Beautiful, and the bike most often accused of killing the British motorcycle industry (though many will black the CB750, the CB450 was when Honda leaped ahead).

That's pretty!

edit - It looks like a bit of a rack though. Do you ride it?

Sorry - meant the riding position looks uncomfortable. Legs back, lots of weight on arms if you're not at speed.

That’s sweet.I love the Silver frame and Donald Pender front brake. I’m currently building an 850 MK2a as a gift for my brother. It’s amazing how easy it is to get parts for those old bikes.
