What cake, where?
« on: March 21, 2008, 05:23:06 PM »
Just had to get in on the cake taking fun! ;D
Anyways, I was looking through the cycle trader and found this beauty for $2500

http://www.cycletrader.com/find/listing/1974-Honda-CB450-86229623

The thing is he says it's a CB 450 but it has 4 cylinders. AFAIK, there never was a CB 450 four. ???  This dude's ad makes it sound like he is a restoration specialist so I started doubting my knowledge of the smaller SOHC4s and decided to ask the experts. Is he right or is he an idiot? If he's an idiot I want to call him and act all dumb and have him tell me the history of the CB 450 four. ;D I know it's mean but it's snowing out and I'm bored.

No...you're right. He's an idiot. The bike doesn't look to bad I'll give him that.

The only thing I don't like about the look is the gap between the seat and the tank. Other than that it is nice looking. I'm going to call him tomorrow and have some fun. ;)
