Good Points

A good first bike/cheap/reliable/with a cleaning of the carbs mine started up after 19 years of storage. The honda cb450 has good acceleration (compared to most cars even somewhat sporty cars like mustangs can't compete with the beast)

Bad Points

bad handling (very weavy around bends)/ heavy for the size of engine/ mine only tops out at about 102mph which I suppose is respectful for a 30 year old 450

General Comments

A good first bike, good acceleration but bad handling.

Total Respect: +1
