    Oh! No way! I bought a bunch of bikes from Norths Service back in the day (crica early 80's). A true old school family dealership. Bought my first new bike there. They helped me through my first wreck and dealing with the insurance company. Thanks for the blast from the past.

      @@motorcyclerewind I bought it in 2005 for $750 and it only had less than 3000 miles so I thought it was a steal. Just runs so smoothly and it will cruise easily at 60 tp 65 mph which is plenty fast for me. I like riding the country black top roads that don't have alot of traffic and the riding season here in Florida is pretty long unlike Pennsylvania where I'm from but been in FL since 1986 and love it here. I can take the heat better than the cold. I also have a 80 MGB that is close to being done. I am retiring at years end and plan on finishing it to enjoy also. I mentioned this because I spotted one in your garage. Enjoy your videos. What is the best way to clean up aluminum on my Honda?

    Great looking little bike and it looks in good condition. Such a shame the previous owner butchered the exhausts like that though.

      Harbor freight has the welder with the plastic and mesh. Or you can get them both from Amazon!

    Please help me! I recently acquired a 78 cb400a and It needs some work before I can get it on the road. Im new to bikes and my friend gave this to me as a project he didnt have time for. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    I thinking about buying one of these for a project. What do you think is a good price for one of these that ran about a year ago?

    • @motorcyclerewind
      @motorcyclerewind  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I bought Keri’s 2 years ago and paid 1,200 bucks. It was in Tampa and had it shipped up. So all in about 1,700. Then put tires and bought some better condition side covers.
      The only thing to make sure you check is ignition. It’s ok if it doesn’t run because of carbs. But the Hondamatic’s have some model only pieces and parts. The ignition system is one and they can be pricey.
      Prices are all over the place. Send me pics and details via motorcyckerewind@gmail.com or on Instagram.
