Honda CB description
Summary: Vintage Honda in good mechanical condition, decent cosmetic condition, needs nothing, currently registered and ridden in CT (no title).
Bike starts, idles and runs well. Shifts through all gears with no problem. Brakes work well. Lights, horn and directionals all working. Charging system, battery and starter all good. Steering and suspension seem fine.
Oil and filter have been changed only a couple hundred miles ago.
Carbs have been cleaned and vacuum balanced using the Motion-Pro tool, valve clearances are all set to perfection. Cylinder compression is on spec.
Exhaust pipes, shocks and headlight bracket are off another 750K of the same vintage. Wheels, originally chrome, have been painted. Front tire is new; back tire has a lot of miles left.
Chrome fenders have minor pitting but still shine up well. Chrome overall is pretty good.
Front brake upper and lower systems have been rebuilt using OEM parts from Honda.
Seat has been re-covered, tank has been cleaned and lined with POR-15. Tank paint has scratches and wear but no dents.
Side covers are in good shape, matching, with the correct striping for the Excel Black 750K (so many badly repaired/painted covers out there on eBay!)
I have added a "National Cycle Plexifairing 3" windshield ($200) for highway riding (think warm hands in winter).
Bike is sold without title and no title is required in CT (and many other states) for bikes this age.
It was fun cleaning and restoring and riding this machine, but now it's time to say goodbye and get back some room in the garage.
I have lowered the reserve and the buy-it-now, so my loss is going to be your gain. The best riding days of the year are still ahead of us, so don't hesitate...Bid! (Thanks.)

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box
Mon, 10 Dec 2012A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show. On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca. With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem. When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season. We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!
