Just wondering How many forum members Have big bore Honda's in their collection ?

just want to see how many are out there and share info on parts and suppliers etc with other owners if they wish.

you can stay anonymous or post what you have as a reply.  for those that have multiple bikes you can post up to 4 votes.

i will start off, i have a 1985 CR500RF.

CR 500's in EML's/VMC's etc were a very poplular choice of engine for motor cross and reliability trials outfits. i know of quite a few. KTM's seem to be the top pick these days though.
Wanted - 1978 TS185 frame or frame&motor. Frame # TS1852-24007 up to TS1852-39022

1 Cr480rd which had the original front tyre on it until a week a go,it practically fell off.
seat plastics etc all original not show room but still good.
Not sure what to do with her (restore or leave as is) but it is definitely turning over some dirt at Canberra's first round this week end as my RE wont be ready.
CR480rd
CR250rd
plus years of collecting 83 Cr junk

As i can only tick 4 boxes, the poll wont be accurate( didn't tick the 500rf box).
