slow noisy bad brakes ? a Honda 600?

[Steve]

Slow by what standards? It's not a V8 but you can pass up a 1200cc VW
Beetle going up a hill. Noisy? hmm, maybe valve adjustment? missing
the carpets or headliner or air filter? Bad Brakes? It just sounds
like your car has been abused and needs some service. Normally a Honda
600 is quiet, handles well, has sufficient power for flatland drivers,
brakes are excellent even with only 7" discs and drums.
Let us know where you are and we can find you a local mechanic
(probably)

I recently purchased a 1972 Honda N600 that is in very good condition
and that I am using as a daily driver. As you all know, it is slow,
noisy, and does not brake very well. Are there any ways to improve
any
of these conditions?

Does anyone know of any Mechanics in the New York City Area that do work on 600's? I have a Coupe in need of more than I can give, which ain't much...
Thanks,
-Mike
