While it is a clean looking bike, I wouldn't toss coin like that for it. :D Take as much effort to return it to a day one item as a basket case. But for those into the mildly warmed scoots, there you go.

It's not my 'cup of tea'. It's someone elses interpreptation of a ride. Yep, for what it is, it's pricey..

A heck of a lot more raw material to work with there. $330 - wished I was nearer to him.

I am drumming through it. I am just close enough that I might be able to justify the trip. The damn wrinkle tank alone is worth the score. You know me I would keep the obvious stuff sandcast and sell that damn wrinkle tank which is worth the $300 it is at now.  ;)

cheapo - you can't let it go, man.

have you ever heard of this bike? it must be the very earliest die-cast model...geez, that alone must be worth something...

is "Honda" actually stamped into the tank?

It is almost religious, the way the sun glints off the rust of the early "die casts" - yes, I believe the early "die casts" also had the honda emblem stamped into the tank.

ho, ho, ha.

That cut guard is an easy fix. NOS they are worth around US $600. That one has to be worth $330 as is.
