When I worked in the shipyard at Barrow 40+ years ago many locals used these as their daily transport, i imagine most were scrapped years ago -

The biggest selling motor vehicle of all time.
The older ones are increasing in value so if you have one in the back of your garage hang on to it.
You meet the nicest people on a honda.

Used one C90 as a winter bike when I put my best away so the winter salt did not corrode it
I had a Honda C70 when I was about 20.
Had a nasty accident with a bulk LPG tank (although I wasn't hurt too badly)
Never ridden since.

Indeed as my son has demonstrated even with 12.5 hp he can be lethal!

Funnily enough I was chatting to a mate about the 380 triples, I remember a guy I worked with had one, all black, and looked really smart.
I passed my bike test in 1979, and I've had a bike on the road pretty continuously since then. But my current bike is my last, I think!
my ageing, but still lovely Ducati 748.

The only thing I ever regretted selling was my Z650 B1

I regretted selling my SV650S - great fun little bike, if i had changed the clip on to bars would have kept it but kids were young then wife was not happy
Biggest regret selling my 1972 Kawasaki S2 350cc for £125 in 1978 after stripping and painting frame.
SWMBO said it had to go as it was stripped and in a bedroom, try and replace one in original condition for £000's today

For sale Yamaha 350 LC
as you can see its in original un restored condition, complete matching numbers with everything works on it as it should.
Its had
front brakes rebuilt
master cylinder rebuilt
brake fluid change
new clutch plates
new gear box oil
It is a German import now fully registered in the UK with age related plate, so its the same as uk spec but has KM clocks
Pick up Ulverston South Lakes, Cumbria, or can have it delivered to any address in the uk, at your cost, or we do a deal

The best bike i owned is the one in my avatar, 1978 Honda cx500 v twin, built to take a turbo the crank cases are super strong the v is 75 degrees so they turned the heads in to keep the carbs out of the way hence the moniker twisted v, i modded mine 16 inch rear wheel 650 clutch and pinion i ditched the cdi ignition for an ignitech full electronic jobby did the triple bypass, cam chain guides stator and mech seal, did 70,000 miles on it all over the uk and europe would cruise at 80mph all day fully loaded and never missed a beat, and it is on sorn somewere in Whitechurch in Cheshire if i was to buy another bike it would be this i just love v twins https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=m...vld=cid:5c849935,vid:SNkIvO0eFIw,st:0&vssid=l

Oh boy, now we're talking.
I've got a shed full of bikes, British, American, Italian, Japanese, Czech, Swiss, 2 stroke, 4 stroke, singles, parallel twins, vee twins, triples, 1932 to 2006, trail, sports, road, scooter, great ones and terrible ones, basket cases, custom, restored. Just turned spring here so bike season again.
Funny thing is I have more fun on a small capacity 70s one than anything else...
