Bit of weekend window shopping again. Old Hondas have caught my eye, for some reason; a '68 CL350 and a CD175:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original-unrestored-barn-find-classic-motorcycle-honda-CD175-1313-miles-from-new-/221192537482?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item33801a458a

Also, this is really sweet - and not bad for the price, I thought (it's a '73 CB125S):

Yeah - funny old zorst though, that's my only thing. Does that style have a name or anything? Is it up there for clearance? And shaped like that so it's not in the way? Is it 'copied' from Triumph's trials exhausts?

Would argue that this trumps OP suggested bikes.


Gayness and impracticallity yours would win hands down.

OP's bikes are far more practical, superior and better looking.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Oh and an R125 for £5,000! That'll be for sale for a while.

I'm quite fond of the 3rd one myself. Nothing really changed between that and my '91 CG Laughing

if you mean is far gayer then you win,

the cl is nice but they were always on the raged edge when it came to reliability ,
and paying any more than a 1000 quidleys is too much for any 70s honda single

Z250 based engines are known for imploding, so clean the oil "thimble" strainer/service before riding.

All three of the OP`s choice are very nice, problem is my wallet is`nt that fat Sad .

I am so glad people make the effort to make old bikes live again, however I dont think I could have the patience to get one of my bikes to that standard.
Ten out of ten to them for doing it though.


This is more my thing if I did have a fat wallet
