Not for a few weeks yet, I can't manage the weight at the moment, but getting there, I'll get my brother to take it for tyres and an MOT before then though, so it will be rolling soon.

That's probably the best nick CB I've ever seen

Up here they're all blocks of rust and dents held together with oil leaks.

Oh the tank has it's fair share of dents, but being black kind of hides them, but the rest of it's not bad, it'll do until next summer anyway, will luck it'll see me at AE07, if the fitness thing allows.

Cheers Mark.

Ah... a real bike and in the best colour... looks very good - partciulally the header pipes which are a a b*gger on the CB... the weight does disappear on the move but it's bit of a lump to amouvre at low speeds... Let us know if you manage to smarten up the front forks as I'd like to find something to work on mine with.

And, Northwind, there are lots of good condition Hondas up here in God's own country. Saw a CX500 today which while tatty was obviously still going strong. Not sure you'd even need to sweep up the same age Suzukis - just leave the bits for the mice?

Hondas in general, aye, but CBs just get abused to death it seems.
