Not a Honda, but just shows how crazy auction prices and buyers can be - that’s about £44,600!

On the 450 that's high for the US. Mecum certainly hypes them up. Interesting that you think that vey low mileage originals are worth a premium on concours restorations.

On another news feed I saw an old Harley that was sold at Mecum for £1m dollars..  I’m going to change my tank badges.
