I will dig this topic to share some great photos that i found surfing on the web... Hope you enjoyy....
Oh, the humanity! By the way, years ago I never saw Honda VT 500's on the street much and they were not produced for long, but they have been prominent at every MC salvage yard I have been at. Yamaha XS 650's, too, but I saw tons of those on the road and they were made for lots of years. :eek1

OK so I have 2 running B50's, I have a roller I plan on fixing up. And I have 3 more frames set aside. Still I just can't phathom this post by a UK member of B50.org how he's chopping them for scrap. This is like taking a young dog to the pound to be put down:eek1 The rarest little bike that handles so good, but hardly anyone knows about. I can see a honda 350...they made a million, but these...they only made ...what was it 3 or 5 thousand.
Honestly I think some people do it for shock value. There was a guy along time ago who took a rare Barndoor VW transporter and cut it to peices and posted a video of himself doing it to boot.. Shame theres people out there with to much money and not enough brains or respect.
