I remember back in the day people saying that the Japanese bikes were fragile and would never last beyond a few years. Couldn't have been wronger. I love the classic Japanese machines from the seventies. Golden Era.

They make a unmistakable sound those old Honda twins.back in the 80s when they changed the English learner laws from 250 to 125cc, nobody wanted a 250 anymore.in London there was hundreds of them laying in front gardens,years went by and they sat unwanted.i used to go around the houses and knock the door wherever I found them.most people sold them or gave them to me,I don't think I ever payed more than £50.all makes and models, some needed a bit of work others just battery and petrol.if I had them now or could have kept them I'd be rich.i used to build chops,bobbers, scramblers or just ride as they were.good times,halcyon daze.

I had that model when I was in high school. Had a lot of fun on it. Unbeatable bikes they were all over the place back then.

My current main squeeze is a 73 CB350 the same color as this bike. Had 4500 miles on it when I got it. It is my daily mode of transportation at the moment. I am madly in love with it.

Who doesn't love a Honda!

What I love about these bikes is they're from a wide spectrum of sweet motorcycles.

I had a green one. This model looks much better than the earlier flat sided tank.

I've had a cl 175 back in 1978 it was a great machine. I want a CB 250 a 1971 or 1972 would be great.

Great bike. Own one (72). Bought it when I was 15yo. 53 now and still ride it regularly. Same color too! Fun bike.

I've got a 1970 with 3600 original miles almost as pristine as this. It's a beautiful bike!

Freakin love the little Honda 350 dam I would like to have it 😎👍🏻

Even Honda didn't expect these bikes to last this long...

Wow guys that bike is in lovely condition . Love your videos , god bless America from all the way from UK. 🤘🎸✌️

BROTHER KAPLAN SAID I'LL PUT IT UP WHEN I PUT IT UP I'LL DO WHAT I DO WHEN I DO... STRAIGHT PIMP RIGHT THERE 💪🏾💪🏾💯🤘🏾🤘🏾 THOSE WERE BADASS WILLIES

You inspired me to do my own rebuild! On a kx500! Keep up the good work

That is no joke!! I grew up on on a CB500T with my dad, then learned on it myself, not much different than this one. These bikes are awesome and whoever buys this will be getting a gem!!

What a bike,I remember my friend buying one in the 70s think it was a 250 though.great video guys🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This is the type and condition vintage Honda I would want to own.

Kick ass exhaust note off that 350, first time that bike ever wheelied! Jimmie cameo!

Bring back the music! Beautiful bike..I’ll pistol whip ‘em 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nice bike and sounds amazing!

You have really nice bikes! Congratulations!

Who would give this a thumb down and why? Keep up the good work.

What an awesome paint! A simple bike, reliable engine, super design... it's a Honda!

Love them chrome fenders.

Wat does a 1960 Panhead, 1974 RD 350, 1979 KZ 900, & any bike that said CR on it have in common?

Love you Senior ✌🏻..Kaplan Fans Association

The selenium rectifier is known to fail after all the years but that's cool it still works

What a beauty!

MY UNCLE HAD ONE OF THESE SITTING ON HIS MOM'S FARM MY GRANDMOTHER I PUT SOME MILES ON IT I WOULD LIKE 14 MAYBE I USED TO SNEAK IT OUT AS MUCH AS I COULD IT WAS THE FIRST STREET BIKE I EVER RODE... I TELL YOU WHAT SOMEBODY DESERVES TO BE RIDING THIS ONE FOR SURE 💪🏾💪🏾💯😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

You should replace the exhaust pipes with originals. The side covers are also faded and are easily found online NOS.

My God, perfection !

Have you ever heart about Polish Junak 500cc ? very similar

I knew a guy who ran a garage, just around the corner from my home, who owned a slightly later one of these in olive green {and later a CB500 Four}. I don't know if he's still alive. He married late in life and the woman in question took him to the cleaners, financially speaking. If he is still above ground, he likely has a bicycle now. Regards from Wales.

Not my cuppa tea but a lovely clean machine thanks buddy!. No shit them grips are original!! I remember those honda grips, if you didn't have gloves you got huge blisters.😊👊✊💨💨

Love it

i own a 1971 cb 175 4600 original miles :)

Beautiful and like Clockwork. No Ken the bike lol😁👍

Why am I yearning for a bike I've already owned 50 years ago? Ashamed to confess I'm riding an electric scooter these days. That said, some of my friends look like they'll be riding wheelcahirs soon, so I'm not complaining.

Morning sunshine

What pipes are these Kaplan????

Not to change the subject, but is your show going to be picked up by Discovery? I enjoyed the one episode.

Yep

"This bike hasn't been wheelied" ------- proceeds to wheelie up and down driveway. Ha. 😁

How much

Sucker sounds good boyo!

much better engine than the cb360 that replaced it

surprised that you can still find new points for these old bikes.

What kind of exhaust system is on that bike?

Omg you guys make me laugh. I'll pistol whip them. Jr "no no no"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I like the SLs better.

He keeps saying "the original grips". I assure you... those are NOT the original grips. The original grips had a rather large ridge on on the inside and outside of them, and they were flat throughout their length. The grips on this bike do not have that outer ridge, and have an arched profile in the middle.
