Easy Engine cases BMW are totally different looking & a couple of other things but want go there

I mean the exact year. Most were guesses of an early or early 80's CB, but to pinpoint the exact year? Unless something in particular gives the bike away.

Interesting you say that as I remember calling it a G5 80... so YG5 may be it.

Hi
Looks like a 1980's Honda with comstar wheels. Maybe something like a CB500X.(was the X for a turbo?) Mr Honda brought out some models that have that general shape & painted white too. I reckon its white under that camouflage. That's my guess
Cheers.

Sit down mate... we need a chat.

The CX500 & 650tc were turboed the CB range were never turboed but did have the comstar wheels as did the CX500a's & b's
The CBX never had comstar or turbo's..... only white bikes were the copers CB's and the CX euro's (includes Turb)
EITHERway....... no 80's bikes looked anything like that snow covered 78 CB400T
