I piloted a BSA m21 combination for Motorcycle deliveries and collections the Side car had a rear loading Ramp on a few occasions the piston melted while idling in Traffic. It was upgraded to a BSA A65 which was much better.

My sister brought one brand new in 1963 to get to her summer job as nurse at old folks home in Watchung mountains, N.J.. It wasn't her first cboice of vehicle but she kept failing her drivingl license test and no one would assist her. Think guys at dealership " helped" her get h😮er permit so she was semi legal. Ste 0:00 p thru worked well with white mid- calf dress of uniform and went well with the black with white pokadot skarf that she tied her wide brim pith helmet on with

There is a youtube channel called C90 adventures, that guy has been all around the world on his, always fun and worth a watch, I think Honda should sponsor him, as for the cub 90's I had two in my time in London, the most fun rides ever to be had.

I feel sorry for the engineers and designers involved. There's obviously a vast amount of work goes into producing any motorcycle from scratch but knowing that these cost $80,000 in the US (in 2024) I'd have to laugh at anybody owning one. It looks, and no doubt performs, like a no-name Chinese motorcycle. In (2024) US advertising, it is said that the engine, "...churns out 102 horsepower and 64 pound-feet. Yes, that's not a lot, but the peak output is somewhat comparable to American 1,000cc engines like we see on the Indian Scout Sixty and Harley Davidson Nightster." Thanks for reminding us that similar performance can be had for little more than 25% of the price of a Brough!

"Within five years they will be in six figures". Hmm, it's five years now since this video went up, and your CBXs are on the market at £30K-£36K. Most are in the £12k to £20k range. Buy them to enjoy, not for investment.

You said the engine has never seen petrol when you got it.... I'm telling you that head was black it seen Gas before.... Maybe the rest of the motor didn't but that head Something else..... I love this bike I saw you do a video of it the same video I'm watching A couple of years ago I think it was And I tried to buy a motor like that from a guy in England Told me he wouldn't send it to the United States My paid shipping I guess he hasn't problem with people from the US He was real rude about it and told me he'd rather throw it in the garbage and send it to the states... But I was going to build 1 like that after I saw yours But I can't find a motor now That was the only 1 available the guy was a real prick About the whole thing

I RELUCTANTLY SOLD MY 1970 (MANUFACTURED 12/69) HONDA CB750 K0 MOTORCYCLE WITH 45,191 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, Vin #: CB7501016269, ENGINE #: CB750E-1016228 FOR US$ 11,000 TO A CUSTOMER IN DENMARK MORE THAN 20-YEARS AGO. THIS AMAZING MOTORCYCLE CHANGED THE PATH OF MY LIFE, AND OWNED ME FOR MORE THAN 35 WONDERFUL YEARS! IT WAS PURCHASED IT IN THE SUMMER OF 1972 WITH LESS THAN 4,000 MILES ON IT FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR $935.00 (PLUS "USE TAX" AND "TRANSFER FEES", THOSE STATE BASTARDS!). BECAUSE OF A DESIRE TO PRECISELY MAINTAIN THIS MOTORCYCLE, I WENT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER (KOLBE HONDA) AND ORDERED THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL. I LOOKED AT THE REQUIRED TOOL LIST AND SAW THIS "VACUUM CARBURETOR SYNCHRONIZER" AND WENT TO THE KOLBE PARTS MANAGER WHO TOLD ME THE PRICE WAS $387.00! SINCE THIS WAS MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF WHAT I PAID FOR THE ENTIRE BIKE, I RODE TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND PURCHASED FOUR VACUUM GAUGES, 3/16" RUBBER VACUUM LINE, "BUNDY" BRAKE LINE TUBING, AND FOUR METRIC SCREWS THAT MATCHED THE PORTS ON THE CARBURETORS. LOOKING AT THE SMALL PHOTO IN THE MANUAL OF THE SYNCHRONIZER, I REALIZED I NEEDED TO PURCHASE FOUR "NEEDLE VALVES" AT THE AQUARIUM STORE TO DAMPEN THE INTAKE PULSATIONS. I BUILT A COPPER MANIFOLD AND ATTACHED THE FOUR DISASSEMBLED GAUGES TO A VACUUM PUMP (AN OLD REFRIGERATOR COMPRESSOR) AND LEARNED TO CALIBRATE THE GAUGES SO THAT THEY ALL TRACKED EACH OTHER, THEY DIDN'T COME THAT WAY FROM THE FACTORY! I CUT THE BUNDY TUBING INTO LENGTHS, AND BRAZED IT TO THE METRIC SCREWS THAT I HAD DRILLED AND ADDED RUBBER O-RINGS. AFTER COMPLETING AND TESTING THE PROTOTYPE, I WENT BACK TO THE PARTS MANAGER AND SHOWED IT TO HIM AND HE SAID HOW MUCH FOR A QUANTITY OF TEN? AFTER NEGOTIATING A PRICE WITH HIM, ON MAY-15-1972 (MY 20TH BIRTHDAY) I FORMED MY FIRST COMPANY, THE "FOUR DESIGNS COMPANY" TO MANUFACTURE MY FIRST COMMERCIAL PRODUCT: THE "VACU-TUNE" CARBURETOR SYNCHRONIZATION GAUGE SET FOR HONDA FOUR MOTORCYCLES (I SOLD MORE THAN 3,000 OF THE GAUGE SETS). I SOLD THE COMPANY TO MY JR. HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND AND IT IS STILL IN BUSINESS, NOW RE-MANUFACTURING ELECTRONIC TEST AND MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENTS, SEE: WWW.FOURDESIGNS.COM). I KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE ORIGINAL PRODUCTION RUN OF THESE MOTORCYCLES WITH THE "SAND-CAST" MAIN ENGINE CASES, BUT AESTHETICALLY, I ALWAYS PREFERRED THE FINISHED LOOK OF THE PAINTED DIE-CAST CASES. I DEFINITELY PREFER THE LOOK OF THE K0 MODEL WITH IT'S MATCHING PAINTED SIDE COVERS, AIR-BOX, AND HEADLIGHT BUCKET. THE K1 MODEL JUST DIDN'T HAVE THAT UNIQUE LOOK THAT THIS ORIGINAL MOTORCYCLE IS FAMOUS FOR.

One of the first Laws of Friction states that : FRICTION IS INDEPENDENT OF AREA. And therefore whether you have four six or eight discs on the front wheel, it matters not, one disc and a decent caliper is sufficient, the rest is bullshit, and just like the emperor's clothes, idiots like you cannot see the ridiculous overcomplexity of a front brake such as the Brough has been burdened with.
