Below is a link to a copy of the early 1968 MCM article on the CB450SS..... a painted red sporty version, based on the "Ken Ives Special" in an attempt to shift unsold CB450K0 bombers before the release of the CB450K1 5-speed. Interesting that the parts were added in the UK and that the chroming and paint were reported to be of poor quality compared with normal Honda standards (paint had orange peel and chrome on headlamp rusted in a very short time). Pity they didn't sell the 450D kit add on here, which transformed the Bomber into a stunning street scrambler.
The test bike PUL 35F is still on the DVLA UK register but last taxed in 1982
