Show us your Classic M/C

The convert, didn't that have a kind of high and low range box, or something like that? Please tell us how it works.

It has two speed box with a torque converter. The Guzzi has a clutch, I only use it to take the load off the starter motor, once fired up, you don't need to touch it.

It doesn't have a neutral. You can start it with the clutch engaged, just make sure the brake is covered. ;)

The two Hondas have two speed boxes too, no clutch but have a neutral to start the motor in. Again, a torque converter to complete the transmission.

You can set off in either gear on all three, I usually just stick them in top, job done. :thumb2

Looks barely big enough to be a twin, is it a twin port single? Looks like Honda engineering at its sweetest though

It's definitely a twin...Lovely little thing. I've always loved these little Hondas.

Nice K3 M.S.... More pics when it arrives please....:thumb2
 
Here it is, well spotted......

Ooooh, you little tinker, that's lovely. It's either unmolested or very sympathetically restored :)

Andres

It’s actually pretty much unmolested. By no means immaculate, but fairly good condition throughout. It needs a little bit of tinkering but nothing more .I will just ride it as it is and enjoy it like that.Its in a similar condition to the Guzzi,ie it has a nice patina....:D
 
Mark. That looks just lovely. Pictures rarely tell the whole story. How good is it?

It is, unusually these days, a UK supplied bike which was only used for a few years then stored. It was restored four years ago to excellent good condition. It isn’t concours standard. I would say and 8 or 9 out of 10.
 
Got the CB175 home









That's a nice bike; i like old Honda's of that sort of vintage; although produced in large numbers; they always held on to their quality. Spotted this last year at Chimay; i dont think we did the 125 like this over here; unles you know differently.

That looks to be an identical chassis to the 175. I don’t recall us getting those either. I suspect that one may originate from The States as it has the side reflectors.
