I Saved 8 Motorcycles From The Scrapyard!

I bought 8 bikes and this is officially my biggest motorcycle purchase yet! I was not on the hunt for these but when a friend reaches out about a deal like this I had to jump. These bikes were going to go to scrap and had to be saved! If you are interested in purchasing the Bridgestones or CB77s please get in contact with me.
Bikes for Sale album on Facebook: media/set/?s...
When I listed the CB450s for sale I had a person interested in them for parts. He just happened to send me a photo of his bike and I noticed the 1974 CB450 behind it. I simply asked about it and we ended up working a trade so everyone was happy! This is part of the wheeling and dealing I do so let me know if you want to see more on this type of thing.

This was such a crazy turn of events for obtaining these bikes. I know there will be many comments about how you "can't find these where I live" but I would have to disagree. I am diligent on my bike hunting and am always networking which is why I found the deals on all of these. I don't even entertain messages from those wanting me to find them a specific bike because I can locate one within moments and they never jump on the deals. They are out there but it is up to you to act quickly. My van stays fueled up for when those deal presents themselves. While I would love to share every single detail with you there are some things I strategically leave out such as prices so just know I won't be disclosing that information.

[@Imarida2]

The cb450 has aftermarket headers. Oem have a bridge between them at fender level

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

@@Imarida2 I know the 500s did but do not believe all 450s do

[@gerardbodenheimer7522]

Thank you for saving these bikes from the crusher! 😍 It really hurts to see these historically valuable bikes to be demolished. I saved quite some cars from being crushed myself.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

It is my responsibility to keep these alive and I'm happy to do so!

[@calebcan8357]

I think the cb450 dohcs are the absolute best Hondas of the era! Coolest engine, simplest to work on, indestructible. Love the brown ones too, that and the green are the best colors aside from the early chrome panel versions

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Id love a green one but of all bikes these do look darn good in brown

[@paulgervasesmith152]

Well done BJ. More buying and selling would be fantastic. Keep it up.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Thank ya! Noted.

Ooof that last 450 is going to be nice. Chef’s Kiss

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Chefs kiss indeed! I am excited to revive that one

[@TallBiker]

I'm one of your newer subscribers over in the UK. Really enjoying your content, and great to see your attitude and enthusiasm towards saving old bikes 👍

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Well thank ya! I love these things and just feel greatly rewarded by saving them

[@terryturner681]

Wow these old HONDA'S brings back memories of my teen years, I had about 75 HONDA'S over my life about to turn 69 years old now.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Awesome!

[@MrBokertov]

Your love for bikes is genuine and really touching... Plus, by saving bikes from the crusher and restoring some other ones, you are an example for environmentally-oriented businesses, bro. Keep going and thumbs up to you! Let us know if you ever get your hands on a Triumph X75 Hurricane, that would be freaking awesome!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

These bikes have just brought me a lot of joy and a very unique life so I always try to save what I can. I have only just seen an x75 here in st louis at Donelson cycles. Its minty though!

[@speedybeef]

that 450 is lovely, definitely my pick of the bunch

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Absolutely!

Wow. What a haul! Loving the vintage CB77s!!! And of course the CB750s. I have a "project" CB750F (1975) that I hope to get running again sometime. Thanks for the video!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I love the F bikes. Been working a deal on one for 6 months now lol

[@tturner7786]

I love the buying and selling part. I hope you do more of that and maybe even show your process. That would be cool. You picked up some gems. Very cool man

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I can definitely try to show some

[@alistairshaw3206]

Great to see that you saved those bikes. We get many bikes imported from the USA to the UK. I have a Yamaha DT3 250, and a Honda CB360, imported from the USA. They both required full restoration, even although the Honda only had 4500 miles, with original tyres.

[@jimkoney4200]

Yes, I’d like to see more about negotiations.

[@deancoley7987]

Whatever you make in monetary terms, you definitely deserve great work

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Well I appreciate that

[@Aprilseahorse]

My problem do not find many bikes in my area that I can afford. Fixed income. But that leads me to looking at some tired, ruff one. I grew up with a father who loved old cars and would take me to some very old junkyards. He taught me to see the beauty in all of them. So now, even if it is totally impractical to fix one up, the longer I look at it, the more I love them. At some point, that time comes that I need to let it go if I can find someone who will help it, or part of it live on. It's not always easy.

