Sorry It's a Honda Chopper! BUT! 70's was created by z1kzonly
Hi, same guy I was just at. Had some 1970's 2 twin cylinder, Poor man's chopper! Period correct! Whoever "gator" the painter is?? He said he was famous? But cool ribbon paint job! Looks like "Forking by Frank" front end. Hog Wheel! Nice sissy bar! Ape Hangers! Custom name brand seat! Has Title!!! Compression and spark! The CV carbs are all free and move. He told me if a young family member don't come up with $! I could have it for $300 bucks! A total Stranger with a lot of $$ as I seen his place! And his newer Corvette! And new Chevy Truck!
I must be crazy to think about it? BUT? For a classic Flip???

Nice 450. I'd buy it. Easy to work on unless you need to remove the head.

Those Honda DOHC 450 twins can run with Brit 650's.
No slouches and were cutting edge at the time.
As I recall, they out-performed the Honda 500 and 550.
As noted, someone put some time and money into that bike.
Would be fun to clean up and ride.

Perhaps here's how it started life:



Good Fortune! :)

Thanks Patton! I did not even know what size it was! Did not talk too much about it. I'm going to call him in a few days and see!
We have a Vintage Foriegn meet July 16th about 30 minutes from me. I'm gonna load up my truck and unload some stuff.
That Honda Chop would fit right in!
