A second hand Honda CB450 can sometimes be purchased on eBay or on Craigslist. It is more likely that it can be purchased from a motorbike dealer because then it is easier to check it thoroughly before purchase.
Motorcycle rental is not as widely available as car rental and the providers have relatively limited stock. Racy Rentals in Los Angeles, for example, only hires one Honda bike and it is not the CB450.

Rebuliding a Honda CB 450 DX Need to know the ammount of fork oil required in each fork leg.
mine holds 2 and a half gallons of fuel, and 3 quarts of oil. I drive a 1985 450
I have a 1974 cb450 and it calls for 10w40 oil 3qts. yours should be the same . Use motorcycle oil as it is designed for the higher engine temperatures. Pure synthetic bike oil is not recommended as it leaks out more easily and can cause clutch slippage.
The 1973 Honda CB450 typically requires about 10.5 to 11.5 ounces of fork oil per fork leg, depending on the specific model and any modifications. It's important to use the correct viscosity oil, usually around 10W, for optimal performance. Always refer to the service manual for exact specifications and guidelines when servicing your forks.
The Honda CB450, produced from 1965 to 1974, primarily featured two different cylinder head designs throughout its production run. The original model had a more traditional head design, while later iterations, such as the CB450K5, showcased improvements in performance and efficiency. Overall, the variations in heads largely stemmed from updates and refinements rather than entirely different designs.
