My mates dad had a 500 four Honda, great bikes, Honda quality 💪👍🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

[@063317Art]

I had that year and model with the original 4 exhaust. It started at the touch of the button or a simple kick. Mine was all original. I sold it when I bought a GW could afford 2 motorcycles or a place store 2 motorcycles ❤

[@ianmangham4570]

Electric and kick-start, doesn't get any better than Honda quality.

[@daveco1270]

Great bikes. When you guys micro drill the pilot jets are basically going up one size, like from 38 to 40 or 40 - 42?

[@kaplancycles7665]

Something like that similar principle
