Honda CB description

Fun, versatile, light-weight and very capable standard/naked in good used condition.
Some scratches, could use chain maintenance, but otherwise in great shape and ready to ride.
Being sold completely stock, except gel battery with trickle charge pigtail and newer grips.

If you like to twist the throttle, this could be a candidate for best all-around bike.
Reviewers regularly say the 919 is bulletproof, and does almost everything well.
If you're not familiar with the bike, don't listen to me, just google "919 review," click and read.

Those who want a loud, flashy bike to impress (or annoy) people probably won't appreciate the 919.
But if you want a machine that will impress YOU with its performance, take a closer look...
Unless you've spent a lot of time on a track, this is definitely a better bike than you are a rider. 

NOTICE:  Scratches (shown in worst light in photos w/close-up flash) are there, but not TOO bad.
             Several on tank from older tank bag, one scratch on stator cover from careless maintenance,              one scratch on right aluminum swingarm, and normal wear near foot pegs.
             If this is a concern, please CONTACT me for more details and photos before bidding!

Tires are one year old.  Oil changed this spring.  No fancy oils, but always used quality synthetics.
I got it to ride not to show, but garage kept, well maintained and (somewhat) responsibly used.
As mentioned above, gel battery, battery tender pigtail, and newer grips are only modifications.

NOTICE
: I set it up as a sport-tourer (screen, cases, bar risers...). 

             Since most people prefer it naked, this listing is for the bone-stock 919.
             Stock photo of stock bike included, showing exactly what you'll get when I strip the extras.
             I'll be selling extras separately, so if you want any of them feel free to make an offer.

For sale locally, so I reserve the right to end auction early.

I will NOT make any shipping or packing arrangements, but I WILL work with you to reasonably accommodate arrangements you make and pay for.  I CAN deliver it to within a couple hours of Petoskey MI, to be negotiated after sale (gas money and lunch)

Selling only because I just bought my next bike, an FJR1300, which is a dedicated sport tourer. 
I took the 919 on two 15+hour trips already this season, several more planned. 
That's one thing it doesn't do as well, at least for my old butt. 
I'll miss it though! (In fact, I'll give you $100 off if you let me come visit it once a year!)

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 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!

NZ Superbike Series Points Leader Is A Grandfather Of Three!

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Dennis Charlett is stamping his authority on the New Zealand Superbike championship. The 45 year-old father of five and grandfather of three (no, those aren’t typos) won the first three races of the season during the series opener in Christchurch, placing him firmly at the top of the points standings heading into round two at Levels Raceway, near Timaru. The championship favorite certainly got the wake-up call as Taupo’s Suzuki rider Scott Moir raced to a convincing win in Saturday’s Superbike race, while Charlett was forced to settle for fourth place.
