Topic: CB160

[CaféElite]

I will be picking up a cCB160 at the end of the month and I would like to find some quality sources of information on these bikes. Does anyone have any good recommendations on sites, blogs, books, manuals.. or any resource that could help me.

Hopefully I can end up w/ something in the lines of the attached pic.

You can head over to hondatwins.net

What are your plans for the bike? Vintage racebike? Street cafe racer?

Vicious cycle in Portland has go-fast parts for em (i've seen a 160 hit close to 90mph at PIR...) and I'm pretty sure they will ship.

Shop manual available for download here: http://hondatwins.com/resources.html

Great bike !
Here's what mine looked like in '65.
Bought it new from a hardware store in Stamford, Connecticut--$585

have you seen the motorcycle classics write up on cb160 racers?

if not i can scan it for you

[CaféElite]

OHH please do.. Thanks..

[heffay]

ok, you might go yoink these off of my photobucket before they decide to yank them down. 

welch, hope this doesn't piss you off to much!      it just means we LOVE your magazine!

i don't actually have a scanner so i jpeg'd 'em for ya... front cover plus two cb 160 articles back to back in the magazine.

right click on the pictures to "view image" then click the magnifying glass when you hover over the picture for proper size... they are quite large.

You the man, thanks!!

I will probably hit them up and get a back copy if available...

i get cycle world (which i have a very extensive collection with the help from dad),
robb report motorcycles,
and motorcycle classics...


the classics rag is by far my favorite.  somehow they even make little 160s look like winners!

My parents have a picture that looks almost identical to that one. A CB160 was Dad's first bike. Bought new in '65, too.   

I'd love to find one and fix it up as a gift or something for him.

Does anyone have a good source for finding these things? Basket case preferred. I’ve been scouring the web for three days now and cannot find a single one for sale other than the Jason Lee bike. I’m trying to get a cb160 club going here in Idaho but can’t find a single bike. Someone should start a forum just for them, or an online club with classifieds.

thats because you didn't right click on a picture then click view picture then click the magnifying glass which is your cursor when you hover over the picture... plain as day.  clear as mud, right?
