Very nice and I reckon if Honda made a bike similar to that now it would sell loads due to the upsurge in street trackers etc. Ducati have got in on the act with the new Scrambler.

We didn't get that style of bike over here,few smaller engined bikes were available if I recall.My mates 1969 CB 250 was fast compared to my Triumph350,but tyres were awfull in wet think they had a high content of nylon!! made by Yokohama(bridgestone still making bikes lol)

Top man....
Why should he? I'd get the pleasure just from gawping at it with my glasses crooked and my tongue out.

I just don't understand how anybody could have a beautiful bike and not use it. He has a mint GT750 kettle with over £8K spent on it which doesn't turn a wheel either, and a really nice TS250.
I couldn't leave them just sitting there, even if its only out a couple of days a year, bikes are for riding!!

To an extent.
Do you not think though that riding = damage? *
*Excluding rotten collector and silencers

a little yes, but then it can always be restored again, its only a lick of paint at the end of the day. You're never going to let it deteriorate too much.
For me thats where the fun lies, in riding them, and with the small bikes pushing them hard. Don't get me wrong, I love to just sit down and look at my cafe racer, and yes it will never see rain, but I could not resist taking it out. You only live once.

Nice to have a few different bikes in the shed,what bike you get out to ride depends on mood/ where you're going/weather/who you are going with etc.

Now that's what I call a beauty, it amazes me how 45 years later most new design look like s**it. Its like a lot of things peaked in the 1970's 1980's and 1990s both in quality and looks, and a lot has being going downhill since then.
