CL72 - I may buy one

[bwooten]

New to the whole old school Honda, but the wife found a 1963 while driving around.<br /><br />We are considering it to go with the 1964 Beetle.<br /><br />All advice is welcome.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Bryan<br /><br />

You probably should start with a newer 305!!!!!!!!!! If you don't buy it let me know off line and &quot;I will&quot; as I've been looking for that year for a while. In all seriousness if you would drop me the particulars on the bike off line I will fill you in on what to look for to make a successful purchase!<br /><br />P-Town Mike

Any of the CL72 Hondas is very collectable. The reason is the profile to most and another is they are more rare. (less made than the CL77) The things to think about are is it correct and complete. Many parts are difficult to find. Front aluminum fender and brace, rear aluminum fender, chain guard and other parts which escape me at this time. ..............LM
