1982 Honda CM450 Custom review from United States of America
"It will get you where you're going"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Had to replace a fuse holder and rebuild the front brake caliper.
General comments?
Just what I was looking for when I decided to get back on two wheels after 30 years.
Sporty, cheap to operate and fun to ride.
I was surprised at the parts availability for a bike this age.
