Default Help me find this bike - I am in love!

GB500. Honda 500cc thumper that was sold for 2 years in the us - 89-90 I believe. Also known as the Tourist Trophy. Anyways - let me know if anyone has a lead on one of these - they are rare as rocking horse **** or hens teeth, and I have told my dad if he finds one of these in decent condition for me - he can have my new SV.

GB is a very nice little bike, you wont break the sound barrier, but you wont be embarrassed riding her either

ahhhhh i miss my old GB.

if you get one though, be prepared for float valve problems and oil leaks. i was told that's a very common problem for this particular bike.
