If you’re looking for an inexpensive, low mileage beginner or commuter bike this one is for you!  From what I know and can tell this bike is 100% original.  According to the previous owner, I am the fourth person to own the bike. 

I bought this bike a few weeks ago because I really like the way it looks and because of its overall condition and performance.  The only reason I’m considering selling it is because I’ve put a total of 58 miles on it since buying it and I’ve come to the realization that I probably am not going to have enough time to ride both of my bikes.  If the bike sells for my asking price great, if not I’ll keep it and go through the maintenance this winter.  I have a clear title in hand.

I’ve added gas and installed a new inline fuel filter, that’s it.  The previous owner told me he installed a new battery and the battery does look to be brand new.  That’s really all the history I can provide, I have no maintenance records on the bike.  However, based on the motorcycles performance and looks I think it has been well maintained.  I don’t want to mislead anyone, this is a 30 year old motorcycle and I am sure that there are maintenance items that should be reviewed and completed.  I have both the Clymer and Honda field service manuals in pdf format that I can provide the new owner.  The bike is being sold as-is. 

Here’s what I can tell you:

The bike has started and ran every time I’ve jumped on it. 

The clutch shifts smoothly.

The acceleration is responsive.

The front and rear brake stop the bike quickly.

There’s a small tear on the seat.

The right side front turn signal is cracked.

There are some scratches on the gas tank and rear fender.

There is some bluing and rust on the exhaust headers.

There is some rust and light pitting on some of the chrome.

Everything works, I know of nothing on the bike that is inoperable.

I pasted a link to a video of the bike running so you could hear it.

I am also selling this bike locally and reserve the right to end the auction early.
