I Saved 8 Motorcycles From The Scrapyard!

- I bought 8 bikes and this is officially my biggest motorcycle purchase yet! I was not on the hunt for these but when a friend reaches out about a deal like this I had to jump. These bikes were going to go to scrap and had to be saved! If you are interested in purchasing the Bridgestones or CB77s please get in contact with me.
Bikes for Sale album on Facebook: media/set/?s...
When I listed the CB450s for sale I had a person interested in them for parts. He just happened to send me a photo of his bike and I noticed the 1974 CB450 behind it. I simply asked about it and we ended up working a trade so everyone was happy! This is part of the wheeling and dealing I do so let me know if you want to see more on this type of thing.

This was such a crazy turn of events for obtaining these bikes. I know there will be many comments about how you "can't find these where I live" but I would have to disagree. I am diligent on my bike hunting and am always networking which is why I found the deals on all of these. I don't even entertain messages from those wanting me to find them a specific bike because I can locate one within moments and they never jump on the deals. They are out there but it is up to you to act quickly. My van stays fueled up for when those deal presents themselves. While I would love to share every single detail with you there are some things I strategically leave out such as prices so just know I won't be disclosing that information.
The cb450 has aftermarket headers. Oem have a bridge between them at fender level
@@Imarida2 I know the 500s did but do not believe all 450s do
Thank you for saving these bikes from the crusher! 😍 It really hurts to see these historically valuable bikes to be demolished. I saved quite some cars from being crushed myself.
It is my responsibility to keep these alive and I'm happy to do so!
I think the cb450 dohcs are the absolute best Hondas of the era! Coolest engine, simplest to work on, indestructible. Love the brown ones too, that and the green are the best colors aside from the early chrome panel versions
Id love a green one but of all bikes these do look darn good in brown
Well done BJ. More buying and selling would be fantastic. Keep it up.
Thank ya! Noted.
I'm one of your newer subscribers over in the UK. Really enjoying your content, and great to see your attitude and enthusiasm towards saving old bikes 👍
Well thank ya! I love these things and just feel greatly rewarded by saving them
Your love for bikes is genuine and really touching... Plus, by saving bikes from the crusher and restoring some other ones, you are an example for environmentally-oriented businesses, bro. Keep going and thumbs up to you! Let us know if you ever get your hands on a Triumph X75 Hurricane, that would be freaking awesome!
These bikes have just brought me a lot of joy and a very unique life so I always try to save what I can. I have only just seen an x75 here in st louis at Donelson cycles. Its minty though!
Ooof that last 450 is going to be nice. Chef’s Kiss
Chefs kiss indeed! I am excited to revive that one
If there was ever a face of a man who loved his life, was in a great place and was enjoying what he was doing, it was your face at the end of this video, man!
Excellent haul of bikes! I love everything about you and your channel! Keep it up! 🍻🤘💜
Well Im glad that came through! Thank you again Andy!
My first vintage Honda was a cb77! Wonderful find and haul! There is always “one more” bike to save out there : ). Great job 👏
🤘
Congrats on the haul and the new 'compliment' to your fleet.
Thank ya!
Wow these old HONDA'S brings back memories of my teen years, I had about 75 HONDA'S over my life about to turn 69 years old now.
Awesome!
that 450 is lovely, definitely my pick of the bunch
Absolutely!
Awesome, looks like you have a trailer full of fun. Thank you for your great content. I always look forward to seeing your channel.
Thanks so much!
I love the buying and selling part. I hope you do more of that and maybe even show your process. That would be cool. You picked up some gems. Very cool man
I can definitely try to show some
Wow. What a haul! Loving the vintage CB77s!!! And of course the CB750s. I have a "project" CB750F (1975) that I hope to get running again sometime. Thanks for the video!
I love the F bikes. Been working a deal on one for 6 months now lol
That CB750 with the mags WIN! 100K let's goooooo!
Duuuude I was soooooo happy about that one. I'm not lying saying Ive wanted to do a Lester mag CB750
Great to see that you saved those bikes. We get many bikes imported from the USA to the UK. I have a Yamaha DT3 250, and a Honda CB360, imported from the USA. They both required full restoration, even although the Honda only had 4500 miles, with original tyres.
Yes, I’d like to see more about negotiations.
Noted
Whatever you make in monetary terms, you definitely deserve great work
Well I appreciate that
My problem do not find many bikes in my area that I can afford. Fixed income. But that leads me to looking at some tired, ruff one. I grew up with a father who loved old cars and would take me to some very old junkyards. He taught me to see the beauty in all of them. So now, even if it is totally impractical to fix one up, the longer I look at it, the more I love them. At some point, that time comes that I need to let it go if I can find someone who will help it, or part of it live on. It's not always easy.
