1979 Honda CB650 Combination
Registration no. WWL 470T
Frame no. RC03-2017962
Engine no. RC03E-2018087

Introduced in 1979, the CB650 was one of the final four-cylinder models to use the single-cam engine that had first appeared in the legendary CB750 of 1968, Honda already having moved on to twin cams and four valves per cylinder for its larger motorcycles. The CB650 was derived from the middleweight CB550 model, whose frame it shared, but was bored out to 626cc. Lighter and more compact than Honda's contemporary 750s, it gave little away to its larger siblings in all-round performance. Acquired in 2005, this CB650 (displaying 22,583 miles to the odometer) was previously registered overseas and not UK registered until 1992 and is accompanied by a Squire sidecar. It is not known when the machine was last used, is missing its RH side panel and is sold strictly as viewed. Offered with V5C, old V5C, old V5, a selection of SORN's and a receipt for indicators.
