This bike was old when I had it way back in 1992. I was, as you can see, an idiot when I bought this cranky old relic of a bike. But I rode it once and loved it. It was, sadly, a piece of shit that conked out in the rain or sometimes in heavy morning fog.
But it was also great fun to ride when it ran. I bought this as my first transportation in Cape Town, South Africa. I had previously been limited to riding my Ibis Avion mountain bike. On which I had a pair of slicks that let me burn up and down the flanks of Table Mountain.
It wasn't very fast but ithad a good presence and sounded good. It was a Honda CB500 Bushman and it was the first of two motorcycles I owned while I lived overseas. The other was a Suzuki Katana 550. I'll post that one some other time.