Heckuva job saving these bikes from the scrapper, especially the Honda CB 450.
🤘🤘
The 77s were my first bikes ,would love to rebuild another, but on fixed income , most are out of my range
Man, you found some gems there. Well done!
Definitely a few!
I only found your channel earlier this year and I've been trying to catch up on the early stuff and work my way through in date order. However, when this came up on the YT home page, I had to see what you'd got. Always good to see old bikes being saved from the scrapyard, even if one is lost as needed as a donor bike. We do get quite a few ratty bikes in the UK imported from America and there is a lot of people saving them here as well, such as members of the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club. 2 of my 3 bikes are USA imports, a '79 DT175 Enduro and a '80 CB750 Custom. Keep up the good work. Your channel is both educational and enjoyable. Thanks a lot BJ.
Well thanks so much Jeff! Also thanks so much for that other gift that means a lot 🙏🙏
Just wanted to say that, in my opinion, your videos are spot on. I enjoy your approach and personality!
Thank you!
Talk of epic series in the making. This was a score! I'm looking forward to the series. Even if you did part some off still a win.
I am very excited to do more with the CB750s when the time comes.
So looking forward to it! Best wishes!
@@BrickHouseBuilds
You got me drooling here ! Congratulations on the great haul.
Lol thank ya!
Nice haul of bikes, BJ. Love the 450!
Thank ya! I'm pumped on the 450 acquisition!
The last bike , with a dark brown seat cover, would be siiiiick... :D
It would look good
Talk about a rush! My first bike was a Bridgestone 350. Got it used in 1970. Sucker would foul a plug in a heartbeat! But it got me around through high school. Had a CB750 cafe racer with Lester mags in 1976. Loved that bike, and, to this day, I wish I had it back. Thanks for dredging up some memories!
Glad it brought some good memories!
Nice find! I picked up 4 early 80's honda gl1100s recently. Had to get a storage unit now that I have like 12 bikes, lol.
Love your channel. You inspire me to continue my efforts to get my '81 KZ250 single into running condition. I would very much like to see your insights into wheeling/dealing for these classic bikes.
Well I'm glad to hear that! I'll see what I can put together
👽 Nice space you've got there man.
Thank ya!
The Black Bomber is my favorite. You made a killer deal there!
The 450 is definitely the favorite for me too
Love the content BJ....!!
Good call on hopding on to those CB750's.....!
Cool ..,cool stuff you got going on..
God bless
BG.
🤘
Great saves! I had a 78 CB750F that i brought back to life years ago.
You are right...networking pays off when it comes to finding deals. As much as I search for projects, things fall into your lap when people know what you can do.
I need an F bike at some point. I was hunting a Yellow one and couldn't get the deal done unfortunately
@@BrickHouseBuilds A yellow '76 is definitely the one to have! There's more overlap with the K models for that year too, so it makes finding parts easier. The carb intake boots for the 77-78 model were unobtanium - I had to get creative and reseal my set every couple years.
Love the speedo/tachs on those CB77's. Full on retro cool.
Yeah that's a very cool part of the bike
Nice haul, looking forward to the 450 refresh! It’s a cool little bike. Happy holidays!
It should be a great rider
It should be a great rider
i feel like once i am makin much more monies ill end up like you! not a bad thing. love to be surrounded by vintage cars/bike. Dad used to run a restoration shop i helped with a ton when very young.
New viewer from Uk, just subscribed. This is so much more interesting than reviews of the newest bling.
Glad you enjoyed! It's almost all vintage on this channel
The CB450 you got in trade is a sweet bike, parts for the Bridgestone's are unobtainium so good call selling them as trying to restore one would be very frustrating.
Yeah I feel it was the best move
Your shop is rad. I love the look but the contents are even better.
Thank you!
Amazing scenery and a really interesting video!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great job BJ. These are really interesting bikes. Personally,im owner of seven Honda CL 450 and 250 and I love these bikes. Greetings from Greece and a happy new year.
Dang that's awesome!
almost 100K subs..did you ever imagine such a feat? well deserved, but many more to come..great content will do that..
Less than 100 to go! Should hit it late today! I have been chasing it since day 1!
Would love to see more of the buying/negotiations or behind the scenes wheeling and dealing aspects
Noted!
Yes to more of the wheelin’/dealin’ content, and would love to see you get ahold of an ‘86 CB700SC Nighthawk S and add it to the fleet. Tangents is cool too
Oh man I would love one of those. I haven't found the right deal on a blue/black one yet but I am always keeping my eyes out for the right one.
