Honda CB450 K0 Motorcycle 1966

[WDHewson]

The subject motorcycle was written about in Hot Rod in April 1966, starting on page 81, but I cannot find the article.

Does anyone have this issue of Hot Rod and can scan it and mail the scans to me?

I’m restoring one this winter.

Thanks.

Got to love ebay. Dozens of April 1966 Hot Rod magazine for about 10$ So I’ve ordered one.

I’ll try to remember this posting and put up a few scans.

The Honda CB450 engine was particularly memorable for its torsion bar valve springs, that will never have coil surge and have enormously high natural resonant frequency so they never get “confused”. But you still can float the valves.

More later.
