did a 'dumb & dummer' ride ( two up) from Newport to San Diego on the I-5/405 (and even made it back/round trip) circa late 70's on one of these as a teen, this vid brings it all back !!, full throttle nearly always to get over the carb flat spots..... Good times.. :)) rode that bike all over from the beaches to Lake Arrowhead ... Cool post .
This really makes me want to restore this old Cb160 I have just sitting in my back yard that I got from a junk removal job. Looks like it would make a good learner bike.
The patina on that tank is just out of this world my guy
Thanks my dude!
You really know how to ride a Honda! I have a CD125T and I always rev the shit out of it..
I appreciate it!! That is a cool like you have!
I put 10,000 miles on my 1967. My first bike. Had the cylinders bored 3mm for 182 cc and installed performance cam. Had every countershaft sprocket from 12 to 17 teeth. Lots of fun on it. Mid 17s 70mph at drag strip. Many great adventures on and offroad with that bike 50 years ago.
That is awesome! Thank you!
I’ve got a 69’ cb160 that I’ve owned for the last 30 years but it’s been parked for the last 25 years. Just got it fired up again a week ago. After I set the points and timing and cleaned carbs it runs better now than I think it ever did. Not sure about the top end speed cause I haven’t driven it out on any highways yet. Good to hear it run again. Maybe I’ll strip it down and repaint it this winter. Oh by the way, cool video!
Vintage Hondas twins sound so good.
Love the bike, patina is amazing! Sure revved er' out! I hope you continue to upload ride videos like this.
Awesome!!
Nice little bike! :)
Thank you!
This is a wicked video dude. You straight shredded on that old bike. I just picked up a 1967 cb160 cafe racer. Its been sitting a few years and needs cleaned out. Came to watch videos of how well it should be running.. I cant wait to get it dialed in like yours.. Do you do your own carb work, or have you had it tuned and synchronized by a pro?
Thank you very much! And congrats on getting your '67 cb160! They are amazing bikes! To answer your question: This bike specifically was tuned by Bill "MrHonda" Silver. He specializes in these era Hondas and he happens to be local. He got it purring like it's 1965 again! Let me know how it goes!!
It's just too bad Honda didn't see fit to include a tachometer on the CB. It really needs one.
Yes, I agree. It should have had one!
What is the thing on the left side of the handlebars?
Hey, thanks for watching my videos! It's a Snark clip on Tuner (for tuning guitars). I found out that it picks up the vibration frequency of this bike quite well and I can actually see "what note" I rev up too. It's like a custom tachometer since this bike doesn't have one. I found that D# is the redline. :). You can see it working at 10:07.
@@dudewithaguitar77 Hell yea that is an amazing idea! I have the (pretty much) exact same bike, 1968 CB160, and gave up on the tachometer. Mind letting me know how you mounted it?
@@xaviernogueira Thank you! It just mounts with the stock mount from the tuner! haha! The newer model tuners might have a flatter taper of angle though that might not "hug" and grip the bars. When in doubt, gaffer tape!
@@xaviernogueira Let me know if you ever upload a video of your bike!
Let me know what you think! Thank you!
Thank you for watching and commenting. Take care!

My CB 160 could hit 55mph but only going down hill.
I think that’s about right for mine also! Haha!
Something wrong there - a CB160 should be able to do 75-80 per at least. Mine sure did.
@@caribman10 mph or kph ?
