That "1964" project appears to have a 1959 engine...... :-)

I need to watch ebay UK more often! I still think I'll find a CZ there someday....

It's puzzling that it is listed as a 1964 when everything including the reg. plate suggests early 60's.

Hi all im a new member here my friend and i bought the bikes the complete one is a 61 and the one that is stripped is a 60 the engine starts 0 and not a 9 as described.
if you enlarge the pic showing the damper knob i think im right in saying honda is written in japanese....only when i picked up the bike it was different
am i right or wrong??
iv owned a few cb92's and still own 2 iv also had a cb72 that i restored and i did own briefly around 18 years ago a c72 1962 which i sold and regretted ( it looked about the same as these) so im back on track and have another. as you can see my friend needs a lot of parts so if anyone has spare tank panels or a side panel etc please contact me.

I may have an early tank and possibly other parts to swap for handlebar / winkers you have on the spares bike. I'll be away for a couple of weeks from Sunday.

I did ask for clarification on the numbers but the guy sold the bikes and never got back to me..... :-)

Hi you may remember me posting on here some time back how my friend 4 I bought both of thebikes well iv no now ended up with both and I we acquired a lot of early spares which I also have all nos not much spare to sell but nice parts including one odd tank panel for the c77 early type I have to sort through the parts to say which side but I'm missing an early nos c72 one again not sure of the side. I wondered if you knew of anyone for swaps once I know which one and I will send some photos I have nos silencers for both bikes one set stainless the other steel do you know what should go with what 60/ 61 I'm not sure when it all arrives I will send some photos many thanks ray
