Classic Hondas
Post 'em up. Honda used to import a few bikes into Canuckistan that the 'mericans didn't get. Similar to the CX650E that Bingo mentioned in the other thread, I give you the CBX550:

Nope, but nice! I can actually remember seeing the exact same bike brand new in the dealer when I was 9 y.o. Hopefully you get it rolling again soon.mgdavis wrote:I don't think there's to many of these out there:

Sunshine229 (a.k.a. Mrs T.M.W.) has the same bike in original black and orange. It's in great shape too (as most bikes in Mikes garage are....).logitech104 wrote:my bike 1981 cb400t

Another Classic Honda - the 1984 Nighthawk 750 SC:

In what was supposed to be the final incarnation of air-cooled in line-4 750cc bikes (700 in the U.S.A.), the S.C. was a modern hot-rod when it was introduced. Following the same engine arcitechture as the '83 550 and 650 Nighthawks this thing was a lot of fun in the day. While there was already the 750 Interceptor for the sportbike guys this was more of a sport-standard. The later Nighthawk 750 introduced in '91 changed the whole concept to more of an economy bike, loosing the shaft drive and picking up low cost components. It would be interesting to see if a modern version of the S.C. (with 17" wheels and a beefed up frame) would sell. Don't cheap out on the components, keep it air cooled with shaft drive....

Unbelieveable! I owned that exact same bike back in the late 70's. I had a black exhaust tip on mine and I think the fenders were painted., but everything else is the same. Very cool. Thanks for the memory. I loved that bike.mgdavis wrote:I don't think there's to many of these out there:
Mine is original except for the 4-1 exhaust.

Here is my 1987 "Super" Magna:
This is how it looked when I got it...

What it looks currently:

I also have a luggage rack on there now, but it's not pictured:

This is my first bike and I LOVE it to death. It's not something you see everyday, so it really turns heads.

I've put 15K on this 1983 Interstate in three years without a hitch.

This '78 has been my daily rider rider since last August. These vintage GoldWings are a great machines.

ideas/suggestions needed
Hey guys,
These are what bikes are supposed to look like- you can see its components. Must have been the age when I first noticed bikes- early 80's- so bikes I saw as a kid were products of the 70's and early 80's.
Looked at your thread- you seem the bunch to know my period bike- 1978 CB400 T1. I'm trying to dress it up to look older still. I posted a description on the "everything else" garage forum under 50 50 honda. Could you take a look?

It's amazing how nice and comtemporary the '84 Nighthawk still looks today. This incarnation of the Nighthawk was a great bike. Too bad Honda only made it for a couple of years.High_Side wrote:Another Classic Honda - the 1984 Nighthawk 750 SC:

Re: Classic Hondas
Love the old classics, I had these three CB750s but regretably sold them when I got an offer I could't refuse.
