BaT Honda 650

I think this sweet looking Honda will get a good price.  Last of the 8 valve engines and nice looking.

I did not know these were 8 valves... :thumb: 

Interesting bike, and I don't believe Honda made too many of these. :cool:  Only 4K miles...if sorted properly, and with NO RESERVE, this will make someone a nice bike in the end... :wink: :smiley:

Honda held over the old engine for the 650 for a year or so.  In 79 the 750 went to the 16 valve motor.  The 650 does have the comstar wheels and newer styling though.  I think it’s a great bike. I hope it brings a good price.

That brought back memories, JJ.I have owned the same exact bike, back in the late 70s. Lovely bikes, and easy to do valve adjustments and carb synch on.
