South West Vehicle Auctions- Classic Honda Motorbikes
 

These look exceptional

All part of a one man collection where sadly the owner has died.

As well as some exceptional early ones - there is a South African CBR1000 :drool4:

Auction is on 26th April at 10:45

That CB72 is gorgeous :bowdown:

It really is isn’t it.

And all those TLS brakes has made me come over all unnecessary.....

I had to stop looking, was going all wobbly!!

It will be interesting to see what the 1966 CB450K0 Black Bomber goes for.

I had a 1967 one and the actual bike, that I owned, is currently for sale on eBay for £12,995.

I sold it for about £180 in 1977. :duh:

Take it you mean the CBX1000, I don't like the styling, presumably for the SA market with the high bars and naff decals on the side panels.

Liked the CBX, sounded like a jet turbine but never wanted to own one, balancing the six carbs was a major undertaking.

Yes, lots of work on those engines, but six open pipes does sound spectacular

quite similar in parts to a British bike, front and rear mudguards and the front brake

Yes, the front and rear mudguards were painted silver, matching the side panels. The front brake was a twin leading shoe. :drool4: :D

The engine was technically advanced for its day.
It had double overhead camshafts, twin carbs and used torsion bars instead of valve springs. It was red-lined at 9,500 rpm.
Even had electric start. ;) :}
