The CB500 Four is in my top 5 of the most beautiful bikes of all time. This one is in perfect condition. I have never seen this colour before but it’s absolutely fantastic. Thank you for showing us this amazing motorbike. 😊
Please, let me tell a (not so) short story. Back in 1977 my father bought one metallic brown 1972 CB500 in perfect conditions. Even thoug he previously used to ride a golden CB350 the 500 that replaced it was the bike that introduced me to motorcycling. I'll explain, I never rode that 350 because I was little more than a baby when my father owned it, but in 1977 I was four years old despite still could not reach the passagenger foot pegs because I was too short my father put me sat on the bike. How he did it? He used to put me astride the gas/petrol tank and I would hold his forearms while he took me for very slow rides (bike in first gear) up and down on Saturday afternoons (almost zero traffic back then) on the street where we used to live. Bear in mind it was the late '70ies so everything was more relaxed (and even a little rebellious) regarding motorcycling safety and of course, in that context on those short rides that took no more than 10 minutes each, neither he or me wore helmets or other riding gear whatsoever. It seems now like a whole other era... Anyway, I can fondly recall the sensation of being sat atop that wide (for my short legs) brown tank, holding to my father's hairy arms, feeling the heat coming up from the engine, hearing its gentle but low pitched tone that commanded respect coming out its four exhaust pipes and lastly, beholding in awe the gleaming warning lights on the haldlebar console and the needles moving over the elegant green background of the clocks. Being a small toddler when I was standing near that bike my head stood more or less on hight of the its seat, so one of the bike's features that mostly caught my attention were those magnifcent 4 chromed exhaust pipes which I thought (and still do) were very beautiful. Neverthless, when my father reved the motor I usually run away from the roar of it. 😂 Largely I became myself a motorcyclist because of those very first moments in touch with that might CB500 and my beloved father. Sorry if I wrote too much, I just wanted to share those sweet memories of yore with you and your audience. Happy new year to you and to those who like your channel. Peace and all the best from Brazil. 🛣 🏍 🍀✌
Thank you for sharing your irreplaceable experience with us. I was struck by a lightning. Even though I talked about my experience in this film, Even now, when I look at the indicator light on the CB500Four, memories come back to me just like you.

Thank you so much. The CB500Four has a lot of memories for me. So I was so happy when I met the owner and his beautiful CB500Four.
Every morning after breakfast, I enjoy the latest video from the "King of the 70s". Thank you. Also, this CB500Four looks better than new.
You have good taste Milo. I enjoy the King’s videos at night 😊

@@felipedourado5721 What a nice story! I must admit, the influence of motorbikes in my early years paved my way to become a motorcycle enthusiast.
先輩が全く同じカラーリングのCB乗っていたので懐かしいです😊
隅谷守男の名前を久しぶりに聞きました。2st全盛に入った中で不利な4stで無理を承知で頑張っていたのに、誰にも最後の瞬間を見られる事もなく、悲劇的な最後を迎えたのが本当に気の毒でした。
隅谷守男の名前を知っていただいてうれしいです、レースで不利な4スト市販車ベース・レーサーを巧みに操ったいぶし銀の天才ライダーでした、当時友だちと「俺が静かなる男だぜ!」と2人で騒いでいました、ブガッティ・サーキットで亡くなった時はほんとに悲しかったです。
このカラーのCB500Fourは自分の友だちも乗っていて、とてもライディングが上手くよくツーリングに行きました、その友人は今でも現役ライダーでよく会います。
隅谷守男さん。懐かしいですね。菱木さんと共に。毎周ほぼ同じラインで走っていたとか聞いた事があります。
2人で耐久レースのペアを組んでたのを覚えております、ベストのラインを機械のように正確にトレースされてたんですね、並居るハイパワー2ストレーサーに対抗するための究極のライディング技術で走られていたことに感銘を受けます。
日本人の体格にはこのくらいの大きさが良いですね。
ナナハンの迫力は魅力的ですがCB500Fourの日本人に合った車格と必要にして充分なパワーはベストバランスだと思います
当時は白バイにも採用されて威厳がありました。
500でも軽やかな2気筒みたいな音がしますね。これが750まで上がるとレスポンス、音がまた違ってきますね。
綺麗に維持されててビックリします🎉
現役当時はCB750Fourと同じくらい見掛けましたがここ20年くらいはほとんど見かけなくなりました、その中こんなキレイな状態でCB500Fourを維持されてるは凄いと思います。排気音はホンダの昭和空冷4気筒シリーズそのままの音です、吹かすとグォーンと吠えてアイドリングは4本出し特有のバラつく音ですね。
Great looking bike !
That's right. Also, the CB500Four is quiet and strong👍
Motor impian kita semua❤
Terima kasih!
