Name That Tank!!!
« on: February 16, 2006, 07:14:06 PM »
Can anyone identify this gas tank, I picked it up from some poor cager (I assume) who labeled it as a 1974 CB650 on Ebay.

What is it, and who wants to buy it?

The seller's partly right- '79 CB650. ;D
As to the question- got any idea whether it'd fit an '81 Yamaha SR250? I could use a good cafe tank! :D

the tanks were all pretty much interchangeable until the dreadful slide into "integrated" body work started - the early attempts are not very attractive IMHO...

so, did you buy it because he said it was a 74?

No, I bought it because the I knew it wasnt a CB650, because I have a CB650 and it dont look like that.  I figured nobody searching for CB650 or 1974 would want it, so I got a really good deal on it.  It is for sale, make me an offer, no reasonable offer refused, plus shipping.

Honda didn't have a 1974 CB650. Looks like the 400 sport model of the late 1970s. (not to be confused with the CB400F)

I found out that that same design (with the integrated bodywork Mr Bouncy Boobies... er, Mr. Hondadadada... Um, dangit, can you turn that thing OFF? Talk about distracting! CBJunkie mentioned, referencing that gorgeous hangy-down tab off the tail of the tank) was on the early CB900s as well. Could be either or, I guess.
