Honda CB description

I purchased this CB350 K4 road racer recently an a whim, with the intentions of racing it.  The reality is, I'm not going to be doing any vintage road racing any time soon, so I am reluctantly offering it for sale as to not punish the bike to years of collecting dust in my garage.  I did not build this beautiful machine, I will do my best to describe it.  I purchased it from the son of the builder, who as I am told was an elderly man that has since passed away.  The gentelmen who built the motorcycle spared no expense creating a gorgeous and very well built out race bike, but was unable to ride it.  The bike has sat for nearly a decade before I got it.  I have not taken the bike or motor apart, but just by poking around I have seen that there are:
- Todd Henning Race pistons (attached pic of top of piston through plug hole)
-PVL/Motoplat elctronic/batteryless ignition
-copper racing head gasket
 -Todd Henning Race Exhaust
 -Bucchanan's built Akront rims/stainless spokes
-Upgraded Yamaha front brake  (same diameter as stock, but wider braking shoes)
-Modified front forks and triple trees
-Complete unmounted Drixton style fairing and front fender (brackets are built and included)
-Avon racing tires (old and need replaced)
-Alloy rear Sets
-Feather light Alloy works style tank (I did take it off to look under)
-Racing seat
-Progressive Rear Shocks
-Fully adj clip on bars
-Mikuni Carburetor Conversion

The builder's son believed the top end to be upgraded too, with racing cam and valves, but I have not opened the motor and cannot verify.  Clutch, brakes, and transmission all work as they should.  I am very tempted to put gas in it and try and fire it up, but there is no kill switch and I'm not sure how to wire one onto these earlier analog pvl systems.  I've started race bikes without kill switches before and learned my lesson!  Don't do it!

Please see the pics closely and ask questions.  I wish I had more information on this bike.  My opening bid is most likely much less than the builder put into the motor alone.  This is an amazing opportunity to buy a nearly completed racer that should not only look amazing, but perform amazingly too.  I believe the next owner only needs to safety wire and add an inner rear fender to be on the track.  This is  race bike and has no title....BILL OF SALE ONLY.

Shipping is buyer's responsibility, I have worked with shippers before-should not be a problem!

Joey Dunlop on a V4 Honda at the '83 TT

Fri, 28 Sep 2012

Onboard video footage doesn't get a lot better than this: Joey Dunlop during practice at the TT in 1983 onboard a factory Honda RS850R. An 859cc ultra-short stroke V4 Honda that Joey mastered around The Island, later winning the TT Formula 1. Although the 'production' race, the RS850R stretched that to the limit.

A Dizzying Lap Of Imola + Video

Wed, 14 May 2014

Nilox, 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.

Surely more wins are on the cards for Seeley and the 2011 Gixer?

Thu, 02 Jun 2011

The amazing Alex Lowes is deservedly grabbing all the attention in the BSB paddock at the moment, but I believe last year’s top Superbike rookie, Alistair Seeley is doing an equally impressive job in the Supersport class. Although he looks ten years younger, thirty one year old Seeley  is riding one of only two 2011 600 GSXRs (fellow countryman Marty Nutt is on the other) in the class. Alistair has finished on the podium four times including a race win at the opening Brand Hatch round and currently lies second in the championship.  He also took victory on the Gixer in the only race run at the North West 200 last month and was looking like the runaway winner last Sunday at Thruxton until electrical gremlins struck after opening up a seven second lead.
