Honda CB description

Beautiful, well maintained 1977 550F Super Sport. Offered only from 75'- 77', this is a hard to find, very nice example of the final year. Dubbed the "Flying French Horn" by Cycle World, this sporting middle-weight does everything very well. Almost as fast as the 750's of the day, but FAR more maneuverable. This bike runs very well, handles superbly, and corners like it's on rails. Purcased from the 2nd owner 2 years ago, ridden very little, and then stored on the enclosed front porch of my home. When I purchased the bike, it had a double step seat installed (included),which I replaced with a factory style race seat ($500 !). Has the orginal muffler, but, like all of them, has some rot on the end. For that reason I purchased a very nice vintage R.C. Racing header muffler. 2nd owner lost the starter button, so he installed a toggle switch instead. However, the stock switch is included for easy conversion back to stock. Also included are new plugs, oil filter, spare cables, stock mint mirrors, owner's manual, and service records. Bike will need a new battery installed. Tires are in very good condition, as is the rest of the bike over all. Could use a good detailing, but a very nice rare vintage bike at a great price. Please feel free to ask questions or for additional pics, and happy bidding !

MotoGP should return to Suzuka

Thu, 14 Jul 2011

Suzuka was always one of the great circuits; unfortunately the Japanese track was dropped following the tragic death of Daijiro Kato in 2003 as the course was deemed too tight and dangerous for the rapid four-strokes. Owned by Honda, Suzuka is a magical place combining arching S-bends from the start of the lap, high-speed in the middle and finished off with the technical and oft racing deciding final chicane, the location of many fantastic last lap battles. However the death of Kato, and Honda’s major hope of a Japanese champion, placed a dark cloud over the 5.807 kilometres of tarmac.

Team HRC’s Joan Barreda on the Honda CRF450 Rally, got off to a storming start in day one of the 2014 Dakar rally, clocking up the fastest time of all the 175 riders at the first time-check. The former Husqvarna rider who moved to Honda in the middle of the season inaugurated his 2014 Dakar with an acrobatic performance. The motorcycle competition was expected to be wide open, and that is indeed what the classification shows after the opening stage. It was a very early start for the Rally Dakar. The pack of riders headed off at four in the morning on a long 251 miles that took them towards the vibrant city of Rosario for the start of the 112 mile special.
