Honda CB description

Bought this as a package of stuff from an old guy cleaning out his garage. He said he bought it 12 years ago and couldn't get it running and he got it from his son-in-law before that and had been sitting a long time when he got it. I merely cleaned the carbs and put some gas in it and fired it up on the first hit. Tires might be the originals. They are old. Clear Ohio title.

This bike has low miles, starts very quickly, runs very smoothly, and shift through the gears easily. That has been the extent of my testing. I'm not a mechanic and my wife wants it gone. However, plan on this needing a going over by a qualified person before being 100% road ready. It seems to be all there. The gas tank and the seat need to be fastened down. Not sure if I have the bolts. Does not come with a battery. 

There are scratches in the paint and fading, dents, and missing right side panel emblem. There is surface rust and pitting on the frame and most of the chrome. Doesn't show up well in the pics. The chrome still shines through as it appears. Small 2" seam starting to pull on seat. Seat overall pretty good shape. Does not leak oil or fluids. Front seals may need some attention. They're a little soft but are air shocks so may need some air. This is a historic, vintage machine and thus sold as is. No warranties. No guarantees. No shipping. Must be picked up at my residence or buyer must fully arrange shipping at buyer expense. This is a no reserve auction. Good luck!

Fresh off a 1-2 finish in the season opener in Qatar, Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi are looking to carry the momentum to CotA.

Quick Impressions on the Honda NT700V

Thu, 01 Oct 2009

UPDATE:  Read the full review of the 2010 Honda NT700V now on Motorcycle.com It should be obvious, but one of the perks of being in the business of evaluating motorcycles is the opportunity to see and ride a huge variety of bikes. Recently, while returning a CRF230M to American Honda’s main offices I spotted the new-to-the-U.S. NT700V sitting amongst the gaggle of bikes set aside for the moto media.

Isle of Man TT 2013: Monster Energy Supersport Race 1 Results

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

Michael Dunlop captured his second victory in the 2013 Isle of Man TT, winning the first Supersport race a day after doing the same in the Superbike race. But it was a different Dunlop that led early on the first lap. Older brother William Dunlop on the Milwaukee Yamaha R6 had the fastest time through Glen Helen, between the ninth and tenth milestones of the Isle of Man’s Mountain course.
