New from Italy
« on: March 29, 2016, 05:37:03 AM »
Hi everyone!!
In Davide, from Italy and I own a Honda cm400 cafe racer...
This weekend I went to see a motorbike and she still my hearth..
So I decide to buy it..for the same price of a smartphone...a good shot of luck...

Someone can spend few wards about the 1981's Honda cb650?

I heard it's kind of like..Honda stepchild..why?
Picture below

nothing vrong vith the 650..."but"..stylish is the last model 750 and the 650 is more modern. and have many good"s,, like engine performance  brakes and a bit stronger hp..and got comsatars alu hveels.and dont look so vintage as the erlyer bikes...
650 have some small problems like elektric ignision(impuls coil) and stator/generator like to die..but its not worse then other bikes,,even the erlyer Hondas..old bikes have often small problems
i kan not speak english/but trying!!

Ciao Davide,

Benvenuto! Dove in Italia sei? Io sono italiano.....gli italiani sono i migliori. :)

Che cosa desiderate conoscere circa quelle motociclette? Si tratta di una buona piattaforma per una Cafe Racer.

Piu presto,

Ciao Gennaro!!
La bianca è già una cafè racer, mentre la cb650 voglio che rimanga originale per poter mantenere nel tempo il suo valore..incredibile per me come le sue linee siano estemporanee =) io scrivo da Torino, ma vengo dalla provincia di Lecce, in Puglia

Thanks to everyone!!
In Italy it's become impossible to buy an old bike because you have some fiscal advantage to own one in terms of taxes and insurance..

Bike like a ab750 well mangrove cost around 4.000€ even more...

They become inaccessible for most of all..so I feel very lucky to had find acb like that for 800€

I know the guy before me fix the stator because she don't want to go on ignition...i hope to change the oil, sell my cafe racer and keep this bike for a long time..

It's cost in Italy it's value 2.800€ .... So...I save 2.000€ =)

Mia madre è da Benevento, non troppo lontano dalla Calabria. Ero lì diversi anni fa per una riunione di famiglia, è stato meraviglioso, ottimo cibo e il vino !!

Ma che un piccolo mondo e. Ho visitato per l'ultima volta a Roma, Puglia e la Sicilia nel 2011.

Attualmente sto cercando di ottenere la mia nonna a visitare qui. Le cose che qui in America non sono terribili se non ti dispiace pagare le tasse!