I really like all of those and will be interested in how you recover them! Cool channel.
Thank ya!
Just takes me to my local craigslist page ~ every time. So much fun. Thanks for this.
Craigslist is almost dead but it's still worth watching for random deals. All mine mainly come from Facebook
@@BrickHouseBuilds Local … mostly HD here in New England but you never know. Brings the dream a little closer. Two “maybes” a month ago. Oh well. Like you ~ too many projects. ~ on and on and on.
Nice haul there BJ I like the cb 450 Honda really nice bike and I get it whenever I buy something I just tell the wife it had my name all over it 😉 how could we not lol ,great content and nearly 100 k sub’s congratulations well deserved take care buddy and ride safe 👌👍🔧🔧🔧❤️🏁🏁
Those 450 engines were a great motor back in the day., pulled like a train, nice and light. Good luck with them
I definitely enjoyed the one I built
Those 450's are a great little bike. Resto to a neat period patina and that should make some one a really nice first bike or for a collector a great addition.
Definitely!
Merry Christmas and happy new year from northern Italy!!! 🎄🎄🎄
Same to you but from Missouri haha!
The last one is sweet congrats brother
Thank ya!
Dude, I love your shop/showroom! I hope one day to have one like it. I def understand the struggle of having too many projects. I have over 40 bikes now myself 🤣🤣🤣
It's a slippery slope 😅 Thank ya though!
This makes my heart happy
Good to know!
Nice purchase!!! 😍
Thank ya, hopefully I can find good homes for 4 of them
My first bikes were Bridgestones, awesome bikes.
Awesome!
Yeah video on the Caddy....wait wait this is a motorcycle channel....sorry got carried away.
Great haul of bikes there and I am guessing that you got the lot for a song since they were going to be scrapped for nothing anyway. I get the feeling that your going to need a bigger boat ...get it 🤣 Maybe there is a way to install a mezzanine floor at the workshop, doubling your floor space in that section !
Regarding more content on the wheelin & dealin .....yes please as we may learn something from a professional (that would be you)!
I’m same and no nothing about Bridgestones, but look to be a good restoration project for someone. Enjoyed the video, keep ‘em coming.
The red bike is definitely a worthy resto candidate
I like your aesthetic choices.
Thank you!
A great haul there. Pity you are moving on the Bridgestones, would have liked to have seen you wave your magic on one of those, but I understand your reasons for selling. The dohc 450 looks interesting. Would be good to seen something on behind the scenes stuff.👍
Yeah I know I'd love to revive a Bridgestone and CB77 but just a lack of time
I really like your channel👌🏼 beautiful workshop with style…nice old japanese bikes😍…greetings from Berlin✌🏼
Thanks so much!
Bridgestones are so hard to get parts for... Those will help someone. Great save.
Im hoping someone needs them for sure
I had the same foam grips on my -76 CB125. They kind of made sense, as back in the days of no internet they were pretty much the only ones I was able to source to replace the cracked and torn originals. That 125 is back with its previous owner, being restored.
That's fair as yeah parts were harder to source
Nice find!
🤘🤘
Good job in saving these old beauties, it would've been a crime to scrap these bikes. CB77 is a little beaut. Lester wheels were sought after back in the day, a friend had a Z1B900 with Lester wheels, I was so jealous of that bike.
I'm happy I got to save them
After a Vespa and a motobecain my first real motorcycle was a CL72! It was a great bike and carried me through high school and part way through college.
Awesome!
Nice I had a 750 night hawk 83 pipes went and count not find replacements so sold it
As much as I was around those CB77 series, I never noticed the vertical odometer. Very cool feature. You really should consider restoring one of them. They are great machines.
I'd love to fix everything up but there just aren't enough hours in the day. These are tempting though
@@BrickHouseBuilds I hear ya. I got an old Goldwing and an older AJS I’d like to get started on. To many projects in front, and I’m not getting any younger.
I believe that Laverda got the idea for their SF750 parallel twin from the Honda 77, looks like the same motor. Very nice score on the 450 DOHC. Enjoyed the video BJ, and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!
I'd believe that!
Hi , sorry haven't been watching your channel much as my mum pasted away in early July . Anyway just watched this video and loved it , all those bikes you got , nice one . I loved the Honda CB 450 double overhead cam and would love that bike and clean it up , as I do motorbike valeting , and just by looking at it , i can tell that would come up well mint . Love your workshop , it looks well awesome. Love what you are doing on motorbikes and cars dude 🤟🤟 👍
I'm sorry to hear of your mom's passing. It's beyond difficult so no need to apologize at all.
Love the "I didn't ask too many questions.."
