CB500 Advert

[AshimotoK0]

I know the fate of the Cb750 and Cb400F press bikes but  I wonder what happened to the CB500F advert bike DHH 39L Not on DVLa register unfortunately. Not sure if this was the press bike too ..will check.

Me thinks that all the advert bikes were photographed in Japan. As all the sales literature would of been sent before the bikes.

Not so with 750K0 or CB250K0 but possibly for 500/4 as I don't have any original UK  brochures for that bike. The 400/4 press bike was a European spec one and had the larger indicators JGC 606N.

Very nice James. Is it up for sale ?

[JamesH]

:-) deal pending Graham although I'm still on the fence as to whether to hold onto her...

[Trigger]

Was at the director of marketing house (Honda UK, bike division ) having a cuppa and he was telling me that there were two types of sales literature, one would of been for the dealership and another for sales. Most photos were done in Japan, even though some of the literature was printed in different country's.

I'd keep that one if I were you James, nice looking bike and in my opinion one of the best sohc fours. I've one similar with just over 5K miles and its by far the nicest one to ride that I've owned.

I too had a Lewis Leathers "Lightning" Fringed leather jacket. And a Bell Star helmet.

Never got on with the boots of the 70's though. They always leaked and the zips broke.
When I was at Uni and riding every day, I had a pair of "Derri Boots" - anyone remember them?
They were plactic wellies moulded to look like proper boots.

Still have a pair of Derriboots with the wool lining. Dug out a old Sidi jacket the other day. Boots still fit but, not the jacket

Is this what you mean Steve 

[fryerk]

Oh yes - had several pairs of Derriboots over the years I thought they were brilliant!

[Trigger]

Nice Derriboots and, what I use today, Dunlop

Opps, they are not Derri but, Zivanit boots from the late 80's early 90's.

 yup,and still got them,not much worn now,as I pick and choose when I ride,
 rain is not as much fun ,

but mainly ,hate the cleaning of the bike after a wet ride
