$148k Vintage Honda
I stumbled on this while researching the Honda 750 Four.
The Prototype I've been lusting after this one my friend has for sale. A '71 model. |

I've always had a yearning for the CBX, but my motorcycle days are never to return

Same here - no more bikes. In the early 80's, I had a Yamaha RD-350 2-stroker.

I had a Honda CL-70, a Kawasaki 400 of some sort (it was more or less my Dad's but I rode it more), and my Suzuki GS-550 that was a rocket ship. And then I quit riding because I liked living better.

The prototype in the article is one of four hand built '69. That may be the only complete running one in the world, hence the large price
As far as the '71 you may be interested in, much easier to get parts and a lot more affordable. |

Here is the only pic of my bike. I don't even remember the exact year.

Not a Honda , but one cool bike I had was a 1976 Kawasaki KH1 550 two stroke. In racing circles it was nicknamed "The Widowmaker" by those who ride them. Very fast but also very heavy. I also had an LTD Kaw that was a great cruiser.

Most folks who had the KH500 ditched the air cleaner and exhaust. Now those parts bring good money for the folks who want to restore them. |
