This one is for the purists!

[mindymogul]

Been a while since I was last here, thought I'd post something a bit on the taboo side. In my recent ventures of scrap picking I stumbled across this lil guy. Of course with my fetish of absolutely setting purists on fire to the point they check in to crisis, I introduce the 1971 Honda CB130! 45cc smaller than stock, but already more powerful. 40 Series is already on the way!

Why is it taboo? Welcome back. How was Jail?

I really like the concept!

The Honda CBs are like the only bike that will grant you threats of pipe bomb destruction just like cutting up a C4 Corvette. My CB750 was stolen twice because I apparently "didn't appreciate it enough and wasn't going to restore it and preserve it." My CB450 is on full lockdown any time I leave it unattended because of these "preservationists"

Ha! They should happy every time someone "un preserves one". It just makes there shelf queen go up in value.

Can I ride it?

I'd be mad if it was a 350-four.

Put down the beer and look at the photos!

Not only is the original engine gone but it's replaced with a __________. Them's fightin words around here!

I do not see the problem with this. I do agree that the 350cc 4 cylinder was special, but any old CL175 frame is fair game. Good suspension and seating, tall tires, solid wheels...but I think it needs a twin or a transmission.

On third glance, the bike is a total mix-match on parts isn't it? Wrong gas tank, wrong seat, etc....

Why you gotta be such a purist and point all the details only one of you snobby types would notice?
