New to Hondas!
« on: August 25, 2021, 09:50:09 PM »
This is me, new to here and Hondas except riding a 400/4 and Dream 400 when despatch riding around London in 77.  Recently acquired & resurrecting a 75 400/4  to join a Norton Jubilee & Yamaha XS850 in my garage. Likely to have a “few” queries during the rebuild so please bear with me!

The main reason for me choosing to ride a Yamaha XJ900 Diversion back in 1995 was seeing them and the smaller XJ600's  everywhere around London being ridden by dispatch riders when my wife lived in North Finchley  - I knew they could rack up the miles trouble free.
