Honda CB description

Very rare early Honda. 1960 CB92 125cc electric start twin in absolutely mint condition and only 118 miles since full restoration. Previously on consignment to Bob's BMW in Maryland for $15,000. Starts immediately with a press of the button and settles into a lopey idle. These were early performance bikes and one of Honda's first exports to the States. Faster than most 250s in their day and capable of 85 mph without the racing kit installed; 90+ mph after installation. Honda's racing team used them to survey the track at the Isle of Mann races when Soichiro Honda decided to go racing. Imported into the States from 1959-62; one of only 288 imported in 1960; (62 in 1959, 288 1960, 246 1961, & 51 in 1962). 

  This bike is fitted with its original engine (fully rebuilt) and runs perfectly. The 4-speed transmission (also rebuilt), shifts smoothly & a new clutch was installed. The electric starter, horn, speedometer, neutral indicator, and head & tail lights all work properly.
  Perfect aluminum alloy gas tank and front fender. Perfect rubber cowling on the gas tank. Show-quality silver & red paint done in acrylic urethane base/clear and then buffed to perfection. The Yokohama tires are beginning to get sidewall cracks but are still usable. Perfect chrome wheels. Perfect side covers. Excellent factory flyscreen. Both seats; the factory red dual saddle and the factory racing style one.      
  Runs exceptionally well and accelerates right up to 80 mph. The ultra rare factory racing kit (dual chrome megaphones, racing seat (currently fitted on the bike), and 14,000 RPM tachometer (with tach cable) is included with the bike along with a box of spares (brake shoes, gaskets, air filter, etc).

One of the Holy Grail Japanese collector bikes with only a handful remaining. Very neat bike.

Casey Stoner Testing The Honda RC213V At Motegi – Video

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

Casey Stoner made a surprise return to MotoGP recently, participating in a two-day test with former employer, Honda. Check out the video below to see the former champ in action. The test took place at the Honda-owned Motegi circuit, where Stoner rode the 2013 model in the morning session before switching to 2014 machinery — the same spec bikes Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez currently pilot — in the afternoon.  Unfortunately, the Australian only managed six laps during the first day of testing due to rain, but completed 47 laps the following day when conditions were much better.

Best Helmet Designs from the 2009 MotoGP Season

Thu, 22 Oct 2009

Unlike with most athletes, motorcycle racers’ faces remain hidden during competition. Except for promotional events or pre- and post-race interviews, the faces of our racing heroes are shielded under protective helmets with tinted visors. You don’t see the same human emotion in their faces like you can when soccer players score a goal or baseball players hit a home run.
