First ride in ~20 years
Bought this barn find about a month ago. Slowly working on it when other jobs give me time. Got it running yesterday and took it up and down my lane a few times today. Runs pretty good for a small bike. I'll let you guys guess what it is.
some already know and some will get it easy.
Some pics of when I went to look at it too..

Re: First ride in ~20 years
I had a dream of getting one of those. What year?
Great to keep these old 'Wings flying on down the road.

Re: First ride in ~20 years
That looks like BOAT loads of fun.
1997 Valkyrie- Light Cutomization, but Too Busy Riding
1980 KZ1300- Bike's Haunted
1976 GL1000 (Yellow)- It Runs (Poorly) and Doesn't Leak (Mostly)
1974 Velosolex 3800- Better Than Walking
1972 CB750- Broke the Chain And Ate the Motor
1969 CT90- The Most Fun You Can Have on 90ccs.
1965 CA77 Dream- Needs a Full Teardown, but Complete
All advice I give is only valid until an expert corrects me.

Re: First ride in ~20 years
Ya a Honda 305 "dream". A real collectors item but was way cooler in those days than now. I used to be so envious when I had my 65 sport and 90cc after that. Imagine having a whole 305 CC's, dual carbs and exhaust. My buddy just refurbed a CB77 305 superhawk for a local guy that owned it since day one. Cute but only to drive in parades.

Re: First ride in ~20 years
Some of you guys need to look a little closer. One of the big give aways is the carb. hint hint

Re: First ride in ~20 years
Ok, some of you are close. It is a 1966 CA160. Sometimes called a baby dream. Two cylinder with a single carb. It does run pretty good and has decent power for it's size.
Some parts are hard to find. Can't get the "exact" replacement battery for them. Have to go with one that is close. New air filter can be found from Asia but I was able to clean the one on it.
