That's gotta be the same one. Sort of metallic green?
Edit - the only thing I don't like about those cafe'd up Hondas is the removal of the front mudguard. Every single one I've seen has the mudguard removed, and yes it looks good, but it's dangerous if you're planning on throwing the thing around corners. That mudguard doesn't just stop mud getting in the engine, it also reinforces the front forks and stops them flexing and bouncing when you're down low and turning a corner at speed.
ReekBlefs-
True that, though frankly if you were thinking of hurling something around corners just buy another bike in the first place. Count me in as one that really doesn't like most of the CB range - I got stuck with plenty of them as a kid out of poverty and they really are shit for the most part. The only one I kind of like is the 400/4, which is a pretty little thing with one of the nicest factory exhausts ever made. The CD200 Benly also gets a mild fondness rating for having the lowest pegs of any bike I've ever owned. (You could legit grind them, two-up in the pissing rain.) And for being quiet, frugal and virtually indestructible.
If you want an old, air cooled 8v four cylinder, buy a Suzuki or a Kawasaki. The GS motors are absolute peaches. As for the twins, aside from the Yam XS650 (which is actually really nice,) most are horrible.
If I fancied a vintage Cafe Racer, I'd start with an RD400 or 350LC. For something to cruise around on and be pretty and reliable, a mildly modded late 70s Triumph.

I always thing it looks a bit odd TBH.
99% have some sort of slope or curvature on the rear even with cut down frames. Not having even a small cut down 'guard on the front wheel throws the aesthetic balance off for me.
Plus that it's obviously really impractical.
Out of curiosity with those cut down rears does shit get thrown up your back or into the engine?

There's a girl on a proper tiny engined cafe racer who I see about Dalston, massive L plate on one side
