This video is hilarious. I bet he’d really enjoy his own go pro footage. Glad he’s enjoying that cool bike. I just bought a 73 CB500 and I can totally see doing all of that like a noob.
instead of revving it just let it idle to warm up. We get to impatient but a carb needs time just a little time. It bets stalling it out. I just got a '71 CL450. What an engine.
Normally I would do as you say: let it warm up and not rev but it was apparent the engine wasn't going to stay running so I had to tweek the gas to keep it running. Of course the reason it wasn't going to stay running was due to the choke still being on; it was ready to run normally without the choke. Totally agree with your "what an engine"...really loved that engine especially keeping it in the exciting part of the power curve and pulling out of a corner.
@@BobJones-zf6ie The best thing about these bikes is they just don't make them with this type of personality, and they are low center of gravity, so why you do high rev on a corner or straight, it's heaven. Producing a documentary and will use my 71 CL450 in it to excite people. Going to the Salt Flats to get some pretty footage on a dirt bike. Doc is called Raw Freedom. Not sure of a release date, but hopefully 2024.
You forgot to turn on the key. You forgot you had an electric start. You forgot to let it warm up. You forgot to return the choke to the run position. You remind me of me.
Ha Ha Ha....In my defense, I had seven bikes, some two strokes some four strokes, some had electric start some didn't, some had the fuel petcock on the left some on the right, some had the crank start on the left some on the right, some had the choke down for "on", some had the choke up for "on", start key between the clocks some while below the gas tank up front for some while below the seat for others ...aaaannnd I had four cars, standard transmission some, automatic transmission others, reverse drive down and to the left on some while others all the way to the right and down for reverse, or shifter on the column....sometimes I had to stop and think carefully what the heck I needed to do...
My uncle gave me one of these. Sat in the garage since the 70’s All there. Trying to learn about it. Other bike is a Suzuki Hayabusa. So I may sell it, if it’s worth anything. Cool bike.
My first bike was a ‘71 CL450 scrambler. Pipes came up the side and it had a 2.4 gallon tank. Still, I rode it from MN to SC and back to college and SD to California to Texas the back to SD. Young and dumb!
A very nice bike, first four stroke bike I ever rode and loved the way it revved and pulled. Didn't expect to like it so much after all the two stroke bikes I'd ridden.
@@BobJones-zf6ie hey thank you mr. Jones! That's good info to know, I just picked up a 73 cb450 for $600 with the title, not a bad deal I don't think, she does need work but not much, and already has an electronic ignition, and upgraded regulator rectifier, and Dyna coils. But I also have six other Hondas three of which I need to sell, I have 2 cb350's and one cb400 four, and the cb400 has a spare motor and frame, the cb350 comes with two extra motors too, I've never owned a 2-stroke but would absolutely love to, and if I could get my hands on one that would be the Suzuki gt750 water buffalo! I would love to own that bike!!
@@joedeleon3435 Yes, I love the sound of the GT750...would love to have one in pristine shape. Would also love to have a 1976 Yamaha RD400 or one of its descendants.
@@BobJones-zf6ie I have never actually driven a two-stroke motorcycle! I'm dying to drive one at least! I have built a little 66cc motorized bicycle that is a two-stroke haha, and she can actually hold her own at about 60mph, but if I have my choice that will be the gt750, I would love to get my hands on one, I did see one over here in southern California for sale but I think they were asking around 8,000 for it, and if I had that money I would have bought it!
And actually I will be building a 1970 Yamaha XS1 650 very soon, it will be pretty much all original with some minor mods, it won't be a matching frame and engine# bike but it will be built entirely with 100% XS1 parts, I have an XS1 motor lined up for purchase already, and I need to find a 1970 frame, I have seen a 71 but I don't want a 71, it has to be a XS1 frame from 1970, nothing else will do...
Im fixing one of these it was my grandpas and has been in a barn since the late 70's. A cool little summer project except i've neveemr touched a bike besides this one and was having problems starting it. Think its just the choke but what do i know.
No, it was sold. Still have two Suzuki GT250's. One taken apart and disassembling the engine and transmission to see if it can be set correct: the transmission became quite clunky as though there were rocks in the transmission :
Ahhh, the button. I'm a lot older than that bike. Where's your lid...hate to see you damage that beautiful hairline. Oh, It's raining...don't hurry peace
Lid...your referring to no helmet....and hair line you mean that quickly "receding" hairline...yeah, agree, even when testing in front of my house I should be wearing a helmet 'cause all it would take is the front disc brake locking up for some reason, or the chain breaking and wrapping around the rear spokes, or a couple of other scenarios, and I would go flying into the road head first. Kind of makes me wince and as I imagine this type of event I quickly put my body armor on in mid flight and land sliding but atleast protected, thank goodness for being able to mentally edit very possible imaginary events.
I must say I'm still alive and kicking though I would be much safer had I taken a proper Motorcycle Riding class and stayed away from these older bikes with inferior brakes.
@@BobJones-zf6ie Ahhhh I'm sorry Bobby . Please don't take that away from me. Think of all the people whose lives might be saved minutes of blurred sketchy vid. How will I survive?
@@BobJones-zf6ie Bob, you are very worked up and clearly very attached to your shoddy video. We all need to hold on to something. Unfortunately you are unwilling to address this. I am sorry. I do not wish to troll. If you would like, I can direct you what good video looks like. Nonetheless. I give you the last word. I am sure you are a nice man and have a nice motorcycle. You good sir, however have an incredible piece of shite for a video sir. Something deserving a Polaroid on the bathroom wall. My best.
@@grational I think the most important part of this video is the sound of the engine. For historical purposes one can hear perfectly well what the engine sounds like under different stresses. And the last minute and a half of the video one gets to hear the all out revving of the engine as it is maxed out down the run way.

