What kinda Hondas do you have?

OK, other Hondas besides my CBX'es that I have:
-'72 SL70-original condition bought from my neighbor and original owner several years back.....I and many other kids learned to ride/shift a hand clutch on this very bike back in '72 and later years. It still has original grips, mirror, and engine assembly(with original points, no less!) and has weathered the test of time nicely. (Anyone got any blue SL70 side covers for sale?)
-'03 XR50-My son's starter bike-bone stock and reliable as always as per Honda tradition.
-'04 GL1800 Gold Wing-This is my daily driver and flagship, titanuim color and a set of Torq Master pipes rounds out an already great package from the factory......the pipes give it a distinctive sound not unlike a 911 Porsche. This bike will return 38-42 mpg all day on regular fuel and is my 120 mph sofa! Cool

Wow, Care if I come by some sunday to check out a CBX???

I am in Tempe.

This is my baby. Although she is not in as great of condition as she was in the picture.

A 1980 Honda CB750F.
4 into 1 Kerker exhaust, Keihin CR 29mm carburetors.
Not the stock paint job, but I didn't get it that way. So I have some room to play with the paint.
Going to be a resto-mod. But right now she is my bread getter until I can afford a new set of heads for my project with 4 wheels. Confused

Heres a good bike. I have a 1984 Honda Nighthawk 700S. Hydraulic lifters, Hydraulic Clutch, Dual Disc in front, 16" front wheel. Honda doesn't make them like this anymore.

Nah, I don't ride too crazy in town. I already have enough tickets. I have not even been pulled over on the F. But I like to make it stand out. Why hide such beauty? haha

Hello Mark, I have as you know two CB1100Fs and my 79 CBX with the engine I bought from You.
They are all beauties and I am proud of each one.

We used to call that Honda yellow : ' arrest me officer yellow ' back in the day .

I have , lessee :

1970 CB750 I am just bringing back to life after a 5 year sit .

1976 CB400F (in that same yellow) my elder brother bought new as a commuter with saddle bags , crash bars and scoot boot on a HondaLine rack from Boston Cycles , all the touring crap is long gone , he crashed it the three times he rode it and it sat untill 199? when I finally pried it out of his hands and rode it for a few years before abandoning it in my junkyard , I hope to resurrect it again soon ~ he says he'll never ever ride again even though I offered to pay his MSF training fee..

CT90's 1977 & 1979 both decent , one was a pristine bike I found in a Dempster-Dumpster with only 800 miles on it 20 year ago & gave to my then 15 Y.O. son to ride to High School , the other was built up out of spare parts to satisfy a debt to a buddy of mine , he had me make it run " Just So " (I'm a mechanic) then claimed no one bid on it on E-pay @ $350.00 ?! HUH) so he gave it to me for the labor portion of a brake job I did on his truck . I have ridden it from Pasadena to Death Valley and beyond twice so I am quite happy with it . kinda funky as it's ' not correct ' but I keep working at it , it now has the spare fuel ' canteen ' with keylock an all new decals ansd hose , cap etc. thanx to Beatrice Cycle AKA : The Good Dr. , puveyor of original and aftermarkt Honda CT90 & CT110 parts .

CM91 X , uh , er 4 I think , I love these little OHC 90 C.C. step throughs and The Bike Pimp pimped me on several ' parts bikes ' I cannot bear to break up .

CD90 (" C201 " Domestic mini-Benly) I hope to rebuild the engine on this poor old beach bike , it's rusty junk but too rare to break up , I have current title and everything (! WINKERS !) but the tank badges .

There's prolly a few more back there but I've not looked sine I sold off the 80 mile SL90 and the CL125S' and CB125S last year , I love Honda Tiddlers , slopers or what have you .

There's more (I ride a Ural Solo daily) but you get the idea .

I'm a NOOB here , was invited by the administrator as I like old Honda like the goofy fat guy on the home page riding the black CM91....

Hi All, I'm new here, got a bike shop in AZ, here is a pic of my 80 CB750F

Ratfink · Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2007 7:57 pm Post subject:

Haha. The F takeover is in progress. Laughing

Nice to see you here too Roy.

This place is going to be fun. Looks like there some other Arizona Classic Japanese Bike owners in our area. I wouldn't mind riding with any of them. A classic is a classic, and nice to see on the road. I run into very few. All I seem to see is loud chromed V-twin POS's around me.

Sorry, but as you can tell, I do NOT like the Harley, or the Harley look alike's.

The idea of buying an overpriced bike for an image is ridiculous.

So where are the pictures guys??? Need Pics

I want to see all these old bikes.

I know man. Always with the one up. But you're like three ahead now, so whenever you want to slow down, feel free. Laughing

I will get an 1100, or 1123 in there some day. I will skip all the middles stuff except to keep the 750 running.

Hello everyone!

Here's my Honda, a 1979 CBX Cool

Juha

After looking at all you guys pristine bikes , don't ever expect to see my beaters , even if I do figure out how to work a Didgital camera Embarassed

The Bike Pimp was looking in my back yard a few years ago and saw my red CM91 sort of sticking out of a bush , he said it'd be prefect for the V.J.M.C. old Moto calendar....

Nothing pristine about mine, except for the paint in that photo. Since then there has been brake fluid that spilled out of my master, got backed into by a pickup crushing my tail, and the paint was a rattle bomb job. So it looked great for about a month. Next time I will not do it, unless I can afford to do it right.
And when I do, it's a frame up effort. Frame powdercoated, engine painted etc. I think the black engine would look much better in contrast to a yellow bike.

All bikes start out somewhere. And when you post pictures, we all get to see the progress. So don't be shy about it.
