Geez, I come back after a couple of days, only to find that fenders has deleted his last post? And I didn't even get to read his misguided waffle? Poop!
It was good to see you gone for a couple days.
I didn't delete any of my posts.
I also don't "tuck tail and leave" since I have a CB750 (that I restored faster than anyone else here).
So I recommend instead of being grumpy old men who don't know any better, that you get busy in the garage instead shooting down people's dreams.
Notice this thread has became a lose-lose for anyone supporting the CB450. There isn't any facts being presented anymore. I'm going to PM the mods to close it, because I'm sick of the childishness. It doesn't matter the evidence that I post, it gets shot down. I'll just warn everyone else that there's lots of ignorance on CB450s around this part of the interwebz.
The intention of this thread was to talk positively about CB450s. To present facts. To present experiences. It happened, sort-of, for a few pages, then it turned into a immature wiener battle with egotistical CB750 owners.
I'll simply take my twin interests elsewhere.