Holy crap...you're me. 30 bikes I think
My uncle gave me one of these.

All there.
Trying to learn about it.
Other bike is a Suzuki Hayabusa.
So I may sell it, if it’s worth anything.
Cool bike.
Always I say the same, some people was born to ride in bus.
that bike looks amazing in real life and in fake life.
Ha Ha Ha... I agree it was a beauty
Good job he's not trying to sell it.
My first bike was a ‘71 CL450 scrambler. Pipes came up the side and it had a 2.4 gallon tank. Still, I rode it from MN to SC and back to college and SD to California to Texas the back to SD. Young and dumb!
The 450 scrambler was a real beauty. That's a LONNNNNGGGGG trip on a 450!!!! But its better than walking or bicycling!
懐かしいホンダドリームcb４５０か500ccですね。動画有り難うございますね。
I'd say she's pretty quick brother, keep her on the road and have fun bud!

Beautiful bike !
Thanks, I loved going into a turn with rpms up ready for the power curve to pull out of the turn; a very nice engine.
On the cusp of a midlife (perhaps less if I buy it...ha eesh) purchase, think you just nudged me over the edge. 450 v 500, next decision.
Gracias.

Do you have experience with any other engine: cars, lawnmowers etc? Good luck, make a video if you can....
Make sure to empty all the old gas out and change the spark plug probably wouldn’t hurt to put a inline fuel filter in it
I'm going to pick one up today. Nice bike!
Thanks, I'll be checking to see if you leave us some videos....
Do you still have this or similar one?
No, it was sold. Still have two Suzuki GT250's. One taken apart and disassembling the engine and transmission to see if it can be set correct: the transmission became quite clunky as though there were rocks in the transmission :
just push the button man...
This video is funny 😂 it made me laugh at the end. What?
Ahhh, the button. I'm a lot older than that bike. Where's your lid...hate to see you damage that beautiful hairline. Oh, It's raining...don't hurry peace

Painful to watch. I didn’t expect him to come back.
I must say I'm still alive and kicking though I would be much safer had I taken a proper Motorcycle Riding class and stayed away from these older bikes with inferior brakes.
I hope he has insurance
このおじさん、キックでかけようとしたり、チョークかけたまま走ろうとしたり、バイクのことあまり知らないんじゃない。
That's nothing, I have 42new cars,over 50new motorcycles and airplanes, so you think you are confused
I'm hoping you'll share on youtube with us :-)

What a dork,be hurt bad in a month or so.
Yep...done got killed several years ago...

We all have our starting point. Get some videos up there so we can learn from the master...
