Muy Bueno

Excellent guide ! Many thanks man !

I nearly bought one in 1973. The CB450 was the first Honda with good handling as I recall. I was graduating from a C92 125cc Honda Benly twin but my dad said that if I bought it, I couldn't ride it until I replaced the drop handlebars with regular bars. That was too much engineering for me at the time. I ended up buying a new, CB350 twin from Hyde Motorcycles in Horsham, Sussex. It was emerald metalflake green, just like this 450. I had Hondas all my life except one Norton commando fastback and currently a BMW K1600GTL. I wish I had bought that CB450 though!

This was mu first bike ❤❤❤❤❤

Great bike, if they remanufactured it, it would be a big seller.

bit of an old video but - i have a 2024 model will this still be a good exhaust and relevant fitting instruction?

You keep getting overtaken by the entire gamut of bikes. Peace.

The tyranny is real!

I would love to see you make one on changing the spark plugs! Or anything deeper than the oil change. Very thorough tutorial! Thanks for making an excellent video.

Here in Pennsylvania, we have a route called 125 where there's plenty of guys that go whipping by on their crotch rockets. And yeah, slow and steady wins the race. So many of them end up laying off in the ditch, cringed off into a corn field upside down, waiting for an ambulance Some times they're picking them out of the trees and road signs. It got. to the point where it's like people are people are truly dumb.

THE MUSIC ENDS AT 1:32. i USED TO GET 45 MPH IN FIRST GEAR THEN 70 MPH IN SECOND GEAR. WITH MY 1968 cb450 ! I also had a 70 CB 450 and a 72 CL 450. It's too bad I didn't keep them all.

Nice 👍 thank you

What a stunning example! Also, that's some crazy cool music...man!

This was going to be my sophomore bike back in the seventies while I was riding met 305 scrambler around LA instead of studying for classes. Great bike. ( the 450, not the 305)

i had one identical, even the same year. worst bike i ever owned. rides like a truck, handles like a truck! if ya want a honda 500, buy the four cylinder. much better bike!

My 71 450 was my first bike… Extremely reliable I rode it from Rochester, New York to Sarasota Florida never missed a beat… However, the biggest disappointment was if you real tight, you could drag the peg mount mid corner and lift the rear wheel off the ground scared the hell out of yourself….

The best video made ever good job on all parts

Loved my cb450, but my Yam '77 650 even more!

the 450 cb/ cl engine required cam chain split to disassemble engine, only one ever?

A very well presented and informative video, well done and thank you

we have a cb450 that is now on its 3rd generation of riders my father shared his father's bike with my uncle thy gave it to me

great video, watched it 3 times! Nice weather to take a classic out and ride her.

had a 72 450cb bought new in 73. put 6000 miles on it the first year. in 74 I rode it from Detroit to Aspen Colorado and back scrambled it up and down Aspen Mountain every day for a week. Camped on top of the mountain. used the lift access trails, you could do that back then. It struggled at 11000 ft had to rev to 3500 get some power. it did it. Looked for mine shafts they were blown up. 80 mph there and back. was done with it after that. sold it to buddies who beat on it some more. great bike .

I had the exact same bike that I bought new back in 1973.

CB650 was my favorite bike.

I think maybe your crush washer install is the wrong way. Flat side of washer goes against the head of the bolt.

I had the same bike. Bought brand new in '73 and kept it thru college. Took it on a road trip w/girl friend from Memphis to Ft. Know to visit friend stationed thee. Cold rain all the way there. My hands were numb from vibration. Mine had different grips and mirrors on the bars not on grips. Still miss that bike. Handled great. It had hi speed shake over 95 mph.

Looks and Sounds that the driver are afraid to rev the engine above 7550-8000 rpm . CB 450 engine works a lot better if rewed to red sector of tacho . Had a K2 and recently bougth another . My CB 350 four is redlined at !0.000 rpm but 11000 rpm rpm it runs better . My guess is that driver is used to Low rpm US cars wich of a few reaches 7000 Rpm Most common fault on Honda Classic is due to bad lubrication on low revs !!!

motor honda yg cantik tapi buas 😍😍😍😍😍

jangan sampai anda jual motor ini !!

The music is so loud you can't hear the motor

Pushing 40+ HP ... all day.

I owned a 71 for 17 years, so many memories. Used to ride to high school on it. Had to sell with the divorce and it went to a collector. Had all the sales posters, manuals and dealer parts manuals. Would love to find another one.

Yo that intro is too much! 😂….. nd by that I mean I love it lol!

I have just agreed to buy a 1971 CB450 with 5600 miles on it that has not run in probably 35 years. The engine is not stuck. It’s all original.

Honda is not copy of Royal Enfield

5 years on and this is still providing value - very comprehensive and clear coverage of all the things I needed to know - cheers chap!

I had a brown one just like that one until it sucked ac ring on the piston I loved how it rode if rather have this than my 1500 Vulcan

That was fun. I had this bike (my second bike and same color) from 1976 to '78. Loved it but, as is so often the case, I thought I needed something bigger.

Well , be still my beating heart . I had one completely identical to yours and I loved it till the day I let my brother have it 5 years later and never with any trouble . It still looked like new , I did put another identical seat on it . I gave it to my brother and I got me a cb750 / 4 and I loved to , it was maroon and black . I live in Tennessee and it took my wife and I to the Smokies numerous times without any trouble . Now I have great memories and miss the good old days , thanks for the ride brother , loved it .

Good to see cousin of cb 350 highness from, India ?!

I’ve got the xsr900 2016 and I’m fucked if I’m spending like 1700$ for basically nada, l’d rather go for vodka, coke and teenwhores and have the same performance on my bike the next day🤌🏻😆

Good move I hate it when they destroy these machines

I love these 1973 bikes, as I was born in August of that year

I had a 1974 CB450K7 one of my favorite bikes, rode it all over the west. Just got my hands on a 1969 CB450K2 for free! Its all there but having to rewire it and reassemble it. Once I do I think I'm keeping it for nostalgia sake. And the fact they are a fantastic good motorcycle!

Ha, ha- I had a '78 Honda 450 But always remembered to at least Turn It On! Watch out for the damn traffic!

Great looking bike! I wanted one back in 1971, but as a high school kid working in a fast food restaurant I could only afford a CB350 after my trade in, a 1966 CL77 305 Scrambler. The dealer hardly gave me squat for that bike. Both were reliable, trouble free bikes, though.

Just LOVED your intro! Haha, great sound track too I might add

you do know supreme is a waste of money in these bikes?

Your 450 has more class than all the new harleys and crotch rockets out there. What a beautiful bike and 1973 was a better time to be alive as well.
