Honda-SOHC

The right decision I think jon....

I have used maidstone motoliner on a couple of ocasions. This was to straighten wheels not forks but i can definitely vouch for their ability as the job they did on the wheels was superb..... the wheels were returned to me in quite astonishingly straight condition, one was aluminium alloy and the other was an expensive Honda Magtek...

If it's was good in the flesh as the photos look, grab it fast!

Ditto !!

I always fancied an F model with the 4 into 1 pipes and different paint.....never got one though 😔. These days i like the look of the earlier models with 4 pipes, and the cb500's... they look chunkier. I always thought my 550 looked to have a "skinny" looking motor compared to the chunky 750's. Im looking forward to getting my 750 sorted out and otr..... Delkevic short pipe 4into1 and a classic giuliari two-four seat if i can get one, if not a replica will do.... I have an original giuliari for my RD but they seem to be very rare these days.....😳

For me its a convenience thing, i wont have to travel to and from the mot station five times a year. Wont make any difference to the safety of my bikes as i try to keep them roadworthy and dont just have blind faith in the fact that they are mot'd. As has already been said, you may come into contact with somebody who abuses the system and rides a dangerous vehicle but that can happen anyway, mot is just one check one day a year so no guarantee of year-round safety. Im a bit of a cynic when it comes to the govt, there is always some money-saving motive for their actions somewhere..... and they tend to focus on the big picture too i.e. cars and commercials emmission testing etc.... Are they lining all classic vehicles up for something further down the line when the end of the ic engine is looming?  who knows...... Make the most of it while you can 👍

The engine from a honda cb200 benly from the same period was very similar looking with the same style rocker cover if i remember correctly....

Which one? The link takes me to a search list?

My first bike was a silver Honda CB100N, my twin bro had a brown one, UEE 54T and UEE 53T.... they were good little learner bikes, most of my pals had fizzies and then RD250's...  I waited a couple of years befor I bought an RD250F, had it 2 months before somebody stole it from the bike shed at work JUA 431V, never saw it again.... My cub is painfully slow but great fun. She's off the road at the mo in need of a bit of fettling... oil passing from the crank case into the points cover.
