CB650 Custom from Holland
« on: August 22, 2024, 12:00:25 PM »
Hey,  I recently bought a Honda CB650 Custom, its an '81 model but the title says '86, I think its a late import from Japan.
The overall state is great for a bike that old and in the coming weeks / months I try to get her running.

The gas tank was empty but for some rock hard yellow chunks that im trying to get out, so i fear for how the carberators look like.

My first bike was a CB550Four and had a CB750 and a CBX 1000 one day, even had a 1200 Goldwing for a short while and some BMW's. And now this CB650, keeps me busy.
I try to upload some pics.
