Honda CR description

This custom 1979/80 Honda C & J XR500  was built a few years ago and has been sitting in the garage since.  Bike had about 1 hour of ride time to make sure it was mechanically sound before being stripped back down and powder coated RAL 3020 to perfectly match the VMX racing Tahitian Red plastics.  Tank, frame, plastics, and custom made side panels graphics match perfectly.  Every piece/part on this bike was carefully thought out to try and replicate that 1970's factory Honda Racing look.  Donor bike was a very clean, well-cared for 1979 Honda XR500 from Nevada, bike showed no signs of rust or corrosion which made for a perfect parts bike for this project.  Jeff Cole, from C&J Racing Frames, built this frame/swingarm, it is brand new and has been updated slightly from the earlier versions from "back in the day".  I have all the proper paperwork/receipts from C&J and have a Washington State title from the donor bike. Apparently, Team Honda had several of these factory bikes built back in the day in which Johnny "O'show" O'Mara won the 1980 4 Stroke Nationals on his famous Mugen "White Bike".  The tank is a dent free, restored 1978/79 CR250R Elsinore.  Has new repod seat pan, foam, stainless mounts, and custom gripper seat cover.  The 43mm front Showa forks have been rebuilt by EVO suspension; they are from a 1983 Honda CR250R; as well as the front wheel, front double-leading brake (best drum brake ever built), and triples.  Has new Renthal bars, grips, billet kill switch, billet gas cap, RC factory replica billet tank washers, aluminum shifter, IMS wide footpegs, Works Connection hour meter, Wiseco piston (cylinder still original bore), Applied one-piece top bar clamp, Applied oil breather hose, FastGuyStuff decals, front Buchanan spokes, TM36 Mikuni flatside carb, Magura clutch/brake perches/levers, Motion Pro clutch/throttle cables,  DC Plastics transluscent front brake/fork covers and mud flap, Sunstar aluminum sprocket, Renthal Gold chain, VMX Racing billet chain guide, NOS Supertrapp, custom stainless steel mid pipe and I believe a used White Bros. exhaust. The hubs, top triple clamp, and DID corrosion free rims were powder coated a semi-gloss black. Bike has many new OEM and aftermarket nuts/bolt.  The very best Works Performance rear shocks were custom built just for this bike.  Bike handles awesome; feels and handles like a newer bike, even through the whoops!  I spent many, many hours building this bike to the highest standard.  I've had many compliments on this build.  The day I test rode it at the track it attracted a lot of interest in the pit.  This is about as good as it get's for a C&J XR500.  AHRMA, Horsepower Factory, HPF

Honda Playing It Dodgey with Corona and Hodgey?

Tue, 03 Feb 2009

A Feb. 2 report from Roadracingworld.com states that American Honda has found Neil Hodgson a place to race in the 2009 AMA American Superbike Championship. This new place should feel a lot like his former American Honda home.

Motorcycle Beginner Diary: What I Love About Being a Motorcyclist

Mon, 06 Jun 2011

Hey folks, it’s Dennis here, Motorcycle.com‘s Designated Newbie. As documented in our Motorcycle Beginner articles (and if you haven’t read them yet, check out the Related Reading links below!) we’re taking a look at the new rider experience and what it means to be a motorcyclist. I’ve had a couple of weeks’ worth of riding on the new Honda CBR250R (more on that in our next Motorcycle Beginner article) and so far I’m having a blast.

Pedrosa, Marquez, Bradl Talk About Racing, Motorcycles, And Each Other

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

In order to use footage from a Dorna-sanctioned MotoGP test session — say, for marketing or promotional reasons — a team must receive approval from Dorna. The process is tedious, and even if permission is granted, there are strict limitations as to what the material may or may not be used for. So when Honda decided to conduct its own private test (which Yamaha also joined), at the Circuit of the Americas, it was free from any and all Dorna mandates.
