Another 1989 Honda GB500 in Astonishing Condition

September 28, 2016 by Paul Crowe

1989 Honda GB500

They showed up in Honda showrooms as the Japanese interpretation of what the classic British cafe racer should have been and they built a beauty. Unfortunately, it showed up as the big displacement horsepower wars were getting under way and buyers had something crazy … [Read more...]
