When we were looking for a smaller twin for the Flying Scotsman earlier this year we turned to the guys at JM Customs to build a lighter and smaller bike to complement the Moto Guzzi V65.
Sitting in the back of their storage was a CB450 that fit the bill perfectly. It wasn't in bad condition, was already running and with a little bit of work, some styling cues from the Flying Scotsman and a few unique touches it was ready to hit the road as "The Star of Jordan."
Like all custom bikes the story behind it and the design cues incorporated as a very personal choice. Some will like it some won't. The beauty of the custom world is that you get something unique to you and no matter how hard anyone tries they'll never copy that exactly.
The Star of Jordan holds a number of personal links for the owner of this beauty, both within family and background that makes this Honda a truly multicultural machine.