I just said ok and can you deliver them!
Another interesting video ,must be my age but I love the look of those Honda's ,that CB450 is a peach but I would have to sort out the dent !! Your channel goes from strength to strength and I for one would enjoy a bit of wheeling and dealing .Happy Christmas to you and your's .Cheers from the uk .
Well thank ya! The dent will definitely get some attention
Love these videos
Glad you enjoyed them@
Buying and selling would be good to see. Keep the 450 as it looks now . All the best from England
I think it would be cool to show how I've done deals. I'll see what I can do. Definitely no need to change the 450
Nice score.
Thank ya!
This popped up, I viewed. Also subscribed to get you to your 100K. I'm old and recently bought my 15th m/c, a Honda VTX 1800R, 2002, still in the wind. My 1st bike in 1975 was a used Kawasaki 250 enduro, green.😊
Well I greatly appreciate it!
Nice haul !
🤘🤘
Funny how your appreciation changes - back in college, I would'nt give the 70's CB450's or 750's much of a 2nd glance versus the newer 80's superbikes, although I did buy a CB500 four. That CB450 is a diamond in the rough, with a little work a stunner.
I think we all do that. Our interests change so things come back around we may not have liked before
I have a 450a from 82 and I love that thing
They really have a charm to them
Cannot wait to see what you do with those 77s.
They will just be sold as I said. Too many projects to get to in a realistic time frame. I wish I could get to them though
Yeah...got excited to see them and didn't wait for the part of the video that you say all that. LOL
The old CBs are cool. We had a local shop that shut down about 10 years ago. There were 2 semi trailers full of parts. Sold for $300 a truckload! I missed out on that. I DID get a turbo and 2 good ECUs for my 85 Kawi before the clean out.
Holy crap thats cheap!
WELL DONE BLOKE ! THE 750s WERE ALWAYS A BIG PART OF MY LIFE ,,,ENJOY ! MY FIRST ROADBIKE WAS A 73 BACHUS GREEN 750/4 ,I PAID CASH FOR IN DURBAN STH AFRICA WHEN I WAS 18 !
🤘🤘
Love to see some dealing - i could use the pointers
Noted!
People sending historic Honda's like that to scrap need a slap LOL
You The MAN.👌
🤘🤘
My first bike was a CB77. The kick starter was reversed and I did not need to stand up to kick it...just stay seated and push forward. People were always amazed at this particularity.
My first long trip with border crossing...from Quebec to Boston.
I really need to ride a 305 as they made Honda a name in the US. I doubt I'll even work on these though
I am presently living in the Philippines and my bike is a Motorstar Cafe 400.
It was initially built in China by Honda from 2002 to 2006. It was sold under the name
Honda CB400SS. Has that model ever been sold in USA?
Shineray company still built that motorcycle for different customers that sell them under different names.
That dohc is going to be a wow.
Just a bit of spit shine and it will be a stunner!
Nice, i love Honda's. I currently ride a vt750 as its my only transportation. Good job 👍
Cool bikes!
The 'Scrappies' occasionally get old bikes through in NZ, all the ones I've talked-to have a deal-going with someone who takes them all . We do live in a very, very small-country compared to yours and-yet 'Gems' like this still pop-up from time to time . Dave nz
The scrappers here definitely get their hands on some great bikes too
😮Before you know it you’re going to be able to start a museum of old Japanese and foreign bikes 😂
Well on my way!
Jeee! More videos 😊
👍
More wheelin' and dealin' would be great. That would be helpful to a lot of younger cats.
Definitely
2 cb450..nice!!
Indeed!
Would be cool to see some bartering going on,or a start to finish barn find dust and all. Any plans to come back to Scotland next year dude?
Well I have a full playlist of my barn find cb750. I also have one on the free gs550, and others. Not next year but I imagine some time in my future I'd make it back
The dent on that 450s tank will hopefully pop out .
Those grips were common in the late 1980s. I hated them as they were massive, and made my hands ache badly.
It is slightly creased but should be able to be made much less noticeable
@@BrickHouseBuilds the crease isn't showing on the video but hopefully you can still sort it out.
A friend bought a 600 Bandit which had a dent in the top of the tank (paint was fine). They managed to get 99% of the dent out with one of the dent pullers that uses hot glue to stick a pully to the dent.
What a haul!
For real!
Love your content. Tank dents... have you ever done any vids on removing them?
I've shown one where I used a tube to push one out
My Favorite is your Favorite, Your videos we love to see is ever ones favorite and that CB 450 is awesome make a video will it Run
Of all bikes I have I feel thhe 450 could make for the perfect "will it run" episode
