I'm on a rant. I'm looking at a Japanese classic now. A 1979 Honda CBX.
If I buy this bike we should throw a party, as Thumper will have come full
circle after 30 years.

Note the admittedly ugly Supertrapp exhaust. It has a removable baffle.
Praise!

Be certain you ask how many cam shafts have been replaced in it.

Nah, only about 17%, more or less, of a gross.

A question.
Could the yellowing of the valve covers, which the seller attributes to
simple paint discoloration, be caused by some sort of overheating?
