Honda CB description

Honda 1980 CX500. Clean Illinois title. 15,601 miles. 

I recently purchased this bike from custom builder but decided to start another project. The pictures were taken from the builder in May 2016. Complete walk around video can be seen on YouTube (again by the builder): Just search for Honda CX500 Cafe Racer Nonek 

I can deliver the bike within 50 miles from the Lake Zurich area of Illinois free of charge. Anything beyond that would be up to you. A $500 non refundable paypal down payment is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction. 

 The bike is in excellent condition but here are the blemishes or todo(s): 

- 2 tiny pinhole size dents on the tank, about the size of a sharp pencil head, very difficult to see unless you in the sunlight and looking for it. Even the video does not capture it.

- Seat pan could be secured a little better (just my opinion). 

- Tank, fender and seat pan should be clear coated (again just my opinion). 

- The wire terminal for the rear turn signals broke off the left controls. The wire is intact so you would need to just put on new terminal (about 2cents at radio shack) and attach it back on. 

 - A shorter clutch cable as the extra length puts a extra friction making the pull harder than it should be.

Good luck and bid with confidence as I've been Ebay'er since the year 2000.

475cc NS400R. Marquez and Spencer.

Winter may be here but I seem to be as busier than ever, maybe the economy is finally turning around. At my last UK track day of the year I had some fun testing this little beauty.  It’s a late eighties NS400 triple bored out to 475cc and it felt sweet as I zinged round the GP Arena track at Silverstone.   Being stripped bare to reduce weight gives it a very respectable power to weight ratio which means it could live with 600s (on the twisty bits at least).

Maybe the Evo class is the future for WSB?

Did we see the future of World Superbike racing last weekend at the BSB event? Possibly, but only if everyone is on Evo spec machines in 2012. By setting the 2nd fastest lap in race one and running second for a while in race two, the brilliant Alex Lowes proved that with a good grid position an Evo spec machine can be competitive for part race distance at least.

Rossi vs. Schumacher

When I was a kid, my friends and I would always have this debate on who would be fastest in a race, Superman or the Flash. I always felt that the Flash would be faster because speed’s his thing. He wears a lightning bolt on his chest because he’s as fast as lightning.
