1978 Honda CB550

I sure do buy a lot of old Honda SOHC 4’s! These 550’s are solid little bikes. Small enough to zip around town on, and heavy enough to do some touring down the highway. Why people don’t look to buy bikes of this size today I have no idea, they are far more practical than… Continue reading 1978 Honda CB550

1975 Honda CB750F

A first year F model CB750. The F bikes had a number of differences from the standard K model. All the body work was redone and made to look sportier. The tank is longer and sleeker, the seat has a lower profile, and there is a rear cowl section. The exhaust was a 4 into… Continue reading 1975 Honda CB750F

1974 Honda CB350F

These 350cc inline 4 cylinder bikes were produced from only 1972-1974. They are quickly becoming a very popular and in demand collectible due to their short production run, and the difficulty of finding an unabused example. However, I have found an excellent example and trailered it home. This bike is in near emmaculate condition without… Continue reading 1974 Honda CB350F

Automatic Motorcycles: A Little Info

I was reading through the classifieds for motorcycyles today, as I frequently do. I came upon someone selling a 1977 Honda CB750A(utomatic). In the listing they claimed it was the only automatic motorcycle ever built. I couldn’t resist giving them some additional information. Just a little information. The CB750A was in fact the first automatic… Continue reading Automatic Motorcycles: A Little Info

The Next Day

Within 24 hours I had the bike repainted, shined up, and running. Certainly not a perfect bike or a quality restoration job, but it is a fun little bike that makes LOTS of noise due to the mufflers being hollowed out.

1974 Honda CB360

I picked up this bike for an incredible deal (in non-running condition of course!). I have always liked the small bore honda twins. The cb350 is one of the greatest bikes of all time. The 360 is actually quite a different motor. Why they made all the changes I’m not entirely sure.

1981 Kawasaki CSR 650

These bikes are more or less Japanese trash. There is really nothing wrong with them from a usability standpoint, they are comfy and go down the street just fine – But they are very unrefined, filled with poorly made and poorly designed parts, and are not a bike you should plan on keeping any length… Continue reading 1981 Kawasaki CSR 650

1975 Honda CB750K

I’ve owned several cb750’s over the years and they are always great bikes. This one was no exception. It sat for years behind a house a few towns over. I dragged it up onto the trailer. Within a couple days I had it purring nice and smooth and cleaned up pretty well. The grim on… Continue reading 1975 Honda CB750K
