB 750 Cafe Racer that will be given away |
The donor was a rusty old POS that Jason and Herm found, haggled for, and then hauled back to their shop to begin the ceremonial breakdown. Wasting no time, these guys demonstrated that they are raging beasts when it comes to reducing a classic ride down to a bucket of bolts. They also demonstrated that they’re bad ass builders of the highest order by bringing this girl back to life and have her looking hotter than ever.

The Dime City Cycles ‘78 Honda CB-750K Cafe Racer glows with class. From its show stopping Legendary Motorcycles bodywork, the stainless steel Cone Engineering muffler with 4-into-1 exhaust, to the Progressive Suspension, the DCC 750K Cafe is the styling leader. With its powerful engine and sharp handling, you’re guaranteed to grab all the looks from the opposite sex at the local pub.
Its throaty engine sound has no equal. Power comes from four cylinders displacing 736cc’s with a Dyna ignition keeping things in pace. The eight valves are operated by a simple, single overhead cam. Fuel is metered through four synchronized Keihin carburetors, equipped with an accelerator pump for throttle response that even “Mike The Bike” would be proud of.
With five well-spaced gear ratios to select from, the 750k can split lanes through downtown traffic or stretch its legs on those long country rodes we all love. And when you encounter that one obnoxious squid on a GSX-R 600, you can merely slide back a tad in the saddle, down-shift a gear or two and leave him in the dust – completely taken aback by the fact that an old heavy lump of metal just ate his modern power range cycle for breakfast.
