'83 Honda GB 400 MkII.I rode this bike while living in Tokyo, around 2004. Was my everyday transport, rode back and forth from my house to my graphic studio 40km x 2, almost everyday.
In my motorcycle history, my bike was almost always a chopper, and this was the first classic cafe racer bike I ever owned. Once you kick the engine and start to ride, you just feel like putting your head down deep inside the fairing, and your ass up. Back-steps, this was something new to me too. Sometimes I miss this front-position since I ride a chopper now. The fairing always reminded me the kool Kawas appearing in Mad Max. me Goose, or Bubba Zaneti? I like both of them, my favorite charactors. I was wearing a fake copy of black Simpson RX6 helmet with this bike. yeah, a fake one, probably MADE IN CHINA stuff. Can't afford a real one man, got two kids to feed!
Was such a beautiful single engine blasting fast rocket bike.
Light blue metallic flake paint, Triumph muffler, racing separate handles, back-steps, Lucas tail-light, WM double seat, built-in Lucas marker lights, Napoleon mirrors, etc...
