HONDA CB450 K0 SUPER SPORT, BLACK BOMBER - TASTEFULLY RESTORED, CLEAN TITLE AND READY TO RIDE!
**** NO RESERVE AUCTION ****
HIGHEST BIDDER TAKES IT HOME!!
****
The
CB450 K0 Super Sport is the first model Honda 450. Also known as the
"Black Bomber". It was Honda's largest displacement motor and flagship
racing bike after winning first place, three years in a row, at the Isle of man
race, 500cc class; 1965, 1966 & 1967. A revolutionary engine design using
double over head cams and torsion bar valve springs yielded 43 BHP @ 10,000+
RPM! This model bike established Honda as a world class motorcycle manufacturer
by defeating European dominance of the market.
This
is an excellent example of that iconic machine because of it's original 4 speed
engine and overall excellent condition. It starts
right up, idles smoothly, runs strong and rides well through all four gears. A
recent restoration was performed while maintaining a visible patina and
signs of age. The engine was removed, cleaned and detailed. The frame was thoroughly
cleaned and painted. The silver fenders and side
covers have been painted to match, as best as possible, Honda's original color.
The original gas tank has been cleaned and epoxy
coated inside. The outside of the tank was painted to match original. The original
chrome tank covers shine like new. The tank badges are quality reproductions.
The rubber knee pads are in excellent condition. The headlight bucket mounted
speedometer and sealed beam unit are in excellent original working condition
and unique to the K0 model. However, the tachometer has recently stopped
working. The original handlebars, controls, switches, steering stabilizer,
mirrors and levers, all look good and work properly. The exhaust system is very
clean and the chrome shines well. The mufflers are quiet at idle and roar at
high RPM, like they should. The seat has been restored with a quality
reproduction cover and strap. The original strap buckles are re-chromed and
rivets replaced. The seat hinges are old original rubber mounts and need
replacing to operate properly, but they still work fine for me. The stock air
filters and rubber boots are in good working condition. The clutch works fine
without noticeable slippage. The front and rear brakes work fine. The
headlights, taillights, gauge lights, electric starter, kick starter and
charging system work properly. Along with Honda's original "Elephant
Horn" that sounds great! The wiring harness is in good unmolested
condition. The original grey cable housings are in good condition and work
properly. The rims are true and shine well with some small rust spots. See The close up picture of the worst spot on the rim. The
vintage Cheng Shin tires have good tread and clean sidewalls with no cracking
or leaks.
The following additional services were recently performed:
Original carburetors were cleaned and adjusted
New spark plugs installed
Oil changed
Valves adjusted
Petcock cleaned and rebuilt with new seals
New battery
New chain
New handlebar riser bushings
Front and rear brakes cleaned, lubed and adjusted
This
Honda Black Bomber is in excellent condition with a beautiful patina and would
make a fine addition to any collection. At almost 50 years old, it should make a sound investment that will only appreciate in value over
the next few years. I have been a Honda enthusiast for 30+ years and always
dreamed of owning a Black Bomber. This bike has been a great fulfillment of
that dream. I have enjoyed riding it and always got lots of comments from
people admiring the bike. It's true what they say, "You meet the nicest
people on a Honda". However, due to my current financial situation, it is
time to pass it on to another rider that can give it a good home. This is a
true auction with no reserve, highest bidder helps out a fellow enthusiast and
gets to ride my bike home! Thanks for bidding!
Clean California title in my name, pink slip in hand. Registration
is on Planned Non-Operational status with no back fees due.
Frame # CB450-1020108
Engine # CB450E-1017824
I have tried to describe this motorcycle as best as possible. I am not an expert and statements made by me are based on my limited personal knowledge of the bike and should be considered my opinion. This bike is 47 years old and it's condition should be considered to be consistent with a vehicle of that age. It does not look showroom new. It has rust spots, dings scrapes and scratches, but still looks wonderful. This bike is being offered for sale "As Is and Where Is" and the sale is final with a no return policy.
If
you need further information, feel free to ask me a question.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING!!!

Shawn Higbee Wins On The Brough Superior Taylor Made Racing Moto2
Thu, 01 May 2014In only its second race appearance, the Brough Superior Taylor Made Racing Moto2 bike competed in the WERA F1 and B Superbike events on April 27th at the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana, California, run in conjunction with the first round of the GEICO Superbike Shootout, presented by Yamaha. During the F1 race, rider Shawn Higbee moved up to as high as 2nd place from a 5th row start on the Brough Superior TMRGP2 bike. The TMRGP2′s lightweight all carbon fiber chassis and 600cc Honda powerplant demonstrated impressive cornering speed on the tight infield sections but could not match the top speed of the heavily modified 1000cc F1 bikes on the long straights. On the last lap Higbee was shuffled back to 4th place at the finish line.
A Dizzying Lap Of Imola + Video
Wed, 14 May 2014Nilox, the action camera sponsor for World Superbike, makes it a point to film an on-board lap of each track on the calendar before each race weekend. A few weeks ago we brought you footage of Giuliano Rovelli lapping a Honda CBR1000RR SP around Assen. This week Rovelli is back, this time aboard a Kawasaki ZX-10R, giving us a rapid tour of Imola, the track made famous by the tragic passing of Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna 20 years ago, and also by the legendary battle between Troy Bayliss and Colin Edwards in 2002 which decided the championship.
