Hello! I'm new to motorcycling, I've had my endorsement for a little over a month. This 1982 Honda CM450E is my first bike. I have so far in one month put 1,000 miles on it and have loved every second! I bought the bike for $600 and the odometer says it has 75xxmiles on it. It isn't the original speedo so honestly i don't know how many miles it actually has. There are several issues with it that i'm working to solve, but i suppose that should be saved for a different thread. I mostly ride to and from work(round trip 50miles) but i ride every chance i get! I have raced downhill mountain bikes since i was 12 so i'm pretty comfortable on 2 wheels. Needless to say...having an engine on 2 wheels is a whole different beast. Though i have always worked on my own vehicles i would not say i am proficient at modding or fixing more than the standard items that fail. I'm gonna need all the help i can get!

Welcome to the forum. Great to see another 400 series here.

Welcome aboard. Lots of information waiting in the SOHC section. You should consider putting the front fender back on or minimally a fork brace, it's an important part. Also the right foot peg is missing a bolt.

Hahaha I never noticed that! I'll get right on that

The CM450e makes a great platform for bobbing/rat rodding. Enjoy!
