    Saying goodbye to a (not so) old friend.

    It's with a degree of sadness that I have to say goodbye to my 1st restomod...a Honda CB500K1. But having found the GS750EC, the decision was made....the Honda has to go.
    Some of the funds earned from the sale will go towards bringing the Suzi "up to scratch".

    The old:

      Love that orange paint scheme.
      Slightly Laverda-ish.

      Second new bike i ever bought was a '73 CB500. Really enjoyed it.

        I don't see much in that Honda that looks resto-moddish?

          Well, when I bought it, it was a cafe racer so I spent quite a bit bringing it back to somewhere near stock. I guess the "mod" part is the 4 into 1 exhaust and the paint scheme (which I liked when I bought it and decided not to change it.)

            I was thinking that I don't remember a 500-4, but then I saw where you are.
