Vintage Honda ads and other vintage 750 products
« on: December 10, 2015, 07:31:05 PM »
So  I have this stack of old Cycle and Cycle Guide magazines from ~1970-72 that I picked up at the thrift store.
The best part are the ads!  ;D    This is just a few.
(The Forking by Frank ad is from 1972 and they still have that same photo on their web site today!!    :o )

Steve, I have the 1978 Action 4's catalog {i've probably already told you this}, it says that , "at this time we have discontinued making the pipes and have sold all the tooling and designs", I wonder who they sold it too...?
