    I notice that this bike came with a 2nd generation toolkit with a hammer and a pipe wrench.The earlier kit had a rock instead of the hammer-JCoolClick image for larger version.

    Finding good pipes for the '70s bikes is sure becoming more difficult
    I've said it before but I am a very stupid man. I bought a fairly tatty shed stored CB400F on tardme and went through it and replaced all the consumables, fluids and generally caught up with its deferred ish maintenance and rode it for a few years then decided "Meh, I am over old bikes" and sold it. INSTANTLY regretted it.

    There was a CB550F (not stock, but OK) that came up on my tardme feed this morning. Had a buy now of $5k. I went to click it and it was sold

    probably rebuilt by now, just put it up cos it looked sickening to see the old things in that state.

    One reason may be that the 350 is a pretty little thing, nicer looking than the 400. Then again I like the look of the CB500 compared tp the 550. As always it's in the eye of the beholder, but it's entirely academic I enjoyed my CB500 in 1973 but wouldn't want to know about one now.

    I very nearly did exactly the same thing with a cagiva v raptor. It had been listed before with no interest and then a couple of months later, he relisted it and the very next morning, when I rang, it was sold.

    The bike that I think is one of the sweetest of the late 70, early 80's (76-83 I think) is the Z650 Kawasaki four.

    It would run rings around similar Hondas and handled better. Been a while since I've seen one for sale.

    Considering a GT 750 in boxes would be worth near half, and some expensive parts are already with the project, not such a bad price. A real Greenframe is at least 4 times that, or more.

    Absolutely ! Hate it when advertisers do that. Reminds me when a friend told me about someone selling an H2 (back in mid 70s) and the photo in the ad was of my friend racing his H2, not the bike for sale

    you'd get $15k for that easy in an unmolested state.

    I am interested in those wheels though - they look like Morris "mag" wheels
