I'm always wonderung that this bike is already 51 years old. I imported it from the USA, a 1970 Honda CL 450 K3, 444 ccm, 43 PS, 175 km/h, very rare in Europe.

And this is my own bike, built 1967, which just received registration as historic motorcycle. During 1966/67 stocks of the CB450-K0 ("Black Bomber") were building up in US showrooms. To assist sales of the now fairly dull looking black only design Honda produced a special kit of parts for dealers to convert new bikes to this special "D"-model, the "D" stands for "Desert Scrambler". Consisting of tank, seat, mudguards, upswept exhausts and other parts to what later become a "CL"-scrambler style. This was the strongest 2-cylinder bike at that time with 444 ccm and 43 HP, DOHC, aircooled 4-stroke engine, 187 kg and 180 km/h. I imported the bike from Italy and only exchanged wear parts and the exhaust (which I bought in England), it has the original painting and chrome. About 30 exemplars exist worldwide. See 1st PiP for front view! The 2nd and 3rd PiP's show the same type in an English Honda museum. I cannot believe, that this bike is already 53 years old (edit 2020) ;-)

Ducati Scrambler Urban Enduro, a great bike to have fun - and my BMW F 800 GS is sold instead, purposes have changed ;-)
