1973 Honda CB 350. It was like this photo exactly with the crash bars as well. My top speed was 112mph on old Airline Hwy near Norco, La. Traded it after 2 years for a base 68 Camaro, automatic with bench seat. The Camaro had a rebuilt engine that needed work. It was a good trade.

I love the CBs.

I had this as my first "street only" bike.

my grandpa had a bike similar in the late 80's maybe early 90's that looked similar but was a royal blue. I can't remember if it was a honda or yamaha. i constantly look at bikes of those years trying to figure out what he had. nostalgia feel for me

This was my first "street legal" bike. Burned up the back roads and neighborhoods at 14 years old.

Very cool. My first was the 750. Same color, lowered with drag bars and a Kerker 4 into 1 header




Second was a 600 Ninja that I was way to big for. Third and favorite bike was a 98 V-Max



Thing was a monster stop light to stop light. Roll on 1st gear power wheelies like it wasn't nothing. My hands were shaking every time I got off of it for the first week I had it. Made plans to start drag racing it. Lower it, air shifter, tune, etc. Wife said please don't. So I sold it and bought a 70 Camaro drag car. Good times.

My boyfriend had a very similar Honda that I rode the neighborhood streets and trails in the pastures/woods on.

My son's face in high school when he found out his mom could ride a bike well. Priceless.

Those VMAX bikes were the ultimate "Who's your daddy" bikes..

I seen guys easily lift the front wheel off the ground in 3rd gear from 30 to 40 mph..

My baby. Still regret selling it. Kid wrecked it before the title transfer was even completed.
