Swiss Honda-teammember Luigi Taveri on the pillion of a Honda 500 four, early seventies - Robert Pfeffer

Agree it is Luigi Taveri on pillion, the bike is a 750cc Honda four, not a 500cc. Honda did not make a roadgoing 500cc four. - peter coveney

I agree Luigi Taveri on pillion. It is a Honda CB500 Four, Honda did produce a roadgoing 500 Four, it's definitely not a 750, you can tell by the the vertical (not slanted) cylinder block and the trumpet pipes. - Eric Stothard

This is: I concur that Mike is pillioning Luigi Taveri and the motorcycle is definitely the Honda CB500 Four, a lovely sweet running machine, clearly identifiable by the overall size of the bike, the tank finish and unique CB500 Four fluted 4 into 4 exhausts, to my knowledge no other Honda Motorcycle was released with the fluted ends to the mufflers. - Derek Hanbidge

Sorry Peter, it's a CB500 indeedy,I Got one so I should know.... - Yossef Schvetz
