This motorcycle started life as a 1972 Honda CB450 K5, though the Vagabund Moto treatment has given it a completely different identity. Striking the perfect balance of old-school styling and modern touches, this Honda CB450 beautifully captures the spirit of a modern classic.

The bare metal finish on the front forks, tank, engine casings and the headlamp gives the Honda CB450 a raw appeal.
Vagabund has gotten rid of the rear seat, thanks to the shortened rear sub-frame. The LED tail lamps and indicators add a modern feel.
The oil temperature gauge and the quirky Colgate & Co shaving tin highlights Vagabund’s attention to detail.
Vagabund decided to keep a big void right in the middle of the bike, instead of adding a locker box or panelling.
The elaborate instrument cluster was ditched in favour of a tiny speedometer clock, which also gets a digital display.
The meaty front forks, lowered café racer-style clip ons and the rear set footpegs give the Honda CB450 a sporty stance.
The pinstriped dual tone paint scheme brings out the retro appeal of the motorcycle. The handlebars integrate the turn signals.
The rider rests on a wafer thin saddle brown leather seat. The fat tyres and minimalistic rear gives the bike a stanced look.
