1969 Honda CB

CB4501020887

Clear

I have a CB450 Black Bomber with the very rare Scrambler exhaust up for bid . This bike kicks over with great compression . The previous owner told me that her late husband had the bike running aprox. 2 years ago . The gas tank is clean and has been sealed . The rare exhaust has no holes that I have found but does have pitting and some surface rust on the chrome . The seat looks to have been cut down but the pan is in good shape , it actually looks nice and has no tears and looks retro. It has the wrong left hand handle bar switch and is missing the air boxes and side covers , The VIN shows the bike to be a 1966 but the title says its a 1969 . Honda was terrible about having left over new bikes and giving you a title for the year it was sold . They now have to have the Mfg. dates on the bike. Makes Sense !!! This bike could have been one of the rare Scrambler conversions they had back in 1966 , i'm not sure about that,but I know the exhaust is from the Scrambler conversion . It also has alum. rims,but has the original front and rear hubs and brakes !! What's up with that ? It would make a great bike restored but the wife says I have too many project bikes and this one has to go . I have had many newer 450 Hondas but never one this cool ! My loss your gain . I WILL NOT SHIP THIS BIKE , but will assist the shipper . Please email if you have any more questions .On Oct-23-13 at 09:37:49 PDT, seller added the following information: The VIN # on the motor is CB450E-1018697 It has an Indiana title.On Oct-25-13 at 07:12:56 PDT, seller added the following information: According to the engine # , it has a 4 speed transmission , that indicates the motor is original to the bike showing that the bike was Mfg. in 1965 or 1966.
