That looks mint! What a fleet you have?! You should do a photoshoot with the entire lineup.

Will do. I have to get it yet. It’s paid for, waiting on him to fit new tires, all oils and fluids, battery and go through the carbs. He won’t let me have it till it’s done 🤪

Wow! lovely buy!

I'm with John, I think we will need a video :)

Last one of these I saw in Motorcycle City in Aldershot/Farnborough, UK area in the late 90s and it was a display bike and not for sale.

Nice Paul.

Are you going to use the forks and SS swingarm for a project bike? :smt005

Was that a local find?

Looks like a beauty.

I swapped the front and rear with an old RZ I have here. Forks are a little soft for the Honda, I’ll put better springs in them, they’ll be grand 😂

Picked it up just north of Chicago from a guy I know Ken. S

Shes in the house, Spent a few hours going through it as it hasn't been run in 6 years, The PO changed all the fluids etc, New batter in, charged it up,
Fired in a few gallons of gas and it pissed all over the floor, Popped the tank and turned on the tap and the gas was pissing out of the pipes that link the carbs, Pulled the carbs and took them apart,
the rubber orings were all rock hard, they snapped when I tried to remove them,

All new orings later, checked all the float heights and jets while I had them off, Popped them back on, Bitches to fit!!! Turned on the gas and she fired up, Let her warm up and off for a 15 mile spin, Ran Like a champ, damn thing is fast, soooooooo smooth, Its the smoothest gearbox Ive ever used, just snicks up and down with no effort, First gear is bloody high!!, Then the rest are very close and very smooth,
Im in love :)

Look how bloody tiny it is, its literally the size of a 400, The 500s have soo much more room and just easier for me, Im 6-2 and its tiny....
