What bike is this?

[merv]

Nope. Not a CB350. If you look at the picture of the CB350, and the mystery picture, the CB350 has a retaining screw for the sprocket cover just behind where the clutch cable enters. And the top rear of the sprocket cover terminates just under the lowest point of the side cover. The mystery bike has no screw (but you can clearly see where it would be if it was there, you can see all the top of the sprocket cover from the clutch cable entry point rearward). And the sprocket cover stops well short of the side cover (ie it doesn't extend enough rearward) .

Save Spank's first pic and enlarge it in Windows viewer and you'll see the screw is there on the sprocket cover directly under the carb and I think the angle is deceiving making it look like the cover finishes short of the sidecover. Yep so CB350 motor it is, but definitely CB77 tank or was there an early 350 we don't know about?

Clutch cable assys been replaced at some stage as the originals of that era had grey outers.

You can make out the valve adjustment access cap between the points lead and ht lead too.

Yes, I think you are right, the screw is there, it appears to be in the wrong place but I think that is foreshortening or some other cinematic oddity.

CB350 with a CB77 tank though leaves me unsatisified, the "it's a bitsa" always seems a cop out.

But I doubt it would be a prototype , factories don't let their prototypes rust away like that, they either look after them or scrap them.

Yeah well problem is I don't think there ever was a 450 or 350 with that tank and kneepad profile which is exactly CB77 (or CB72 for that matter) but then the only thing odd is where is the fuel tap?

See first pic is CB77 and second pic is clip from Spank's pic - sure looks like the same tank and knee pad. Angles are slightly different giving a different impression. Maybe they really did make a CB350 with that profile tank and kneepad.

On the other side -

Still haven't found more of the bike, but I've found some nice ones of her arse & tits thou if that helps?

[merv]

Do you want us to identify the year and type of the old Honda trail bike in the background now?

Shit didn't even notice it. Must be a gay test. All I was looking at was her arse.

It's from the same photo set/location.

Mystery solved? I reckon what we have here is a Japanese domestic market only '68 CB250, apparently this model was never released to the rest of the world

[SpankMe]

Found another pic with the bike in it.



Prefer her with straight hair thou.

Yep. That's it. Well done. Give that man an orang-utan.

In the words of Elvis, "Thankyou, thankyou very much"

[Ixion]

Does anyone notice that the rest of us diligently searched and posted the results of our searches : carbs, tanks, road tests, engine shots. Whilst Mr Spankme diligently searches and posts te results of his searches : tits, arses, bikini shots. I think perhaps he must have been using different search terms.

[nudemetalz]

I think Merv's "altered" pic which had "screw" might have had the arrow going in the wrong direction.........

[xwhatsit]

Definitely looks like that domestic CB250.
