    August 2015 BOTM

    I've seen photos of this bike elsewhere on the forum, but I just got back from a (motorcycle-free) trip, and saw the photo of August's BOTM.

    I'm surprised nobody has given it props yet.

    A real beauty for sure.

      Very nice original motorcycle. I see there were a few Suzuki's in your past and you're only the second person I know that's had a CBX550 Honda.

                    The easiest way to find it is to look at the very bottom of THIS page.
                    Yes, the one you are reading right now. Or any other page, for that matter.

                    Look all the way down there on the right end of the blue bar.
                    You will see four items kind of lumped together, but they are four separate links:

                    Archive
                    Top

                    Click on the homepage link, you will see the Bike of the Month on the home page.

                      Really Nice Bike, Ton.
                      And good photo of the nice bike.

                      Interesting story about how you (and your brother) had a similar one 30 years ago.

                      At first glance, seeing the paint schem and the zuki emblem on tail piece (not a reflector), that indicated to me a "European model".
                      The solid brake discs later caught my eye.

                      Interesting about it being a 550EZ but an 84.
                      (but I don't fully understand what you mean)
                      (other than I know Z is for 82)
