Honda CB500 1975
Continuing the recent crop of Honda brochures here's the CB500. The CB500 is a rare model in the UK being overshadowed both by its bigger 750 and smaller 400 brothers.
Cessna G-AYPG in the background was a 1972 Cessna 177. In 1983 it was damaged in a gear-up landing at Coventry airport while on a training flight. This happened again at Haverfordwest aerodrome in 2000. Just interesting that the brochure photo was made in the UK.
