I doubt this gets used for deliveries. It was well polished and took pride of place in the main counter area

On my recent trip to Shikoku, I stopped at Kojima for lunch before crossing the Seto Ohashi Bridge. The proprietor of a local restaurant asked me to take some photos of his Honda motorbike while I was waiting for him to make lunch. He told me this was one of the first model bikes that Honda had made when the company first got started.

I think Honda first marketed machines under the Benly name and Honda as a sub brand?

Have you ever owned or ridden a Honda motorbike?

    Those old models looked better than today's. Pure pride for the owner.

    Totally agree that older style bikes had a sense of style lacking in modern designs. Same thing goes for cars really.

    Very very true indeed. Classic styles!

    This looks like a CB750 . . . I had a CB500, a CB1100 and I still have a CB900 that is parked in a garage . . . the 900 will eat most any machine on the road today . . .
