    Doesn't seem too bad at all, if I was nearby I'd be on that like white on rice.

        Can you imagine going 65 mph on those tiny front tires?

            First of all, there were no '74 Wings.

            Second, the 1100 did not arrive until 1980.

            Third, all the rest of the BS.

                I've never heard of that model. One question, what is with the oil lines running along the right side of the engine? At first I thought they would go to a front-mounted oil cooler, but that does not look a cooler to me.

                  It is based on the XR600 dirt bike engine.
                  It has a dry sump and the oil is carried in the frame.

                    Obviously a misplaced decimal point. $64.00 sounds about right.

                      That's an FT 500 ascot in different form. Too expensive for me.

                        A little bit high don't you think?
                        Nice looking bike though even though it looks unfinished to me.

                            The GB 500 didn't sell because it was bog slow and cost as much as a CB 600 Hurricane

                            People who wanted a big single bought the SRX 6, which had a lot more of everything.

                            The GB is pretty, but I don't know why it would be that collectible

                              As a rule, cafe bikes should be able to do the ton. I doubt that bike got over 85, I had the same motor in my FT500 and it topped at 87. And it took an hour to get up to that speed.

                                My '87 XR600R has a speedo and I have seen it over 95 on gravel roads while thinking that I probably shouldn't be taking sweepers at that speed on knobby tires like a dirt tracker.
                                The frame is currently cracked and leaking oil as some fool likes to take jumps that are a bit too high and far on it.
                                I will have to weld it and add some braces to the lower tubes.
