Talk Morgan Forums Community Vehicle Talk (non-Morgan) David Silver Honda Collection

With Hawki & RichardV6 I paid a visit to this collection in Suffolk.
It brought back many memories. I had a red CB200 & a Yellow 400 Four.
They didn't have the right CB360 that I also owned.

Well worth a vsit if you are in the area at only £5 a head for over 65s.

Nice collection, it takes you back to the days when unlike others I wont mention Japanese bikes worked everytime, were pretty much totally reliable in all weathers, didn't always handle that well when pushed....but oh boy the ease of an electric start. Early Honda CB's will alway be my favourite, especially in that gold colour scheme..

Thanks for posting this. I have now added this to my must visit list.
Had a CB200 in exactly that colour and remember riding it at midnight on my17th birthday as I couldn’t wait until the morning. What a revelation after my Puch Grand Prix ! Next bike was also a CB400 four, although in Blue, so really took me back.

Another pic, earliest proper motorcycle from the collection, an E type from 1951.



and the earliest, a motorised bicycle.



Note belt drive and rather extended exhaust pipe to silencer near rear wheel hub.

They have a blue one too.

Me too! I had blown up my Kawasaki 250 and needed something to pass my test on. Only kept it a few months until I traded it in for my first Bonneville.

Spun (metal spining) many a carb trumpet for Honda 400 / 4's

Another must visit place. I used to buy my GW1200A spares from David Silver

Graham you both are welcome to stay if you want to visit Suffolk

Thanks John.
When I'm up for travelling again, probably not for the rest of this year, I'll spend some time over in the East. Can't speak for Sally as we're not really together now - just an occasional coffee / day trip out.
