The chrome is like new. So is the seat and everything except the paint is faded on the top of the tank.

Some info gleaned from my short ride today. Even though it's of the same vintage as the BSA and only 39% the displacement, the Honda is probably faster than the Beeser. It is also much smaller, lighter, has much better brakes, the shifter is on the correct side, hardly vibrates etc.

The power is up high. If you want to accelate 'hard' you gotta shift at 9000 RPM 8O . Redline is 10,500 but I don't want to test it.

The bike runs great as is, but I'm sure it will be better with new O rings, which were available new from Bike Bandit. I also picked up some fork seals.
