Honda Honda description

This project was completed over the course of two years, no deadline, no rushing, no budget. There was a lot of time spent removing everything possible off of the frame, hiding wiring, fabbing electrical compartments and smoothing out all joints before paint. There was also a good deal of mock ups and fabrication rerouting the exhaust and creating the tail section to house the muffler. Motogadget relays and switch gear, vintage microphones housing a tail light and high intensity fog light, etc.

Here's a list of modifications:

Aermacchi gas tank and modified tail section
Tail houses Cone Engineering muffler
Vintage microphones - headlight and tail light
Frame chopped, de-tabbed, all joints re-welded and smoothed
New header with custom mid pipe
Mikuni 36mm roundslide with custom made velocity stack
Custom fabbed carb manifold
Vortex clip ons
Progressive shocks and springs
Steel-braided brake lines
Vintage Honda racing paint scheme
Ballistic battery
Motogadget switches and relays
Custom seat upholstered by New Church Moto
Modified footpegs
New controls, master cylinder and reservoirs
Turn signals mounted to passenger peg mounts

Note:
- Compact. If you're interested in this motorcycle, know that it is very compact. If your inseam is over 30" or you're over 180lbs you are going to be cramped.

2013 Honda CB500F, CB500X and CBR500R Recalled in Australia

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

Honda has recalled its 2013 CB500F, CB500X and CBR500R models in Australia because of a defect that could cause an oil leak. At the moment, no recall has been announced for the U.S., though there is a good possibility one will be announced shortly, as all 500-series models are manufactured in the same Honda factory in Thailand. There is a similar recall for the Japanese market for the CB400F, CB400X and CBR400R, which are mechanically identical to Honda’s 500-series models, but with a smaller engine to meet the country’s tiered licensing requirements.  According to the Australian and Japanese recall notices, the rocker arm shaft sealing bolt may come loose, causing oil to leak from the engine.

Things I wouldn't like to race: Part 1

Mon, 25 Jul 2011

Now I know that Mike Hailwood raced a 6-cylinder Honda but that's no excuse for this CBX I spotted at the Bikers Days Spa Classic. The 1047cc, inline 6 cylinder, 24 Valve, DOHC Honda might be a feat of engineering brilliance but it looks like it would be a right handful on track. I've added a picture of an oil tanker to give you an idea of just how long the CBX's wheelbase really is.

Asia-Only Honda VTR250 Gets Half-Faired Variant for 2013

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

Honda‘s CBR250R has done fairly well for itself since its introduction in 2011, helping to revitalize the entry-level segment of the market in the U.S. What some people may not realize is Honda has been producing a 250cc-class called the VTR250. Available in its current form since 1997, the Honda VTR250 is a naked standard with a Ducati Monster-esque trellis frame offered in the Asia-Pacific region.
