Beautiful 1973 Honda CB450 Restomod

Description

I am selling my beautiful, ne-of-a-kind 1973 Honda CB450 Restomod / Brat. The bike is the result of ~2 years of design, abrication, ngine-building, ody and paint work.
All the work except the engine re-boring was done by myself.
Please click here for a video walk-around of the bike and a chance to hear it run.
I've built and sold several other bikes. Here are some other links which hopefully help to demonstrate the time, uality, nd care I put into this CB450 and all my builds:
