Honour Honor.

[Upt' North]

She was one of "us", a Honda Rider, yes Honor Blackman of course.
Better remembered for her role in Goldfinger, she started her riding as a dispatch rider during WW2.
But I think she rode for most of her life.
Bless er.

She was also well known as Cathy Gale in the original Avengers, riding her (Gold Flash?) 650 BSA by us old gits....!

She also owned a summer home in Islesboro, Maine which is just under a 5 hr drive from me. (4 hrs if you include the international time difference as it's in the US)

Summering near me is not one of her famous facts though

Considering her role as a Bond girl in the 60's her character's name was VERY risque!

RIP fine lady.

Ahhh...my favourite Bond girl.

from Wikipedia....

In the film, Galore is first seen when Bond wakes up in Goldfinger's private jet, having been knocked out with a tranquiliser gun by a Goldfinger henchman. He is lying on a couch when he regains consciousness, and since the first thing he sees when he opens his eyes is her stunning blonde-framed visage leaning over him, the dialog runs as follows:

James Bond: Who are you?
Pussy Galore: My name is Pussy Galore.
James Bond: I must be dreaming.

Her bike looks like a CB200 with that tank pad behind the gas cap. A school mate had one back in the day, when I had my Suzuki TS125 enduro.
His looked exactly like this: https://classic-motorbikes.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/12966.jpg
Did any other Hondas use that tank pad? I don't recall any.

I'd agree it does look like a CB200 and I can't recall anything like it on any other Honda of its time.
I'd be guessing late 70's, early 80's.

Definitely a CB200 - this was made from 1973-1976 and also came in a tasteful lime green!

Eric, when you're right you're right.
And this is what happens when you mix a Lime CB200, an angle grinder and Hallucinogenic drugs.
Something our lovely Honor would never do. I know it's a black and white piccie but I'd say that was a red one.

She was a dish - that is for sure.

It should be....

The other colour was orange in the UK, but red may have been available elsewhere. It was a good little bike that replaced the CD and CB175 models in 1973.
