teased by an abandoned bike
« Reply #25 on: June 27, 2011, 02:46:58 AM »
OK so I know you guys are dying to know just what type of bike was becoming a hedge, well tonight I got a text from my son telling me I probably wouldn't want it as it was some old Honda 400.
So I'm thinking twin cylinder thing I never thought much of, came out in the 90's and was quickly forgotten.
BUT NO IT'S A CB400 BUILT IN 1976!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
The only CB400 built in 1976 was the infamous and much loved 400f.....do i want it?
Hell yeah!
I don't care what condition it is in, I should be able to salvage something from it, aparently the woman who is the present "owner" or should that be "abandoner" left it where it lies when her husband died 4 years ago.
Now I just gotta wait for some more contact with her to see what an abandoned bike is worth?

"A prototype liquid cooled Kawasaki 750cc H2 triple was created in the late seventies in either Australia or New Zealand."

Maybe it is this bike........that would be cool

That wasn't liquid cooled mate, that was just some bloke pissing himself when it hit the power band...... :o

That map is a bit out of date Seaweb, now Christchurch is about 10 feet more east and 3 feet lower. ;D
