sorry @Mailman no searching needed. Tho this particular bike has an interesting history. ;^)
 
Nice. Looks like it'd give a well sorted RD a run for it's money. A buddy had a Titan back in my RD days. We used to swap rides. I loved the Titan. It was a bit sedate compared to my RD's. That one looks like a screamer.
 
I bet his neighbors just LOVE him...:rolleyes:

He keeps the neighborhood fogged and free of mosquitos! 😄

I had a blue one for a brief moment after having my R5 and it was definitely a “gentleman’s” ride in comparison.
 
This Honda was on Pipeburn today: from Purpose Built Moto. Honda CB550. Beautiful build.

That really is beautiful! I know they take a lot of knocks for not being very powerful, but I remember back when they were being built, most of the moto magazines said they were Honda‘s best four cylinder engine, just because they were so smooth and we’ll made.
