The Honda CB450's arrival in 1965 dispelled any lingering doubts about Japan's intention to compete in all sectors of the market. With a top speed of over 100mph and a standing quarter-mile time in the 14-second bracket, the refined CB450 sounded the death knell, not just for the traditional British '500', but for the entire UK motorcycle industry.

This Honda CB450 was imported from the USA and first registered in the UK on 10th April 2014. The machine had only one keeper in the UK before being purchased by its late owner in February 2016 and exported to the Isle of Man. The CB has seen little use since purchase. Its three UK MoT certificates are on file and the Honda also comes with copies of its Ohio Certificate of Title; invoices for shipping services and spare parts; and an Isle of Man Vehicle Registration Certificate.
