I had one of these in the eighties. The "locking" cam-follower adjusters on the sides of the heads was a nifty idea but fuuuuu¢¢¢¢££££ me that thing was always slipping out of tune. Good looking bike but bit of a lemon in my experience.
Horrible stroked variant of the much superior CB450 Black bomber, Honda made a real mess of a perfectly good engine by adding that 50cc, a true abortion of a motorcycle.
@@carlmunoz1083 No, horrible high maintenance machine at that age now, useless brakes and limited tyre choice make it unsuitable for a beginner on modern roads. You would be better of buying a more modern 125/250cc machine.
My first "big" bike, same color. I think it was a 1975. Wish I had it now...
I had one. Bought it used in 1979. It had a serial number 000000008 and was used in the Motorcycle Magazine review.
