1981 Honda CB 750

Purchased: Apr 2005
Info: Was offered this bike and the 1982 CB450 Nighthawk for $200 (for the pair). I couldn´t pass it up. I´ve been wanting a CB750 for some time. The instant my wife saw it, she claimed it as her own. Since she didn´t kill me when she saw it, i figured it was only fair.

Purchased: Jun 2005
Info: Purchased this to replace my CM400T when i sold that. It was my daily rider for the summer of 2005.***
Recently cracked the crankcase, and so it will be getting an engine out of a CM450 and probably a chop job.***
Update:04-11-06 - This weekend i started in with the sawzall. This CB400 will be a CM450 bobber when iīm finished.

1980 Honda CB 360

Purchased: Dec 2004
Sold: Sep 2006
Info: I just bought this bike December 2004. What it boils down to is that the price was right and i couldnīt pass it up. Itīs already had a good amount of work done towards a cafe racer conversion, and a little more on my part should have it in good shape. Hoping that itīll be finished by summer.<br>
So i got tired of looking at this thing. I''d tried to sell it a few times, and had no luck

Sold: Jul 2004
Info: 1980 Yamaha XS 850SG
I bought this one as a parts bike after laying down the other one. Figured itīd be cheaper to get the few parts i needed off of it and then part it out or resell it. Plus, i thought i could use the crash bar on my 750, but i was mistaken. After picking it up, i had second thoughts. Now iīm thinking about getting it running again, or selling it to a friend so he can get it run

He was a mechanical engineering major, and made the 6 hour trip in a borrowed Jeep Cherokee the next day to pick it up. We got it jammed i

1981 Honda CX500

Sold: Aug 2005
Info: This bike needed an alternator, which is quite an ordeal with this bike. After having it take up room in my garage for a number of months i decided that i would probably never get around to fixing it. Then i found out that in MN i couldn´t use a title service to get a title for it anyway, so i parted it out.
