What is the old CB450dx like?
Well the bike shop near me has an J reg, (that's 1991!), for sale at £595 in good nick with a guarantee and a new ticket and I'm sorely tempted as it looks damned comfy and it's a Honda. Are they good bikes?
The CB-450DX was only built for 3 years (1989-1991), due to poor sales figures.
They were built in Brazil. Unfortunately, the Brazilian-built Hondas don't have the same build quality as the Japanese-built ones.
It's slow, for the engine size - 85mph flat-out is all you can really expect. However, as the brakes aren't too good, maybe that's not a bad thing.
Fuel consumption is poor - around 45mpg (my 1,700cc Victory does about 45mpg…).
The CB-450DX is comfortable to ride, handles fairly well and if you can knock the seller down to under £500, it'll be a bargain as a commuter bike.
Hi like all hondas is well looked after are a nice motorcycle.

- Is it normal for someone to still drive a 20-year-old car? I still see dozens of 20-year-old Hondas and Toyotas every day. Is it a Japanese car thing to last that long or is it normal? I want to get a 20-year-old car soon.
