RE: First Honda
I know that I have a picture of it around here somewhere, but I've searched time and again and have yet to find it. Anyway, the bike looked just like this.

RE: First Honda
Bought my 1978 CB400 HAWK for $400 in the early 90's Sold it for $400 in 2000. I had said I will always keep it, then when I was older and had the money I'd fix it up again. But unfortunately I needed the money and just never rode the bike, so I sold it. Tried to locate it recently and emailed the guy I sold it to, but no response.

When I saw the CB1100 I had flashbacks as it looked so much like my CB400, only a bit heavier and thicker, just like me. When I get my CB 1100, I think I'll add the highway bars, I like the look.

RE: First Honda
I wish I had photos of those first Hondas. In 8th grade a guy who had the hots for my sister let me ride his 150. It was a great way to get rid of me while he put the moves on her. That was the first motorized vehicle of any kind I operated. Years later I had a 75 CB550 to commute to college. Then a 2001 VFR. There were other bikes along the way, but the Hondas never disappointed.

Go hagofuku yourself.

RE: First Honda
My first Honda a new old stock CJ360T, 1977. After coming from a little 125 two stroke this was a godsend. Kinda on the look out to get one again. Lovely machines. I now have a 350F and you would think the four cylinder would be uber cool but my Guzzi's and 650L have made me a torque junkie and the 350F has no torque.

RE: First Honda
My problem is I have no pics from back in the day, so I spend my life trying to find the bikes like the ones I have had in the past and rescuing them.Blush

in 1964 who brought it to me in back of a 56 Chevy.
I dated my wife on it in high school , I didn't have a car.
She used to ride it "sidesaddle" some times because of the short
dresses back then. I know I have a picture of it some where but can't find it. Here is a pic. of one I restored about 25 years ago, I still have it.
One of the few pushrod motors Honda ever made.
She would do 53 mph on a good day.
