Honda CA95 review from 1960

Post by Buckets81 »

I've looked through most of the forum and didn't see this posted anywhere. If I missed it, please forgive me. How does this compare to your experiences on this machine? I still haven't had the chance to ride mine so I'm having to live vicariously through third person accounts.

Excellent find, thanks for sharing the link. I like the exploded view of the complete engine on page 89.

I have yet to ride my CA95, so i can't compare the article to any experience, but I'm encouraged by what i read. Maybe I'll know in a few months. The article sure reads like a vintage piece compared to today's articles, where writers feel compelled to try to be humorous or cute.

That is very cool!
I definitely agree with the review, one particular trait that I noticed right away, was the smoothness of the gearbox and ease of shifting through the gears..my first bike was an '81 Suzuki GS400 twin that had nowhere near the slick shifting of my 'Baby Dream'...not bad for a bike that pre-dated it by almost 20 years! ;)
