    Greetings, from Clarks Summit, Pa.
    I've promised my family that this is the year I begin to slow down. I'll be 74 in August. I've been riding for over 50 years.

    I currently own 18 cycles, most are Japanese (CB125 to CB1100) along with a couple BMWs (K100 & K1600).

    I want to sell a few of my smaller Hondas, along with a few of my XJs.
    I hope to sell as package deals?...
    71 CL 450 Scrambler & 73 CL350.
    81 750 Seca, 82 650 Seca & 83 900 Seca.

    Asking $2,500 for both Hondas and
    $6,000 for all 3 Secas. Open to offers.

    All are unmodified originals. All but the 450 are running. Clean titles in my name for all 3 Seca. Working on getting titles for both Hondas.

    Pics and videos on request, if any interest?
    Best regards, Bill Geary

    If you could add some pics of the bikes that would really help with the sales. Also, sorry to hear you are reducing the stable, I have been doing the same thing. Hard to do at it has been a life long hobby.

    Very nice collection. How does that K1600 GT ride?

    Thanks for the kind words, guys. It's difficult for me to admit that I no longer have the strength or stamina for long rides. I've lost confidence in my ability to keep myself upright in parking situations. Don't ask me why.

    Having said that, I've thoroughly enjoyed every one of these fine machines over the past several years. Of all the cycles I've owned, (more than 50!) This BMW is in a class of its own!

    It's much too heavy for me to handle in parking situations. But once in motion, it transforms into the finest machine I've ever ridden. It's rock steady at any speed and can be steered with your knees, if you know what I mean.

    Nothing I've ever ridden can put a smile on my face like this machine can. With 160hp on tap, it can be intimidating and requires judicious throttle input when in traffic. Once you get on an open road, it's simply phenomenal. It's by far, the most comfortable cycle I've ever owned. The ride is like nothing else on 2 wheels and can be ridden for hours without fatigue.

    Then there's the sound. I've never heard anything like it on 2 wheels. I just couldn't keep the 3 foot long cannons in place, as I wanted to hear that wonderful sound! It's loud with these shorties, but not obnoxious. I really like the crackle when you let up on the throttle.

    I have all the original parts, including both hard bags, which go with the bike.

    I have more pics and a video of each of these bikes on FB Marketplace. Please go there to check them out...

    Thanks for the review of the BMW, I have added it to my "if it falls into my lap" list. There is also a Triumph Rocket 3 Gen 1 on that list as well. Who doesn't like a little torque and power?

    I'm thinking that Honda CBX sport in the background would look good but I'd settle for the 900 SECA, both are classy bikes.
