Yep, I’m reviewing a Honda Motorcycle book on a Harley enthusiast website. I would guess that many of us have owned or ridden at least one of the bikes in this book, whether we would admit it or not.
Doug Mitchel has put together a comprehensive collection of photographs and facts to be used as a guide for the average Joe thinking about restoring an old Honda.
Each model gets color photos, four to six paragraphs describing the bike, notes on year to year changes and model highlights. Also included is a rating for each bike on its restorability, covering the availability of bikes and parts, ease of restoration and final value versus restoration cost.
A huge roadblock on restoring these old scoots is the availability of exhaust pipes. Doug points this out several times along with plenty more advice about each model. Honda Enthusiasts Guide Motorcycles 1959-1985 is a worthwhile book for reference and should be the first part purchased for your restoration project.
Enthusiasts Guide, Honda Motorcycles: 144 pages, over 300 color photographs.
