This computer age is incredible!

over the weekend i found (on line) my high school year book (1961, 8th grade) from camp zama, japan, & this was on one of the pages- i lusted over this very bike when it was parked at school.

tube frame with a funky "sport fork" & rather large mag brakes, there is another sohc twinn just visible below the headstock. note the cable anchor at the 90* bend of the brake arm.

52 years later i still think its cool!!

BikeRX, this is the closest bike that I could find.
They call it a CR71 based on a C71. Scram64

Thanks Scram,
BTW that photo was taken across the street from my school & the bike was a daily rider for one of the older students who lived off base & commuted.
I think the negative is reversed, but there are a lot of similarities to the CR71.

This is amazing! I too use to know every Honda and knew which "older" kid rode them to the school when I was young. I watched the dreams give way to the "cooler" new style Honda's around 1971 and felt a bit of sadness.
