Honda CB500T. Under-rated classic or pointless porker? Watch this!

Honda's CB 450 was their first "big" bike that really took the fight to the Triumph and BSA 650s. The 305 had pretty much wiped the floor with the other makers a few years earlier.
The 450 came with double overhead cams, a twin leading shoe brake, electric start and a powerful, unburstable engine. It looked great, went well, sounded great and the Black Bomber soubriquet was gifted to the bike in no time.
The CB 750 and other multis took the limelight away from the model and it began a metamorphosis from sexy bad boy, to user-friendly middleweight across several years.
The 500T was the final step in that journey and the 450 died with a whimper instead of a bang. It deserved much better.
It still has that wild engine with the super howl, the same Honda build quality and this bike is a really sweet example of the model. It came in from my friend Bob Green in Ohio and although it has some odd period clothing, we'll put it back to standard and on the road for very little cost.
If you have or know of any 70s bikes that would make a good vlog, or that might be for sale please email me on [email protected] and I'll get back to you.
