the nighthawk 450sc frame looks like a descendant of that one :) at least the way the motor mounts. the engine takes up a big chunk of the frame of that bike too. |

Thats the way Honda used to think, the engine was actually part of the frame and provivded the stability/rigidity the bike needed. Most of the 400's and 450's produced by Honda look similar to that, withmaybe an extra frame tube coming down 6-8 inches in front of the engine. That bike looks really good, almost perfect except for the colour.

What a great looking bike. I like those classic knee pads on the tank and the integrated speedo/headlight.

with all the throw-away speedos these older hondas seem to have, i'd hate to think about how much that thing would be to replace. |

yanno, that looks very similar to the 1966 yamaha big bear 250 i used to have. i mentioned it once in a thread here, about how i had the 300 cc motor for it that was supposed to be pretty fast.