[@rcnelson]

Heckuva job saving these bikes from the scrapper, especially the Honda CB 450.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

🤘🤘

[@genebierl2069]

The 77s were my first bikes ,would love to rebuild another, but on fixed income , most are out of my range

[@trinas7131]

The last bike , with a dark brown seat cover, would be siiiiick... :D

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

It would look good

[@mfc4591]

You got me drooling here ! Congratulations on the great haul.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Lol thank ya!

[@wandeproduction]

Talk of epic series in the making. This was a score! I'm looking forward to the series. Even if you did part some off still a win.

I am very excited to do more with the CB750s when the time comes.

[@wandeproduction]

So looking forward to it! Best wishes! @@BrickHouseBuilds

[@linzimumford3829]

Man, you found some gems there. Well done!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Definitely a few!

[@KymHammond]

Those 450's are a great little bike. Resto to a neat period patina and that should make some one a really nice first bike or for a collector a great addition.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Definitely!

[@victorhawkins3461]

Talk about a rush! My first bike was a Bridgestone 350. Got it used in 1970. Sucker would foul a plug in a heartbeat! But it got me around through high school. Had a CB750 cafe racer with Lester mags in 1976. Loved that bike, and, to this day, I wish I had it back. Thanks for dredging up some memories!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Glad it brought some good memories!

[@brettsexton7009]

Just wanted to say that, in my opinion, your videos are spot on. I enjoy your approach and personality!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Thank you!

Nice haul of bikes, BJ. Love the 450!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Thank ya! I'm pumped on the 450 acquisition!

[@jeffsayle7529]

I only found your channel earlier this year and I've been trying to catch up on the early stuff and work my way through in date order. However, when this came up on the YT home page, I had to see what you'd got. Always good to see old bikes being saved from the scrapyard, even if one is lost as needed as a donor bike. We do get quite a few ratty bikes in the UK imported from America and there is a lot of people saving them here as well, such as members of the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club. 2 of my 3 bikes are USA imports, a '79 DT175 Enduro and a '80 CB750 Custom. Keep up the good work. Your channel is both educational and enjoyable. Thanks a lot BJ.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Well thanks so much Jeff! Also thanks so much for that other gift that means a lot 🙏🙏

[@brianwells5258]

The Black Bomber is my favorite. You made a killer deal there!

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

The 450 is definitely the favorite for me too

[@douglastalbot8031]

The CB450 you got in trade is a sweet bike, parts for the Bridgestone's are unobtainium so good call selling them as trying to restore one would be very frustrating.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Yeah I feel it was the best move

[@peteraitken6494]

Nice haul there BJ I like the cb 450 Honda really nice bike and I get it whenever I buy something I just tell the wife it had my name all over it 😉 how could we not lol ,great content and nearly 100 k sub’s congratulations well deserved take care buddy and ride safe 👌👍🔧🔧🔧❤️🏁🏁

Bridgestones are so hard to get parts for... Those will help someone. Great save.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

Im hoping someone needs them for sure

[@jahmic]

Great saves! I had a 78 CB750F that i brought back to life years ago. You are right...networking pays off when it comes to finding deals. As much as I search for projects, things fall into your lap when people know what you can do.

[@BrickHouseBuilds]

I need an F bike at some point. I was hunting a Yellow one and couldn't get the deal done unfortunately

[@jahmic]

@@BrickHouseBuilds A yellow '76 is definitely the one to have! There's more overlap with the K models for that year too, so it makes finding parts easier. The carb intake boots for the 77-78 model were unobtanium - I had to get creative and reseal my set every couple years.

[@iamrichrocker]

almost 100K subs..did you ever imagine such a feat? well deserved, but many more to come..great content will do that..

Less than 100 to go! Should hit it late today! I have been chasing it since day 1!

Good job in saving these old beauties, it would've been a crime to scrap these bikes. CB77 is a little beaut. Lester wheels were sought after back in the day, a friend had a Z1B900 with Lester wheels, I was so jealous of that bike.
