1971 Honda CB450

[@sjokomelk]

My father bought one of these for me when I was 7 in 1989. It was a 1972 that we were supposed to restore/rebuild together. We never got around to do that before he passed away. I still have the bike, and seeing this video make me thinking I should get the bike fixed and back on the road again.

[@Browmandude]

You should def. do that :)

[@ClubSodaSkids]

Do it!

[@kanemeasham-pywell92]

Do it

[@Blake-qi3lo]

Making a video about the bike when its ready, would be a good idea too! :D

[@jaredeberle7117]

Ya i think you should, i just got mine running amd took it for a spin tonight it was awsome😊😊😊

[@og-greenmachine8623]

EXACTLY like mine. But mine is blue. Sat in my Nana’s garage all my life. I used to play on it as a kid. My uncle gave it to me. With gas prices, I’m getting it going. More videos I watch, more happy I get. I didn’t think much of it, As my other bike’s a Suzuki Hayabusa🦅 One dude said it would ride ok over DIRT! Now I’m more excited about this one.

[@davidrubaloff5725]

I had a CB 450 back in the day. My riding partner had the Honda 500 4 cylinder. Many great adventures going to the Rock Store on Mulholland and cruising the San Fernando Valley.

[@stancoleshill8925]

Had three of these, a 1968 CB, a 1970 and a 1971 CL 450 with up swept pipes. Great bikes. These bikes would do 70 mph in second gear.

[@ayndyrand589]

A very nice motocycle. Its engine design was unusual - torsion bar valve springs. This design allowed for rapid excelleration, and great spring strength for reliablity. Kawasaki took this design and doubled it- making the Kawaski 900 the faster production bike of the time. A truely remarkasble engine.

[@michaelfigert4030]

Thankyou for such interesting and historic facts.

[@Kman.]

Flashback! lol Yeah...I had the brown colored one. I bought mine new...saved all my money at the time...walked to the d'ship and bought the most bike I could get for what I had in my pocket, and rode off with the *_450_* !

[@MarcoMartinez-ck9vq]

That sound Brought back a bunch of memories from my teenage years. Nice bike sr. Enjoy it while you can, right!!

[@donalddday7741]

my first bike was 1973 450cl nice bike rode skyline blvd handled ok went all over on the freeways at speed limits

[@felineth56]

Awesome sound! I'd like to have one like that!

[@stephenlacher587]

Nice find. Never were too many of those. The 750 sort of stole it's thunder. I had a '70 CB750 which I painted that color. Believe it or not, that green is a combination of candy gold painted over a base of a really pretty blue with a silver flake. Together creates a green with a bit of a gold flake.

[@viggoevensen9583]

Can`t remember disc brakes in the 70s?

[@Hithere-ek4qt]

I had a blue one. Wanted green but the dealer could not get one. Nice bike and I eventually traded up to a BMW 75/5, an even better ride.

[@NCC-1700]

Cherry, I had a 72 Garnett Brown back in 1980.

[@FrankBonessa]

Candy garnet brown. wonderful color.

[@crankybear1236]

I did not think a twin could sound like that!

[@hkk3656]

This Honda 450 could outrun a Triumph 650 in the quarter mile. Also, it didn't leave a puddle of oil underneath it. Japan was now making better motorcycles.

[@frankcherry3810]

O didn’t remember the 450 having disc brake

[@johnthonig1692]

Me neither I owned two 71 cl450s

[@richardcasey7521]

Very nice bike!

[@wes326]

Would like to have the scrambler version.

[@mrabrasive51]

I'd know that sound anywhere..had a blue one..custom seat and Jardine header!

[@felineth56]

Sounds like a Norton! Awesome!

[@gambinegambini3081]

Gostei da máquina, aqui no Brasil não se encontra CB 450 ano 1971. Me parece que a primeira foi na década de 80...Parabéns pela moto.

[@cowboybebob007]

I have the same bike But not nearly the condition you have it , Very nice !!

[@philzail2532]

Built with tortion bar valve springs and vacuum carbs.

[@jamesdarnell8568]

Even without evidence of dry rot, nobody should risk their life on tires over ten years old. I refuse to ride on tires over five years old. Check the date code stamped in the sidewall of each tire. Put a set of nice new soft Michelin Road 5 tires on her and you will be amazed at how much better she handles.

[@geoffg46]

Was just thinking that, old hard rubber on a wet road, ...

[@michaelfigert4030]

Nice ride

[@saucytoon3452]

Beautiful

[@ajaydev4931]

These 70s machines are really great. I'd like to have one of these, but don't know were to find it, because I'm in india.

[@sa5315]

We don't have these bikes here in India classic bikes ke naam pe sirf royal Enfield or jawa hi dikhti he

[@rollthelosingdice]

These things are getting rare.

[@crankyinvestor]

update a little, and it would be the best bike on the road now

[@EZ4U2Say11]

Mines better because I still own her 1971 cl450 still runs great ruby red Honda #ruby

[@WRSPRO]

Звук доволі крутий, успіхів тобі, мужик))

[@pittsburghguy404]

I just got this color

[@terrycummings7239]

Do you still have this one or similar one?

[@TriguyT110]

I have a green '73 CB450 with 7K miles that I am getting ready for sale right now. Call me at [phone] if interested.

[@richard9444]

Nice bike all original

[@BrokenSmokinSpokes]

This bike is definitely long gone from the guys in the video...buuut just saying. Even if those pipes are solid on the outside, they sound like they have absolutely no baffles left in the inside...haha

[@clembuck6006]

Is it for sale..?

[@TriguyT110]

Thank you for your interest but we no longer have this bike. This video was used in an eBay listing.

[@dennisschell5543]

Nice! 😎

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Are You selling Her?

[@Roger_Ramjet]

Loud as fuck

[@dalehumphrey2477]

Crappy bike...bad vibration and poor handling.

[@michaelfigert4030]

🤔

[@JoepKortekaas-l4q]

You obviously don't know what you're talking about!
