The CB72 gets a brief mention inside......

Those are some pretty cool photos!

I'm probably wrong, but it seems to me that the later CB125S engine was based on the Benly, they look VERY similar. Anyone know the history there?

Did you mean CB125S - single or
CB125SS or SS125 twins?

The twins, yes - pretty similar.

Hi,

The the front brake hub is made of magnesium, made by Honda HRC. I'm looking for this bike too, I already have the engine,

The twins, yes. I recall that the cam chain ran up the side, not the middle. The engine certainly looked similar to the Benly!

Jensen, how many of those bikes were made? You have the engine? That's got to be a rare find, indeed!

Hi,

Bikes ? I don't know, But I do know a few of these engines exist, I know at least two, mine and another one from someone else. I also heard a story from a guy that he saw the complete bike as a wrack, and I believe him, since he knows details that are not on the picture.

btw, I'm looking for the front drum (for someone else) in the picture.
