Honda 599 description

Excellent mechanical condition. Mechanic Owned and maintained. 
Just cleaned and synchronized carbs. All service up to date. Reliable. Starts on first crank.
Excellent motorcycle for beginners or advanced riders.
Looks like a Ducati Monster, but without all of the trouble of owning a Italian Motorcycle

Honda Repair manual included w/ full service history
DID X-ring chain (quality chain)
Renthal Street Fighter handlebars
Replaced fork seals 2 years ago
Has had all valve adjustments
Doesn't leak a drop of oil
Just replaced fuel lines and vacuum hoses, air filter
Rear Fender Eliminator 
Carbs just cleaned and synchronized

I owned this motorcycle in California and rode it year round (explains the high mileage). I'm returning to CA, but will buy another moto when I get there to save on shipping. Don't let the mileage scare you, this bike has been meticulously maintained. If you want a reliable motorcycle, you buy a honda - ask anyone who knows motorcycles.

47200 miles

It has a small dent on the tank from when the prior owner went down at low speeds. A couple scratches here and there but it gives it a little character and takes the pressure off being too careful. I had it checked out for structural/alignment damage at a Honda dealer when I bought it at 6000 miles, and they said it was fine.

This is a unique naked bike. It was made in Italy. Because it was imported, it had a higher price than all of its competitors (2004 Suzuki SV650 and Yamaha FZ6). As a result, few US market 599's were sold. However, it was the best of the field. It is very popular in Europe where it is known as the Hornet. 

The engine, as far as I know it, is the same as a carbureted CBR600F3 tuned for midrange. It is one of the last years for carburation and as a result has the well known immediate throttle response that 4 carburetors will give you. As I mentioned earlier, I just cleaned and synchronized the carbs and that is like a $500+ repair. As long as you keep Seafoam in the tank and start it every month or so, you won't have to do that pain-in-the-ass repair again.

It has never been beat on. I've been safely riding for 15+ years but I don't know how to do wheelies nor ever had a desire to do one. 

This is a rare, well maintained motorcycle.
Price is listed or best offer

cash only
test drives permitted with cash in my hand and M license (and preferably a helmet)

email me with any questions

I'm available late afternoons and evenings.

Thanks for looking!

(EDIT: Honda Canada has confirmed the NC700 models will be at the Toronto Motorcycle Show Dec.

2012 Honda Integra Announced; All-New 670cc engine with Dual Clutch Transmission

Mon, 26 Sep 2011

Ed: Honda has recently announced the new Integra engine will be a 670cc engine, not 700cc as previously announced. This post has been updated to reflect this new information. Honda announced it is developing a new series of 700cc 670cc engines and a second-generation dual clutch transmission for motorcycles.

Sportbike VS Rat Bike Drag Race – Video

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

In a revision of the classic hustle of tempting someone with something shiny and new with the easy mark of something old and dumpy, this CBR1000 rider lines up against a 70 hp Harley rat bike in a back alley drag race. What makes this video so compelling is the Honda rider’s unfailing belief in the superiority of his higher-powered, more performance-oriented motorcycle. He lines up against the Harley rider not once, not twice, but three times – only to get his ass handed to him each time.
