Anyone know what kind of Honda this is?

Mid to late 1960's CA95 (150cc) or CA160. Looks like it could scrub up well- a decent example of one of these could be worth around US$2000. Good parts availability.

Thanks everyone, looks like it's a c95/ca95.

How am i gonna work out what year it is?
I'm going to try find a frame number on it when i get a chance to clean it up a bit, might be able to work it out from that hopefully.

Sweet, it should be a fun little project too. Just gotta find some time and money now.

And Dushy can help you shake the cans (or was it Andrew?)

And the Honda 305s twins where putting out similar top speeds to those 500s

Hmmm, well let's sort the engine out first!

Heck, my mate's 125 could just about match them!! I'm sure it could top 70mph!

Having another look, I think from vague memory, my mate's 125 had a slightly different engine, so it is probably earlier, but unless you can get a frame number, or the owner knows for sure, it could well be the C95 or a Benly. Whichever it is, it's a genuine classic.

There's a member, Romeo, on here belongs to the Early Jap Club in the SI, I'm sure the club would LOVE the opportunity to help out!

love it - even if you shove it aside covered in CRC for another 20 years it will be a good buy.

Or man would it look sharp with a 250 on the rear

Looks like its had a soup up too. Note the trendy red HT leads. Probably an earlier model that had screw on with a nut type leads but converted to have push fit plugs maybe.
