There was the BMW that had a cable from the lever to the master cyl on the top frame rail

I think the CB50 from the early 80’s also had a cable operated disc Bryan although I maybe incorrect?
I remember the cable operated disc on my CB200 malfunctioning and it locked on sending me over the front!
The CB200 though is a very nice bike as is the CB/CD/CL175 and the CB/CL160.

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!

I'm a 100% RSA type of guy Ash, RSD's (especially the colours) don't do it for me with that ugly stuck on starter mechanism that had a habit of not working. I was just thinking about Ted's kickstart leg with the RSA although they are really easy to start and if they do kick back it's more of a tickle than a broken ankle😁. The CBX250 was a jewel though if a bit expensive and over complicated but very nice looking and kept the single pot performance 250 going a bit longer.

Arch stanton:
I never understood Honda's thinking with the cable disc.
All that machining to produce caliper mechanism.
What was wrong with the simple hydraulic system they used
On everything else. Give me the twin leader on the Cb175 any day.
In fact the Cb200 was a very inferior replacement to the Cb175.
