The kick start is missing... Oh well!
I'd still ride it.

It says it's a standard Honda 750 cruiser mill?

XR has about 40 more horsepower.

It looks like the plastic models I assembled as a kid.

Looks kinda ghey with the V-twin... the original with the parallel twin is the way to go.

Plus, given the number of the Hondas I've ridden with that displacement motor, it's gonna need more umph.

Are those passenger pegs connected to the swingarm? That would be a really good way to shatter a few bones or launch the passenger off the back of the machine.

The best thing I like about this bike is....nothing! There, I said it and feel much better now. I've owner a scrambler once before, this looks nothing like that.

Greg- yeah, I've noticed those rear pegs being WRONG for many years on these Hondas.

My first bike was an 82 TS125 Suzuki, pegs were like that, I always wanted to mod them somehow to get them off the swingarm...

Looks to me like the folks who did that "chopper" got a chance to polish up another turd.

Gotta say though- not a bad thing style-wise to be looking back at some of these old bikes- vintage 70's and 80's bikes looked better back then, IMHO...
