Comments from the seller

Honda CL450 Scrambler K5 1973 The Honda CL450 was the dual sport or "scrambler" model of Honda's 450 cc (27 cu in) DOHC parallel-twin engined motorcycle. It was the sister bike to the Honda CB450. It’s a great looking bike but not running as good as it should. Hence the cheaper price. I’m sure someone with the right expertise could get it running beautifully. Selling on behalf of my father inlaw who lives in Ireland. He purchased the bike in 2016 and very rarely used since then. A huge amount of extra accumulated over the past 10 years (see pictures) Extras added over the years - Twin Mikuni Carburetor Kit with pod filters (RRP$1000) - NewTronic Electronic Ignition - Volt Meter - Larger fuel tank (comes with original tank) - New regulator Starter motor not working – can still kick start Not charging when riding – possible stator coil issue. Very rare bike and they don't come up for sale often and an amazing looking bike..
