trhanks for feedback
kev
was that six year old gasoline sitting in the tank all that time? Was that battery still in the bike from six years ago just sitting occasionally charging it?
I have had dozens and dozens of bikes since 1968. My favorite engine is the Honda CX 500 engine. I had a CX 500 that I put CB 400 F bars on, koni shocks,small windscreen..
My favorite bike to ride at the same time. I had an RZ 350 a guzzi SP1000 and the CX500… very pleasant motor. That motor was actually designed from the start to be turbo charged by Honda. That’s why it does not have removable cylinders…
I suppose you will be changing all the fluids, I mean everything from brake fluid, coolant, final, drive gear, lube, even the tires on all your machines..
Maintenance is expensive. But that which ought to be done.and isn’t, is more expensive.. that’s mostly what my TH-cam channel is about. All those neglected things that need to be looked after…
hi Jf4758
Thanks for taking time to watch and feedback.
Many questions to be answered there, most of them was a yes and the no ones the new owner is aware of, as i have let someone else have some enjoyment from it.
Cx500 yes i'm with you on that a great engine/ bike. i've had mine approx. 10 years now
Now contact made, ive sub'd you and will take a look at what you get up to as time permits me,
Many thanks
Kev
That's a lovely little fleet of bikes you have there Kev. Many thanks for letting us take a look at them. Cheers, Alan.
Many thanks Alan

Sounds just like an early Suzuki SV650 V-twin I had, V-twins are great fun!
cheers ttg
i don't think the zoom mic on camera did any of my bikes justice, better in real life
cheers
Kev
Gday Kev, absolutely beautiful collection of motorbikes, years ago I had a Kawasaki Z750 twin, it was lates 70’s model, fantastic touring bike but sadly sold it to help with the deposit of my first house, kicked myself ever since, I’ve only ever seen 2 others in magazines for sale, the file cap might be just a bit dry and sticky, thanks for sharing your collection mate, makes me want to buy another one, cheers
cheers Matty
yes, hindsight is wonderful, but the house had to come first, you never know another z750 might come your way
cheers
Kev
spot on...
cheers Malcolm
i'm considering selling it !!!! if i can bring myself around to doing it😬🤔

Hello Kev,
The Deauville is a lovely looking bike... Push bike collection next - lol. Have a good weekend.
Cheers.
Paul,,
thanks Paul
yes ive got 4 push bikes to go at, although not so much push bikes as pedal assist them when you want, 3 of them i've electrified already on vid.
take care
Kev
They are great bikes Kev, lovely example. The petrol cap lock might just want a squirt of lubricant, my Yamaha Diversion used to do similar.
Best wishes, Dean.
cheers dean
i will try that

G’day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 I’ve been watching you building the engine I am building a super simplex so interesting watching you and your doing great job. I used to ride myself the last on I had was a RGS 1000 Laverda but poor health put an end to it it is one thing that I really miss anyway look after yourself and I have subscribed and look forward to watching you building it. Regards John
hi John
Sorry to hear health put a stop to biking, thanks for watching, commenting and sub'ing, have a great time building the S Siimplex, it's very satisfying to build something from scratch then seeing it fired up and riding round the track
take care
Kev
Hi KEV

All the Best.

Thanks for another great video Kev. Deauville is a very nice bike and in common with your other 3 a thinking man's machine, reliable, well engineered, made to be riden rather than cleaned and it's not going to kill you.
I've got to wondering what all this motorcycle preparation is about, maybe another Continental road trip?
Whatever it is, have a good time.
Best wishes, Stephen.
hi stephen
no continental trip !!!, just got the urge after a considerble time of rest from biking, due to other interests etc
never time to be bored!!
cheers
Kev
G'day Kev. Nice bike collection, looks like the filler cap may need a quick squirt of WD40. Cheers Peter
yes thats all it needed, thanks for watching
take care
Kev
Sounds good, I wonder what is wrong with the petrol cap.
thanks Ben
just a drop of oil!!!🤣
👍👍👍👍kev
Beauty rare over here.
thanks, the this mark 1 is getting rare too, over here.
👍👍👍
Nice bike Kev, you didn't buy it off a guy in Lincoln by any chance did you? If so, I think I know him lol. He did very similar! Cheers, Jon
well there;s a thing, i reckon it was Newark area, but not a million miles away!!
cheers
Kev
Hi kev
Just bought a 2002 model , collect tomorrow, never had a shaft drive so looking forward to trying it out, your video has encouraged me though, would you say these are top heavy or not, just felt like it could be
Thanks
Mel
Hi Mel
Ive toured and riden over 30,000 mile on mine, i find it a great alrounder, never had a problem with it feeling top heavy, the only caviate on that is if you have a back box on fully laden then you get a little light on steering etc. I usually even it out by putting a tank bag on when touring. The gears are a bit clunky sometimes but thats normal. Also some tyres can alter the handling, making things feel vague with limited feedback, i settled on Michelin after some trial and error, but it's just a personal preferance, like anything one person is suited to one thing and another is suited to something different.
Enjoy and stay safe
regards
Kev
Thanks Kev
Thanks for your time
Much appreciated
Mel
