HondaGB500.com, a community for the great Honda GB500 Motorcycle and for all Cafe Racer enthusiasts!
Welcome to the HondaGB500.com website. It's now been over a month since I launched the new website and the number of visitors is increasing daily. I want to invite all GB500 owners and motorcycling enthusiasts to visit the site often and consider contributing your stories, photos and support to the site.
Everyone can join for free and everyone is welcome to post in the forum. If you would like to submit articles for publication, please first join and/or send me an email. I'll be happy to make you a contributor.

This is "your" website and it will grow only if everyone participates.
