Stuck in the middle!

(1/2) > >>

Johnny4428:
It maybe hovering about the middle somewhere, but I had a lovely 75 mile ride on my trusty old 550 this morning. Since restoring this machine I can honestly say this is a very enjoyable middle of the road machine (even with its PD46A carbs)! Certainly wouldn’t swap for no modern “crotch rocket”!

Yes, a cracking day yesterday - was that taken in the 'wild west'?

Be extra careful on a 'middle of the road' machine, I might be coming the other way on my 350/4. 8)

Wow, what a backdrop too.

I feel all of these fours from 350 to 750 stand up to modern use really well. Just shows the fantastic work Honda did in conceving them all those years ago.

Spitfire:
Looks beautiful especially against that backdrop

Cheers

Yes, it's amazing that they would have started life on the drawing board more than 50 years ago and yet they are still very capable machines, very well suited to a blast around Orkney on a lovely sunny morning.
