I never was a fan but they look mean naked with a 6 into 1. not a huge fan my self just love the 6 and they are only going up. the dressers look to be the ones rising the most . more or less want it to put on a shelf for a few decades. I have a few old Hondas and a 57bsa in the shed .the only bike I ride is my 16ktm 390 duke . and once in a while I will yank out one of the 62 C100s if going to a car/bike show or something and have ambition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus after opening up the exhaust, jetting the carbs and ditching 100 pounds of useless crap it's a decent performer. Fun hunting for trick parts on eBay, no worries about stone chips, scratches or having to polish any chrome. I'd like to build something similar with old school knobby tires. Maybe start with a Honda CB 750, always wanted one of those. Had the 500 four version. lol i had a 72 500 four, my buddy had a 550 four 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned one, and kick myself for selling it. Best deal on the market for a bike you can take a 5 mile trip around the block or load up the saddlebags and head out cross country. I wanted a Triumph when I was a teenager. Then I realized they're pretty much complete pieces of shit. You can run that BMW for 100k miles without cracking the cases. Try that on a Triumph.

Traded up for the 500 when I was 17. Have had a soft spot for old Honda bikes ever since. Still remember the first time I laid eyes on a CBX. Couldn't believe how wide the motor was.

I know where 1 is with less than 1k on it but guy will not sell cuz it was his dead buddy's and his mom has been storing in the basement for decades . but she is on her way t a home soon and it wont fit in his condo my day may be coming .lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
