At a bike night at a St. Paul shop tonight on a beautiful Fall evening. Beer, rock band, and vintage bikes. What else is needed?
Spied this beauty on one of the racks in the Service area.
1979 Honda CB750F

Another on the curb - 1983 Honda CB1100F

A friend of mine had a '79 CB750F. The F stood for FAST.
It would smoke my '78 XS 750E. Not even in the same league. :-(
Very nice!
I love the vintage Honda stuff! :good2:
Earlier this month, while introducing my 5yr old to "Old Bike Night" at GB's Fish-N-Chips here in Denver................

I saw two of the nicest looking CBX's I have ever seen!

I believe the red one is a 1979.............It sounded "Bitchin" with the Kerker exhaust!

And the Grey one was a 1981...............

This 1989 Transalp 600 also showed up............Don't see these around much........

Yes, those CBXs look sweet. There's a couple guys in a vintage japanese motorcycle club that I belong to, own some nice ones. Those bikes sound wicked when the throttle is wicked up on them.
The Transalp, particularly the condition of the one you've shown are a rarity on the streets.
Nice getting your son out and about with the bikes. Never too early, huh? :good2:
I still got mine

(http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss86/linny999_2009/VF1000R/Picture040.jpg)
though I recently sold this one
(http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss86/linny999_2009/VF500F/DSC03089_zps032a0f0a.jpg)
but I still got this one (http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss86/linny999_2009/1988%20GSXR11/Picture175.jpg)
and this one too...
(http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss86/linny999_2009/FZR1000/Picture241.jpg)
And I'm selling this (http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss86/linny999_2009/R90-6/DSC05108_zps40e31e83.jpg)
That VF1000R is sweet.
I had a '97 VFR750F for years. Loved it, sold it, regret selling it.
I still got mine
Sir D,
With such an amazing string of ponies I wonder if you have a Norton rotary in the corral.

Looking for one of these... want to sell it?

I remember an Aquarena parking lot race in Austin TX with a Ducati and a CBX dueling and swapping 1 - 2 on the same turn every lap. Jesus what a beautiful noise!! The 6 screaming like an F-1 car and the twin singing baritone like only a Ducati caN . Baby that is MOTORCYCLE!
