Looking for a Project Bike - CT (New England) area
« on: December 24, 2025, 09:22:57 AM »
I'm looking for a project 1970's Honda CB.

1978 Honda CB400T (1 or 2) Hawk
1975 Honda CB360t
Early 70's Honda CB750K
Early 70's Honda CB550four


I live in CT but I am willing to travel (around 200-250 miles) in the surrounding states (MA, RI, NH, VT, ME, NY).

I haven't had much luck getting a response from sellers on FB Marketplace. I've reached out to 6 sellers. Even with no price haggling, just "I'm interested - here's my availability to pick up..." I'm left on read.

If anyone knows of someone selling one of the above models for about $600 or less, please let me know.

Thank you!
