;)like that cbx engine...
Yes it is, A customer bought one of last years that came with fairing and saddle bags, its white and blue, Matt is turning it into a more manly look, customer has bucks. The bike is in good stock shape as it sits with fairly low miles, apparently he wants a different look.
thanks, Mark

Sorry for the blurry pic, lens on my phone camera is cracked.



First fill up after complete restore.  Still working the bugs out.  BTW, tank and covers are painted with primer, it will get a professional paint job this winter.  The last time this bike was registered and on the road was 1987.  I was a Junior in High School, now I have a daughter that's a Junior in High School.

Way to go grepper, got those bugs out and hope to see you in Stockbridge. 1987 was when mine got laid up for (only) 15 years, four kids and beaucoup work leaving no time for dad to ride.

72 CB350F in the Allegheny Range, NW Pennsylvania.
300+ miles from home for a 3-day moto trip with friends. 880 miles, lots of elevation, tons of curves, and very little traffic. She did great!

Last Saturday I took my 750 on M46 from Saginaw to Big Rapids for the night. Beat a torrential downpour by 5 minutes. This pic was taken in Breckenridge when it was still a beautiful day. I think the jet is a Lockheed F80.
