    Thank you for not turning it into a cafe racer, brat bike, or anything other than what Honda intended. Stunning restoration BTW.

    Beautiful restoration-good to see the 450 brought back to it's former glory,I have an original Honda promotional pamphlet for the 1966 Honda CB 450 showing the bikes "modern" features like the electric starter and ,of course the Torsion bar valve springs Auckland New Zealand 2022

    Thanks for that, you did a BRILLIANT job. I am SO glad that you kept it original/stock and didn't go down the Cafe Racer current trend!!

    I rode my 1970 CB450 from Florida to California to Iowa in summer of 2020. absolute unit of a bike. I'm almost 300lbs, and I had 80 lbs of gear with me. three oil changes, two chains, and one rear tire later... I didn't even have an electric starter until I went through Oregon on the return trip. I rolled into Cedar rapids Iowa to meet my father for the first time, on one cylinder, leaking oil from the clutch push rod boot like it was non existent, a blown head gasket and various other things. I tore down that motor last month expecting to find it had grenaded itself. nope. re-leveled the heads and found out that it didn't even need a cam chain or rollers. everything was as beautiful as if it had just come from the factory. keep in mind, I would sometimes put a dubious mix of light and heavy oil in it when I couldn't find the right stuff. thing will do 70 on the freeway with absolutely no compression on one cylinder. I will always love this bike. when Honda built these, they built them to last. I'm picking up a second one in less than 8 hours.

    Had that model myself. Every bit as good as yours looks when I got it. Very reliable compared to others before that. Eventually I was quite taken with it . Go real well and handle so easily. Thanks for some memories of the early 80's. It looks very nice.

    Great job. Had a new 71 HD Sportster stolen with no theft insurance. Found a low mileage 72 CB 450 at the Harley dealer for 850 dollars. Turned out to be a great little bike. Traded up for a CB 750 later and then many other makes and models over the years. I'm thinking of doing a Classic and one that comes to mind is the 1967 CB 450.

    Absolutely a great video and restoration, I remember well in 1971 I bought a cb 350 and my brother-in-law bought the cb450 a few months later. Of course
    Year later I bought the 750 and for some reason he thought 4carbs would be trouble and he bought the Yamaha 650. That didn't last long and
    He then bought a 750.

    I had that exact bike same year, my first bike, mine was black. Had about 12,000 miles when my dad sold it. It was just sitting for years in the back of the shed. He sold back around 1990 in excellent shape for 125 bucks. I wish I still had it.

    @dannymccune1888 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Some of the 72 CB450's had a defect in the transmission. I had one of them. Factory paid to replace the bad parts, shifting forks and shaft(s), I think. If it has more than about 20,000 miles, it's probably okay or was fixed long ago. I used to have the serial numbers of the bad ones, long gone... If it starts getting hard to shift, talk to an old Honda guy with a real good memory.
