A little green Honda
In 2004 I sold my ZR-7S Kawasaki, a bike I couldn’t love, and bought a 1989 GB500 Honda, a rare-ish motorcycle that sold slowly then, but is a collectible modern classic today.
The ‘GB’ stood for Great Britain. The
35-horsepower bike was an homage to older British singles, certain Velocettes or Matchlesses, maybe. The full designation was GB500TT, referring, of course, to the famous race on the Isle of Man, the Tourist Trophy.
A GB500 looks like a 50s
