HONDACB450 Super Sport 1968 - 1969

　　The Honda CB450 was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range manufactured from 1965 to 1974 and powered by a 444cc DOHC straight-twin engine that developed 45 hp.

　　In 1969, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB450 Super Sport, an updated version of the 1967 model that came with several visual and technical improvements and was sold for only one year from 1968 to 1969, while Honda replaced it with the CB450 K2 model.

　　The updates received by the bike included a redesigned fuel tank, a rubber-gaitered fork on the front instead of the sliding metal shrouds previously used, a five-speed manual transmission, and twin speedometer and rev-counter instruments mounted above the headlight.

　　The bike was built around a tubular steel semi-duplex cradle frame with a single front down-tube, which housed a two-way damping adjustable fork on the front and two preload adjustable shock absorbers on the rear that offered optimum suspension performance.

　　In addition, the bike came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as wire-spoked wheels, a one-piece dual seat, a round headlight with a chromed ring, a wide handlebar, an analog instrument panel, a dual chromed exhaust system, and a black-finished steel frame.

　　As for power, the 1969 Honda CB450 Super Sport was set in motion by a 444cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 45 hp with a peak at 9,000 rpm and 38 Nm (28 lb-ft) of torque available at 7,000 rpm.
