    I agree, it is a nice looking bike as is and is a prize in such fine stock condition. My dad had one of these in the early '70s and I have thought about picking one up myself from time to time. Can you tell me if it vibrates much? I did not think these had a counter balance shaft.

    Thanks for posting!

    they shake like a bitch. As bad as a 650 Triumph IMO. But there is something neat about them for sure.

    I'll second that - they're real shakers. Had one in the early 70s when the speed limit was something like 70 or 75 on the highway. Took a 250 mile trip at 55 mph because it shook so bad the faster I went. Fun bike otherwise.

    The style of the 450 is just perfect.

    Thanks for the compliments, but....

    Yeah, it shakes, if it was European it would have "lots of character" :D

    It is a cool little bike for running around town and a few back roads on a sunny day.

    That is a nice looking bike and it looks fairly unmolested.
    This one, my 350F, was smooth as glass. It also had a sweet power band. Honda was pretty good at building those small displacement 4's. This was my college commuter.

    In another thread I threatened to pull out and take pics of this 2 Smoker I have sitting in the garage that I was gonna steal the 4LS off, but later decided to leave it UN-Molested:evil

    I camped at Panhead City last Thursday. Very cool spot. Good grub and lots of beer.

    I took The Norton out of hibernation on my birthday to give her a go.
