This is a cool little bike. Mine is black with 6500 miles on it. I remember going to pick this bike up out of a barn with my dad when I was about 10 years old. The bike was and is relatively flawless and didn't need anything besides a battery. I never had papers or registered it until just last week. When I was in high school I bought a battery and fired it up out of curiosity. That was the first time it was fired up since the previous owner. It ran perfect and still does! I just had been dying to ride motorcycles recently due to the nice weather and I just thought I should fire up the old bikes to keep me busy instead of going out to buy a new one.

The Honda 160 really does scoot around quite nicely. When I hit 4th gear it cruises real comfortable at 40-45mpg. When I need to get out of the way of some traffic or when I dare to jump on the freeway to go to the outside of town it will do 60mph with a good straight flat run. It does this very happily as it seems to keep revving higher and higher. I'm not saying that this little 160cc will go over the mountains but it's a perfect around town bike that will go along on the freeway provided the wind is going your way.

I'll get some pictures up here soon.
