Can't wait to pick this baby up. 73 honda 450 been waiting on a bike like this for that price for 3 years. We've looked at it and it seems all it needs is a good carb cleaning...or at most a rebuild and a battery and I'm ready to go

great find!

i myself just picked up an 79 XL185 to restore

Cool!
Seems in very good shape and after a good clean up and some polish she'll even look better

my dad used to own a CB550 and now owns a Goldwing GL1000 K2 ('77) for more then 30 years now.
Honda bikes...yeah they'll last

Very cool, looking forward to hearing how the carb rebuild goes. I had to pull the carbs off my '75 GT380 six times before I got them right (but I have to admit, I did not have much experience with MC carbs previously).

That's a really sweet bike!
