PETER ROWLAND’S HONDA CB450 STREET TRACKER

Post by Skub »

I'll readily admit to not being Honda's biggest fan,but I quite like the simplicity and clean lines. Lots of custom made parts go into making this look easily achieved.

I sometimes fancy something like a flat tracker, but all bikes must be 100% original over here.

That's nicely unfussy. But those pod filters grate. A discreet airbox would have been better for looks and fuelling.

Not bad... ducktail bodywork looks like it's modelled on the CB250RS...

I know it's the standard frame, but it's a bit low rent, there's no down tube behind the engine, only the seat support. Must be a bit bendy?

I like the way it looks.

They didn't have a reputation for being good handling.

Bit hard to see but I think the original had a single tube running almost vertically up between the carbs.
