The black one is a 1100 sport
I know the white one is the Desert Sled......what’s the Black one?

Have you tried a Monster if your looking for a low seat?

I Looked at the 821 Monster waiting for a demo to come in looking for something a bit more sedate I think

Another cellar built special from way back.
I named it a Wotsheon and it won a prize in the IOM that year.

I had to shorten the swinging arm the second year.
A long frame and a long Suzuki swing arm made it a bit of a barge.

Notice the dark hair and the porn star 'tash

Here's mine, track use only obviously but it does get me out on some great circuits with the Classic Racing Motorcycle Club. Hope you like the self done paintjob.

Video quality not to good but this always had my friend in hysterics, strangely enough I didn't find it very amusing at the time but have giggled a few times since.

picture below shows the same bird a few minutes ago, shed just isn't big enough anymore:rolleyes:

The twisted twin, aka the plastic maggot!

I can understand the origin of the former nickname but not the latter.

I think the plastic maggot name was down to the plastic nacelle used to enclose the headlamp and speedo, etc....no manufactures had done this since the early 60’s and this was the late 70’s.

They originally ate cam chains too until Honda issued a recall.
 
Well after a few rides in the mountains I am starting to gel with this bike.
Not a patch on my 750 Guzzi for handling around the mountain bends but I didn’t expect it to be.
However it ‘ain’t bad.Not quite scraped the forward controls pegs yet but not far off!!
Happy days guys.

The original engine is on the floor underneath cam chain went couldn’t afford to rebuild at the time but found a newer engine from a wrecked one in a breakers yard.

I remember the joke at the time:


Knock knock

Who's there?

Honda CX 500



Wasn't particularly funny then either 🙂
