    Love the 80's bikes there was so much competition between the manufacturer's to be the fastest and come out with new innovations,

    the 'just needs a carb clean' quote really is an international thing hahaha. I bought a cm450 in Europe and I had to swap out both the engine and carborateurs to make it sort of run good

      Having owned a brand new one (well a year old and bought it for get this $1K) I can attest to THAT. Years later I would buy a middle-Ceptor and they were about even but very different obviously this bike has less torque.

      Had one in New Zealand best little touring bike ever. I used to do 600kms a day (375 miles) on some stretches and got off the bike as if I had just ridden down the road. Heaps of fun on the twisties. I had a Laser 4-1 tuned exhaust sounded awesome.

    Hey if anyone is in the auburn area of Northern California. DO NOT USE "Kyle Brothers racing"
    So they did trans work on my 450 dualsport.
    Left with an oil leak.
    They said to keep topping it up every few rides.
    Took 1 ride. Made sure new oil and at the full line. Pulled into where I was going noticing a ticking.
    Timing chain fucked off and lifted the head.
    "We didn't touch your engine. Only transmission"
    Ya and apparently they didnt fucking tighten OR THREADLOCK FUCKING ANYTHING!!! I WAS ABLE TO UNDO HALF THE BOLTS IN THE PARKING LOT WITH MY FINGERS!!!!!!!
