Saturday 28th September 2019, 10am to 4pm at The David Silver Honda Collection museum, Leiston Suffolk

Following the great success of our 2018 CB750 event, we will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the start of the Honda SOHC 4-cylinder models in 1969, with a special event to be held at our Honda museum on Saturday 28th September 2019. Having first gone on sale in 1969 with the original CB750, Honda went on to produce a series of many other iconic models based on the same SOHC engine concept and this event will celebrate 50 great years of all Honda SOHC 4-cylinder models.

The FREE admission event is open to all enthusiasts and for those with an eligible Honda model, a contest will be held to find the ‘Best-in-Class’ across 10 different categories. The special day will feature the following:

• Unique display of an expected 100 plus Honda SOHC Four’s from 1969 to 1982!
• Judging & Awards Ceremony with 10 different sponsored ‘Best in Class’ awards.
• LIVE 1970s style rock music
• Open to all ‘Honda History Quiz’ – with a top prize!
• FREE entry to the event with free car & motorcycle parking.
• FREE admission to our museum with c.200 pre-1992 Honda’s on display!
• Hot/Cold food & drink refreshments available.
