Montesa Cota & Honda CBX

These two bikes are owned by my friend Dan. The text is his own (slightly edited) words.

It's a 1974 Montesa Cota 247, it has approx 1050 miles and is about 90% original. The only things not factory are the rubber parts and it has a new piston and rings. I got it for free. I have owned it since 81.


Here are pics of my "old" Honda. I call him Harvey. He has been in the family since the spring of 79. I got it from a dealer in Ontario for $4250 and Alberta Cycle wanted $5195. I politely declined Norm Greens offer and had it shipped out from Doug's Cycle Center in Grimsby, Ontario via C.N. for $100. It has a sport kit and Ontario Moto Tech exhaust pipes. It was repainted in 2003 and the seat needed recovering. And I also got the original battery to last 12 years because it was charged properly from new and filled with distilled water when needed. Still looks not bad!
