Hi and welcome. Whereabouts are you?
There seems to be quite an uptake of CB's on our wee island.

Welcome
The 500T seem to be becoming quit popular I actually saw one on the road the other day :o mind you it looked like it hadn't been washed since the 80's

I get the feeling alot of you guys do not go for the 500t.I would not mind finding one to restore I liked them.The top end was the best the chrome work was at the time crap exhaust etc
Had nice clocks and overall not a bad bike in my opinion.No they did not take off did not handle well but you could get around that.Over here black bomber parts are worth a mint and I do not remember them catching on either.
Cheers

Welcome Spen, there is nothing wrong with a 500T. They look good and if the engine is set up right they do not rattle too much. These old boys are stuck in the 4s and not twins.
