1967 Honda CB450D - Desert Scrambler
During 1966/67 stocks of the CB450-K0 ("Black Bomber") were building up in US showrooms. To assist sales of the now fairly dull looking black only design Honda produced a special kit of parts for dealers to convert new bikes to this special "D"-model, the "D" stands for "Desert Scrambler". Consisting of tank, seat, mudguards, upswept exhausts and other parts to what later become a "CL"-scrambler style. This was the strongest 2-cylinder bike at that time with 444 ccm and 43 HP, DOHC, aircooled 4-stroke engine, 187 kg and 180 km/h. I imported the bike from Italy and only exchanged wear parts and the exhaust (rare genuine part), it has the original painting and chrome. About 30 to 40 exemplars exist worldwide. I cannot believe, that this bike is already 55 years old ;-)
