OK, got to say a few things. My first mc was a 1963 Honda Hawk (250cc) that was exactly the same as the Super Hawk, save for the bump in engine size. The Super version didn't come along until 1964. I also owned a CB 450, but those were NEVER called 'black bombers' - they were called Condors. I drove that bike for about 15 - 20kk miles but scored a piston on a long trip. Honed the cylinders, put in new rings and traded it in for a BSA Lightning - WORST in reliability bike I've ever owned! (Should have bought another Japanese bike!) Also owned a Yamaha SR500 and loved it! Super maneuverable on the street in traffic and great on trails as well.

Proud owner of YAMAHA RD350
Mine was a CB250N.about 1980.After that l had a Honda FT 500.Also a Yamaha 750.
Die CB500 war etwas zierlicher wie die CB750. Die Zylinder waren senkrecht und nicht nach vorne geneigt. Das Teil sah einfach nur geil aus.
