Which CB650 to start with?
Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2017 8:11 am
Hi all,
I bought 7 CB650s (1980, 1981, & 1982) off a nice gentleman who owned a motorcycle junkyard. Each has been sitting outside for years and had some parts scavenged off of it. But on the bright side, each has something (or many things) that is entirely intact! I have been thoroughly enjoying playing around with the roughest looking one, just because this one had good carbs, but thats about it.
My question to you is if I was going to rebuild one, which one should I use as the basis and why? I know CB650s changed significantly between 79 & 80, but I'm only dealing with 80 on.
Thanks for your help and feedback
