Hi and welcome. Whereabouts are you?
There seems to be quite an uptake of CB's on our wee island.

Welcome
The 500T seem to be becoming quit popular I actually saw one on the road the other day :o mind you it looked like it hadn't been washed since the 80's

I get the feeling alot of you guys do not go for the 500t.I would not mind finding one to restore I liked them.The top end was the best the chrome work was at the time crap exhaust etc
Had nice clocks and overall not a bad bike in my opinion.No they did not take off did not handle well but you could get around that.Over here black bomber parts are worth a mint and I do not remember them catching on either.
Cheers

Welcome Spen, there is nothing wrong with a 500T. They look good and if the engine is set up right they do not rattle too much. These old boys are stuck in the 4s and not twins.

I'm just outside Ballyclare ,The last time I was on a CB500t was about 20 years ago and I hit a rather large dog and went over the bars at about 60mph hopefully this one will bring me better luck
