Re: 69 Honda CB750 Sandcast 445 original miles
My first street bike was a 1965 (I think) Dream 150 and then a purple 73-ish CB350 that did the job for a while.
I always wanted a KZ-900 or 1000 and my brother in law had a GPZ1100 that was pretty fast. I had a Victory Vegas that I sold but looking for maybe a Jackpot next year. Love those old Jap bikes though, and nothing, NOTHING sounds like those old KZ's. |

I picked up this 1974 Honda CB550 over the winter. It has a cool cafe racer style. The old Hondas are very cool and still cheap. As long as it's not a1969 750 sandcast https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...9835-image.jpg

Cool bike Dan! I had a 1974 550 years ago. Trans was a huge upgrade over the 500's but in 1974 only they had the same style as the earlier 500. I see the shifter has already been updated to the 750 lever. I need to find one again, pref orange too. Both of these were mine around 1998.

The orange has always been my favorite color on these early Honda's. I also love the trail90 bikes,

Great thread [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]. Makes me want to watch "On Any Sunday" right now. I really like the vintage bikes. Street, dirt, Enduro and mini bikes too.

My first link ran out. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...wasaki_900.jpg
I saw a fully restored Z1 at a local cruise last week.It was gorgeous.Same color combo as pic.When I was in High School a buddy or mine got the 1st 305 Yamaha to be imported into Canada.I just loved the sound of that bike pulling out of a turn.No other bike sounded the same.It was a giant killer and gave it to many a 650 back in the mid 60s.My father was worried I was going to be a biker so he offered me $400 if I passed grade 12 to buy my 1st 69 Camaro SS.Later in 1987 I bought a 87 GN which I thought was not fast enough so I got a Vmax.Man.What a bike. |

My first bike was a 74 model 550 four. Sadly, I just won't ride any more. Too many distracted drivers; most are texting or at least looking at their phones. |

I remember my green 1976 Kawasaki 900, what a bike. I've got some pictures somewhere.
