Forgot to say I'm surprised you haven't joined the pissing contest about whether casings are polished or painted - we know you have experience.

Quiet snigger! ;) ;D

That's a really comprehensive series of articles, anyone would think you have a vested interest in the subject  :)

Thats wicked Ash. I knew you had it from a previous post but never seen it. Is that one of the ones you mentioned that were on the original advertising by Honda back then?
OR, am I thinking of a completely different bike? In my defence Ive just got back from the states and a bit fuzzy with the sleep depravation from the flight :D

No ...the only Honda UK press bike I own is the CD175A sloper 'OLA 4E' that was reviewed in 'Motorcycle' and used in 1967 brochures.

Review here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pmj1fju95l8xbtj/CD175%20Sloper%20Reviews.pdf?dl=0

However, only last week I proved that a friends C110D  was a Honda press bike '576 PG', used in the brochure here in the pic. attached. He had to pay an eye-watering £155 for the brochure in an eBay bidding war but well worth it as provenance. He was over the moon, as I had been harping on to him for a couple of years that I had a hunch it was a press bike. The brochure is rare as it as published when Honda UK was still based in Kingston-on-Thames.

Here are the sad pics of both press bikes concerned. My sloper CD175 and his C110D (later became C114) plus the brochure pic.. Mine will be a high pipe version C110.
