In an effort to hear something Honda running at my house I woke up my CB160 for the first time in a while. Carbs are shot but what do you expect...
Maybe next week I can get my CA160 running again after the top overhaul:rolleyes:

Why do you do this to me? Now I must seek and find one for myself to match that fuel tank I've been looking at on my shelf for my whole life! :D I saw a Youtube video of a CL160 that had some CB touches onto it with the high pipes... heck I'll take one of those even!

Keep your eyes peeled for me guys. I'll be scanning the online auctions myself. :)

I know the pipes on this bike are a bit shot out but I am amazed at the difference in sound between the CB and CA, and just love the sound of the Honda Twin (look around the video,1 Superhawk 1 CA160 1 Cb160 and CD175 Sloper). If I'd have known Ryan this one could have been yours....
As is, it is slated for a buddy in Naples. IF I can set the floats I'm gonna ride it first though...
The CAs are great but I do love the CBs a bit more...:D

That's why we must have one of each. :) I had a hard time not buying a little dirt bike today from a friend of mine. I could probably double my money on it with a little work but then I keep thinking I could use that money to fix up what I already have in the garage OR put away for a little CB fun bike. I'm in no hurry. Good deals pop up every now and then.

Got running "ok" and took her around the neighborhood. She'll probably move on to a new home in the next few days.

Made a rookie mistake though, tried to do a running video with a regular camera. Forgot you need three hands... the results were the following;
