400 four was a nice bike to ride. . First bike I was legally on the road with at 18 was DT 125 had a few different bikes after that, DR 350 with a big bore kit was a good tool, DR 400E. couple of bandits and the last was a FZ1. Really miss not having a bike at the minute but I'll get another when the time is right. 

Honda 50s was the mode of transport here back in the day. Even house had one, or a 90.

Neighbour was tell me, when he was young he went to the UK to work the beet. We he came home he bought a brand new Honda 50, insured and delivered to the house for a 180 pound.

This was in 1974. It lasted well over 20 years.

Had an old 50 here for years, held together with wire, vice grips, a bean can for a baffle, the big heavy red flash light for a light, rough but useable. 

Would be called a rat bike today, and probably worth a fortune LOL
