That's a nice little Honda. Looks to be in very good condition for a 78. How many miles and how much did you snag it for??

£350
Fires up first kick but when warmed up, it revs quite high.
Pull the choke out and push it back in again and it settles down.
It IS a little bike. Fits me like a thong!
Bought it as a do up and sell again bike.
Not expecting to make much / anything. Just bought it cause I liked it.
I'm hoping it might just need the carb cleaning and setting up

Cheers. It should look even better when it's finished.
Few small jobs to do over (hopefully) the next few weeks.

Mine was too!!!
Strictly speaking, it never got past being several boxes of bits!!! I gave up and bought a brand new Kawasaki KH 100 - looked exactly like this ...

The chain on your BA looks a little dry.
I really like the black out!

Dry?!! WTF? I know it's a good pic but tell me how you can tell it's dry?
FYI, it is coated in Scottoiler lube. Not quite dripping but it's had a good seeing to.

Yeah cleaner.
I dunno, grubby as it was, I hardly noticed it taking very long at all to come up as good as new.
It's almost as if someone else did it ...
