Does Red or black scrambler sells better?

Matt; I have a cb72 in white, I think there is a pic somewhere on this site. apparently white was a hard sell in the day and a lot of white bikes got repainted by dealers. I like the white, many others don't.
I like your idea of all colors. I'm working my dream collection toward that end. I'm just lacking blue now, but have a couple projects that could complete the circle.

The challenge for me is I'm doing everything but the tanks in powder coat so I have to have it all ready in color batches so it all comes out the same shade. If I do the CB72 in red or blue I'll have to get it and the corresponding CB160 done at the same time so they match. I know... woe is me. I suppose I could buy my own boxes of powder so it always matches...

Alfa is in because it swallowed a washer and nut on number 3... poor thing. All better now thanks to a rebuilt head.

CB160's were not out of storage at this point except the cafe racer looking fellow.

Back when I bought my new '63 CB77 black was the color,
even though for other reasons I had a white one.
Today red.

I'd love to have a white CB77 - maybe the next one - if my original (black) one ever gets finished, that is!

Please forgive me for late entry....


If you had a BLACK Honda back in the day you were IT!

Any kid in my town growing up dreamed of getting a black Honda 50 sport and rabbits foot key chain when they turned 14 and their parents let them get a Florida restricted MC license. That key in your jean pocket was a BIG status symbol in Jr. High and Man you were mobile!!!

Those were the days...
