has the big overhead cams,, only has comp on one side,, the owner thinks the rings are stuck on that side,, but I would think it would still have comp... how hard are these too work on,, looks tough with those big cams in the way. otherwise bike is in pretty good cond. I thought the mileage was under 20k. I never heard back from the guy with the 350.

Might be a stuck valve.
agree,,, if a valve were stuck open somehow,, im sure it hasn't ran for yrs. it's elec and kick
use to be honda biggest dog at one time
that's right, speedometer goes to 130,,, if you could hang on to it!
Shouldn't be much different than a SOHC 750 4. Just smaller CC's. has the single cam chain in the middle..can do most work with engine in frame. The 750 was a heavy built motor and I would expect nothing less for the 450 in this year period.
there is a Honda twins website which may be more helpful than the sohc4 website
