Nice pics!
Looks to me like the red-line was just shy of 10,000 rpms! Very cool.

I recall my '73 Honda 350 CBR 4-cyl. Red-line was something like 13,500 rpms!

 

classic, yet ugly

 

Ugly??? Oh man! I'd be proud to be driving one of those today! (In addition to my '02 S2000 of course!) Yes, definitely classic...and still very stylish (in a retro sorta way) today I think.

 

I don't understand the "ugly" comment. Oh well beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I think it's classic and fantastic. I'd love to have one.

 

very classic and I don't think is ugly...

that is a very important car of Honda.

(seriously, where is the ugly part? the style is so classic both exterior and interior, similar to other roadster like MGB, Truimph at that time.)

my Honda dealer (Diamond Bar Honda) has a S800 in the show room

 

having the side view mirrors on the fenders says it all to me, nothing but a classic!!!

 

yeah...i had a s600 and while cute it was buzzy and a bit skittish ...any of my old abarths[based on fiat 600 platforms] could eat one alive...also had a 350-4 and while a bit hard to start in the cold, it was all around the best bike of the era i rode.....my buddy had a kawi triple,and that's quite another story....

btw..cool steering wheel on the honda!!![tho the abarths all had nardis]

 

Hey, you still meet the nicest people in a Honda.

 

Very nice. I think it's great to go back and look at how different marketing has become in our society.

Just the other night, I was going through a file cabinet here in my house and came upon a TIME magazine from '86 (?) of the Challenger disaster! I flipped through the magazine and it was interesting to see how much has changed. There is a large Oldsmobile (Royal 88) on the ad and I can only imagine it was very sweet back then. Of course, now it's just gracing the front of a trailer park community!
