Honda CB 450 T

[Paul in NZ]

I've got those "Cycle World Road Tests" books which in the Hinda one has about 3 road tests on the then new 450's.
The very first ones that came out were 360 degree cranks but were very quickly changed to 180 degree cranks (ala GPz500).

I'm happy to photocopy/lend these articles as they describe the 450 motor in great detail.
Nice looking machine if you got one and restored to mint.

Erm - beauty in in the eye of the beholder.... Early 450's were nice looking but the later ones? Not quite my cuppa char....

No.. the very first ones (the Black Bombers) are the ones I'm referring to.
(like this one)

The CB500T's...errr......nope....
