Honda CB description

Up for auction is my nice and original 1972 Honda CB500 four with 20,728 miles. This bike is a true survivor in my opinion. I also have a clear PA title in my name.

The engine fires right up and quickly settles down to a nice idle. Absolutely no engine oil leaks, exhaust smoke, or engine issues the I am aware of. Oil was just changed. The bike rides beautifully and shifts perfectly. Clutch works great, the clutch lever pull is easy and the bike pulls out very easy. Carburetors are spot-on, no hesitation or sputtering, no issues hot or cold. Fires right up on all cylinders and runs evenly on all 4 cylinders.

All the paint and chrome is original and in very nice shape considering its age. Tank paint has a few light scratches and imperfections. Inside of tank is like new with no sealer or issues. The tank and chrome parts have no dents, rust, or repairs. 

Original exhaust is still intact. Pipes show nicely for their age. Right lower pipe has acid staining, only noticeable when you kneel down and look under the bike. Chrome on pipes is nice with no rust or dents. Not quite as bright as the rest of the chrome on the bike.

Both tires are nice and have plenty of life left. The rims and spokes are in excellent condition. The brakes work perfect. Suspension works great as well, no shock leaks or fork seal leaks. Front master cylinder appears to be from a later model bike, fits and looks like a factory one. The original tool kit is present, however I think some tools are missing. All the lights work from all switches. Electric start operates perfectly. Gauges operate, the lenses are very slightly cloudy on inside of glass. The seat cover is aftermarket and has a small tear, the seat latch is broken, and the left front turn signal lense is incorrect. 

Overall a very nice and clean original bike. This bike is ready for the road. There is nothing quite like riding a perfect running vintage 4 cylinder Honda. You won't be disappointed. 

I am willing to ship the bike anywhere in the world. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangements to have bike picked up at my location. If you have less than 20 feedback please contact me prior to bidding.

Dovi given the 1000fps treatment

Fri, 22 Jul 2011

Andrea Dovizioso describes the perfect lap from the start to the corners. All three of the Repsol Honda riders have very different riding styles and comparing the above footage of Dovi against Stoner you can see that he is a lot more conservative on the bike than a ragged lap of his Australian team-mate. Still incredibly rapid though.

Day 3 Dakar 2014: Barreda Maintains Overall Lead, Despres Catches Up

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

Joan Barreda won his second special stage this year and now boasts a lead of more than 13 minutes over Cyril Despres and Marc Coma, the two other beneficiaries of a particularly decisive stage. Today’s stage, part one of the first marathon stage with no team service, was characterized by the highest ever racing altitude in Dakar history. Facing the 22,841 foot summit of the Aconcagua, South America´s highest mountain, the motorcycle riders had to cross a pass over 14,107 feet in elevation in trial-like conditions.

2013 Repsol Honda Team Livery Revealed

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Repsol Honda revealed the livery off its RC213V racebikes and leathers of riders Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez for the 2013 MotoGP season. The livery is again dominated by the colors of the team’s top sponsor, Spanish oil giant Repsol, but with more white and less black, particularly along the bottom of the fairing. The Repsol logos on the sides now slope downward toward the swingarm whereas the previous design had them rising up toward the seat.
