I find in these type of situations it was best to change wife’s instead, The 480 will still look hot in 15 years from now

If you are going to ride it, get a spare set of crankcases, my 450 collapsed the whole crankcase behind the clutch basket after 6 months use from new.

Awesome showroom bike though!

The bike has done a season with out a hitch. I am well aware of the gearbox problems as I did own one in 1981. However I have fixed that problem by inserting a steel ring around the main clutch shaft bearing which gives it the extra strength it needs. This is a very reliable bike. By the way Johnny o thanks for alerting everyone to that problem whilst trying to sell it. Lol

Bloody nice bike Macca.. I had a brand new one, not the best bike to ride but surely one of the coolest Honda's. Being the first big bore from Honda makes it collectible..

I can't believe how I feel. I know I will regret it but it's
Gone!! Unfortunately I had to sell it. One of the hardest things to do was watch it being pushed way down a driveway. Me thinks might be drowning my sorrows big time tonight!
Thanks to everyone

I actually shed a slight tear from selling a bike that i had owned for 15 years,as the ute was driving down the road with my old bike on the back all the old memories/emotions hit, i own a bike now that i have had for seven years and could quite easily part with as i have not ridden it much but when you own one that has been a good thing for a long time they get hard to part with as they are a big part of our lives.

cheers Dale.

Macca, i know this is an ancient thread, however how did you do and what is the steel ring for the clutch shaft?
