Honda CB description

Available now with a fresh tune up is this beautiful 1972 Honda CB450, built in the traditional Cafe Racer style. 

Starting with a 1500 mile 1972 Honda CB450 twin, this bike was rebuilt from the ground up. No bolt was left untouched and every mechanical portion of the bike was refreshed. 

Mechanically this is a mostly stock Honda so parts and repairs are easy.  The motor was refreshed and machined to a .025 overbore and NOS valves were added at the time of the build. 

Partial list of all the goodies added during the build, all top quality aftermarket, custom made and brand new NOS parts used. Sun Aluminum Rims ; carbon steel spokes ; All Balls wheel and steering bearings, Continental GO! tires ; MBW turn signals ; Bikers Choice flush mount fuel cap ; electronic ignition with Dyna ignition Coils ; LED lights all around ; Acewell digital gauge. 

Bike has been professionally tuned and runs great. A show stopper for sure, has won awards at every bike show and always turns heads on the street.


Google search "Joes lucky 13 cafe racer" for a link to the Do The Ton forum build and many articles about the bike written over the years.  Ebay wont allow direct links.

The future. But we can't have it

It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.

Pulling the pin ...

Mon, 15 Nov 2010

WARNING: Not for the squeamish. You're looking at surgeons removing a pin from Ten Kate Honda man Jonathan Rea's wrist. The World Superbike frontrunner underwent surgery after sustaining fractures during a fall in qualifying at Imola, which hampered the Irish racer's end of season performance.
