What bike is this?

[scumdog]

Amazed at the knowledge and diligence of you lot, well done!


And the 'sticking to the topic' - way better than most other KB threads!

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

Good find Dave. 160 km/h though?

[merv]

EuroDave how did you find that? Did I not look far enough down the Google finds because all I kept getting were basically the US Honda histories which matched what we were used to here.

So it has the later type CB250 engine (similar to the CB350 we got here) and it has the CB72/77 style tank with those kneepads. Priceless.

Yeah the girl was nice too and Spank now you have the bike sorted what you going to do, try and buy one?

[Paul in NZ]

Well done... I had a quick think myself and at one stage was thinking it was a CB77 with CV carbs fitted as one US site claimed it was a common mod to get around the difficult cold starting / running of the std unit but I figured they fitted the sidecover too well to be an afterthought...

Certainly, the bike is well past it's prime in japanese terms...

[fergie]

don't know what bike it is but i want to know why we want to know?

Yeah you did well.

[barty5]

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.

there is a big difference between the carbs on the air box pipe and your pic has the carb tilted forward

Yeah that was why it couldn't be a CB77, but in the end it was a CB250 with a CB77 style tank as Eurodave was able to enlighten us.

Found another pic with the bike in it.

CB77 style instruments in the headlight , too. A "use up outstanding contract committments" special methinks.

Yeah well no wonder I was thinking protoype which I guess is what a Jap market job is before the rest of the world gets it. Sounds like a parts bin special - should've been a Suzuki then.

any coincidence that the sign next to her ass says 'rod alley'... maybe she likes it that way?

[merv]

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.

Does someone need to tell you the make, year and model of that car she is in too? Perhaps Scummy knows - he's a 4-wheel guy.

Anyway Spank you still haven't told us why you really needed to know about the bike.

Yep stick your rod through the heart like Cupid's arrow.
