016 you gotta love’m

I’ve always loved single cilinder bikes. I’ve had plenty of them, but never a Honda.
Maybe because friends of mine used to own one, and I always wanted something different, hence the ducati’s.
But man are these Honda machines bulletproof!
I was always working on the bikes and my friends were just riding!
Something to think about eh?
As soon as the “Dommie” was in my workshop I started stripping it down and test fitted my newly acquired cg Tank.
Of course it didn’t fit but it gave me an overall idea of the looks.
