Honda CB description

Winner MUST pick up, I will NOT ship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a 1978 CB750K that I bought off the original owner, in non running condition. I rebuilt the bike about 5 years ago to make it a cafe styled bike. I did not have to tear into the engine, but here is a list of what I did do:
rebuilt the forks, new fork seals
New tires
rebuilt the front brakes
New Front Brake Line
New front brake pads
Newer Throttle Cables, and Clutch Cable 
Adjusted the valves
had the Carbs rebuilt
Changed jet sizes for the cone type air filters and high flow exhaust (not too positive on the type, bought it used on ebay, I think its an old Kerker exhaust, not sure)
Replaced the original tank with a mid 70's tank for a better look (I do have the original tank if you want it)
Repainted the whole bike, including the rims, blacked out engine with polished accents
Replaced the points with a dyna jet pointless ignition
Has the original seat, which has a tear, but I also have a new seat cover that I will include with the bike.

I probably did more, just cant think of it now. I built this to be a daily rider, not a showroom bike. I have put about 5,000 miles on it, including a week long trip to Indiana last summer (2012). It is stored at my folks garage in Kutztown, PA, which is where I will sell it from (the registration expired and its pointless to renew it just to ride it to my house in NJ to sell, plus I don't have a garage - and its always been garaged kept since I rebuilt it. Its an old bike, and it does start up right away once warmed up, but it can be a little hesitant to start when cold, just like most old bikes. I had Clubman bars (cafe style) on it but changed them for the Indiana ride since having the more aggressive stance with clubmans is harsh on my back for such a long ride.

Kenny Roberts Motorcycle Collection Up For Sale

Wed, 25 Apr 2012

Motorcycling legend Kenny Roberts has commissioned RMD Motors to auction off some rare and exclusive motorcycles from his collection, presumably to make room for more. The Japan-based company is known the world over for its collection of rare and classic motorcycles for sale, many of which are retired grand prix machines fortunate enough to escape the fate of most decommissioned racebikes: the crusher.  Headlining the Roberts collection is the 2004 Proton KRV5 originally ridden by Kurtis Roberts, King Kenny’s youngest son. The five-cylinder grand prix machine never achieved much success on the world stage, but will easily make you the center of attention at your local trackday.

Mon, 27 May 2013

Tom Sykes had an outstanding weekend in front of his home fans, scoring a pair of wins at the World Superbike Championship round at the United Kingdom’s Donington Park. The Kawasaki racer led every session from first qualifying onwards, before leading all 23 laps in both races for the double. The double victory brings Sykes to within 4 points of series leader Sylvain Guintoli who had a decent weekend himself with a pair of podium finishes.
