Family Rides and Classic Vibes: HONDA GB250 CLUBMAN Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "HONDA GB250 CLUBMAN" custom by Webike community user "Taniyan". The owner bought this GB250 CLUBMAN in 2012 for just 100,000 yen, which he says was cheaper than a bicycle. While it had a bit of rust, a good polish was all it took to bring it back to life. In 2023, he picked up a sidecar from an auction site, also for 100,000 yen. Since then, it’s become a key part of creating family memories—riding pillion with his wife or elementary school-aged son, or taking the sidecar out on touring trips.

The brand he puts his full trust in is Peyton Place. He's outfitted the bike with a stainless Cabton Slip-On Exhaust, front and rear fenders, and headlight brackets from the brand. Their high-end, British-style designs pair beautifully with the CLUBMAN’s character, leaving him very satisfied. The stainless rear fender, in particular, stands out—not only is it stylish, but it also comes with a built-in bar that doesn't disrupt the design. It’s perfect for attaching luggage hooks or for a passenger to hold onto, combining good looks with real practicality. The headlight brackets also match perfectly with his vintage-style headlight. It’s a modest part, but he feels it has a surprisingly strong impact on the bike’s overall look. As for the Cabton exhaust, it delivers a sound that’s powerful without being harsh—pleasing to the ears.

When it comes to seats, the owner recommends the K&H Short Seat. He says it's ideal for those who aren't satisfied with the stock seat but still want to ride pillion. Although it feels much thinner than the stock version, he vouches for its comfort. To address the wind pressure he felt at high speeds, he installed a DAYTONA Aero Visor. Despite its compact size, it offers surprisingly strong wind protection without detracting from the bike’s overall design—something he really appreciates.

This GB250 CLUBMAN is sure to continue being lovingly maintained and remain a cherished part of the owner’s life.
