So you want to stay on two wheels reliably and cheaply and can't find a CX500? Then the CB450 DX-K built by our Brazillian chums has got to be on your list.

Well done Gazza! You seem to have caught the mood of how we Brits view that bike - see the Brazilian pics (BIKEPICS) of them all loved and polished up and realise that they take them far more seriously over there.
<br/>MIne was bought recently as a cheap hack but I found it had a 6th gear fault - the seller reluctantly sent me to a mechanic mate of his who fixed it up quickly once he got the new cog from Brazil (via Fowlers, £124.06!) He paid fortunately.
<br/>So though I ride bigger and more expensive bikes usually this little one is worthy of a bit of spit and polish, will send pic soon once smartened up,
<br/>Cheers, Leo500
