PUREBREED MCS CB360

1. WHO ARE YOU?

I’m from the Eastern Townships in Quebec, Canada
I founded Purebreed Fine Motorcycles two years ago – this is my (mega) full time occupation.
I got inspired by late 1970’s Porsche 911s, from which the color scheme is taken. I’ve always found that dark metallic brown with black accent was so “macho”, so austere!
I’m Guillaume Brochu
I own the shop with my wife, and we do have very helpful people coming to help us every now and then such as Eric Lajeunesse, the photographer who took those beautiful shots..

‘ll forward you the emails from my photographer with all the hi-res pictures from the CB360 build.

Here’s the story about it:

My dear and lovely girlfriend Maude, who had never ridden a bike before, loved me enough not only to take her motorcycle driving course, but to also support me and join me in my craziness of owning and running a Cafe Racer build shop. She then kinda deserved the neatest, sleekest and fastest little bike I could build!

It started with a pristine – sorry purists  – 1975 CB360 that she intended to ride as is for the last season before building it, but sadly the engine’s head got starved of oil before that and that was it with the stock bike.. so here we went!

I wanted a super light and nimble bike, but with grunt enough to not be let behind when her riding skills improve – especially given the other Purebreed’s bike she’ll be riding with 

Here’s the lowdown on the build:
