We are absolutely thrilled to see my 1974 Honda CB450 K7 Supersport featured on what is arguably the most prolific custom motorcycle blog on the web. A huge thanks to Chris and the crew at BikeEXIF for considering our little Honda for their site. However, equally big thanks and kudos go to Juan F. Hernandez for taking such great photos of Adeline.

I’m just as guilty of this dismissal as the next guy, particularly in my pre-riding years. Now that I’ve owned several bikes, my eyes have adjusted and I’ve learned to see and appreciate the beauty in the lines of a bike like this.
