Honda CB description

1974 Honda CB750 in decent daily rider condition. Has current DC title & registration in seller's name and is street legal. It's a real head-turner with a vintage style that stands out from anything else on the streets these days.

Bike has many upgrades, including:
  • Electronic ignition
  • High-output coils
  • Solid state rectifier
  • Entire new wire harness
  • New fuse box
Cosmetics are good enough to turn heads as you ride by. 4/4 exhausts were replaced with NOS parts in 2001 and are intact with no holes. Seat was recovered and has no tears. Side covers have no cracks. Tank has no dents; there is a quarter-inch chip in the paint on the left-hand side. Chrome has age-related pitting but no significant rust.

See it in action:
  • Running at idle and revving: https://youtu.be/n--NyvM7zXI
  • Riding up and down the alley: https://youtu.be/eLJuw6gbVQc
Wear & Tear:
  • Bike has been garage-stored unused for about 2 years and will benefit from a tune-up. It takes a while to get started when cold and the low idle gets erratic. Bike is fully-rideable once warmed up.
  • You can hear the front brake squeaking in the 2nd video; this generally disappears after riding a few minutes. 
  • The starter solenoid must be replaced. Starter motor works just fine if you jump the solenoid terminals with a screwdriver. This is a $35 part.
  • Tank interior has normal rust pitting from age and should be treated/lined at some point.
Bottom line: it's an old bike that's been idle for a while and needs a little TLC--but way less than a restoration. Contact me with specific questions and for more details.

This is a moving sale. My new place doesn't have a garage and vintage bikes don't fare well living in the open on city streets. Bike can be picked up in SE DC, near Eastern Market. I cannot deliver or ship; buyer must arrange for all transport after the sale.

2014 LA Calendar Motorcycle Show Concourse d’ Elegance Report

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

The 2014 edition of the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show continued its now 23-year tradition as the premier outdoor streetbike event in America with producer photographer Jim Gianatsis moving the show this year to the beautiful green lawns of the Malibu Golf Course among the twisty canyon roads in the Santa Monica Mountains alongside the Pacific Ocean. Highlighting this year’s exciting activities was the emergence of another new and soon to be renown custom bike builder to the sport for which the Calendar Show is known for cultivating. Taking Best of Show in this year’s Calendar Bike Building Championship was Calin Senciac’s Imagine Vehicles International / ImagineVehicles.com motorsports fabrication shop with an incredible custom billet aluminum designed chassis built by Terry Ward and the shop crew, housing a legendary 1979 Honda CBX 1047cc air-cooled in-line 6-cylinder engine.

The North East,Prescott and fast laps with Chris Walker at Mallory

Thu, 26 Apr 2012

A big thanks to all at Newcastle Motorcycles for lending me a Honda CB1000F on Saturday to do nothing other than join mates for a blast round some fantastic roads in the North East. The buddies in question were Alan Smith (Bradley’s dad) and two stroke addict and race fan Chris Berriman. We headed east over the moors from the ‘Toon’ heading towards Barnard Castle then back through Consett before finishing up at the picturesque Tynemouth.

Jefferies' TT V&M R1 for sale

Tue, 26 Apr 2011

We got a tip-off about a former David Jefferies TT R1 for sale on eBay. The owner says it's from the 1998 TT but I'm pretty sure it was the one he raced in 1999. Here's a little bit more background about the V&M TT effort in 1999: In 1990 Jack Valentine gave up racing to concentrate on running V&M Racing, and after being sacked by Honda at the end of the 1998 season, the team set about to do some giant killing.
