1966 Honda CB 450 Black Bomber

A beautifully restored Honda CB 450 with fantastic riding manners, excellent mechanicals, and vintage accuracy. Refurbished with Honda OEM or original parts as needed - spare parts included.

Later series CB450 carbs, and a modern regulator/rectifier have been installed, replacing the original selenium rectifier. A battery tender dongle is wired in for slow battery charging when stored. A great vintage bike ready for summer cruising.

In 76 I turned 16...my first vehicle was a CB450 Black Bomber... Exactly like this one.. Exactly.
She was a 4 speed but took her from Portland Oregon to Lewis County Washington every weekend on I-5...around 90 miles...Great bike..many good memories

Very nice and original. Dad's friend came to visit on his new CB450 and before he left he offered to take me for a ride around the block. I was 12 years old and that experience was the beginning of my affair with motorcycles. I'm 70 now and still riding. My current bike is a Kawasaki W800 but I still dream of owning a Black Bomber if I ever get a chance.

ah, no wonder triumph, bsa, norton et Al were having nightmares in the 60s.
I grew up with japanese bikes, all of them brilliant (a few exceptions tho'). although the last twenty years they seem to have morphed into manga comic bikes.
love that 450 !

The bike that prove Honda being a very serious competitor for the arrogant and ignorant German and English motorcycle manufacturers. What they believed to fall apart after a few hundred kilometers was a reasonable and durable construction for a striking price.

Is it best to use Electric or kick starter for cold start?

[Raymondlamirand]

"Cold start" ... BIG DEAL. If its warm enough to wear a t-shirt, its not cold. Grabbing a handful of exhaust doesnt prove anything. But nice bike.
