How to fill the void ?
AshimotoK0:
A few 'Ashimoto' suggestions Ted:-
Fuji Rabbit from Motoclassics in Hampshire (ask for David, mention my name if anyone interested). I don't know of another in the UK !

CD175A 'Sloper' from Oxford Classic Honda ... He's had this in stock for ages I think because the engine is rattly but engine parts not a problem on this bike BUT it has decent exhausts which are absolute hen's teeth items. So has potential. A very much loved model. The owner Charlie is probably the nicest dealer you would ever meet... a really honest, enthusiastic fella. He would probably come down a few quid too... he did on my C100 50cc Sport I got off him in 2022.

Honda S90 from David Silver. Would be a very easy resto. Possibly too easy. But who doesn't admire a tiddler?

He's got quite a few bikes in, such as a nice C110 Honda 50 Sport and a C100 Step thru.

He has a CL160 too ... I am not a fan of the CB160 myself, been there in '75 and have the 'T' shirt. But I think the CL version is cool. Again an easy resto.

Laverda Dave:
Good suggestions there Ash👍.
Worth having a look at J H Pugh auction site as well Ted. There's a bike auction tomorrow with a CB160 in the line up.
The sloper CD175 at Oxford Classics as recommended by Ash does look good though if you can get it for the right money.

Or......if you want something smaller but still sohc and still fun to ride AND restore......a CB250RSD. Just make sure the starter motor is working because a lot of them failed!

Same engine though as the NTV but a bit more exotic with the alloy beam frame. Plenty of Bros400 around as well, same basic water cooled V-Twin Sohc engine as the 650. The engines were bullet proof and not uncommon for 80,000+ miles. Lots of dispatch riders used them, the natural successor to the VT500 and the CX500 before it.

I always liked the look of the Bros

Sounds to me you should short list the CB250RS, I never did like the Deluxe model paint job, but hey, the best looking one I had was customised. ;)
