Interesting Vintage Japanese Motorcycles

Post by Steverino » Thu Nov 19, 2015 3:28 pm

Apologies if I am repeating myself. I did a search to see if I posted this before and I didn't find it. The motorcycle that really catches my eye is the liquid cooled CB72 or CB77, I'm not sure which but it is a Hawk. Custom or Factory?

My guess would be a CB72/77 bike, with a liquid cooled Hornet 250 type four cylinder engine installed. Note the drive chain on the left side, and possibly an intake manifold with a single carburetor. Regards, Chase

Looks like a CB72/7 with a 90's CB250RR engine fitted, interesting is the rear wheel has had to be fitted the opposite way for chain. The engine is used regularly here for RC162 replicas along with a similar Yamaha engine.
