Honda CB description

Up for sale is my 1971 Honda CB750. I've had this motorcycle for 4 years and purchased it from the second owner. The motorcycle runs great. It starts up immediately and idles smoothly. 

The Good:
New battery
Runs, idles smoothly
Tank, chrome, and frame in great shape
Additional oil pressure gauge located on right side of engine
Amsoil full synthetic oil has few miles on it
Tires are in good shape
Brakes work fine
Radiator has been added for long cruises
Clubman handlebars give the bike a cool cafe look


The Bad:
Bike does not come with original exhaust. A sport bike pipe comes with the bike and can be attached
Throttle grip is ripped at the end
Seat has a tear in the seam (after market seats can be found online for around $100)
Small dent at the top of the right side shock
Paint wear where seat meets tank (covered by piece of black electrical tape)

If I were to continue to own this bike for the next 53,000 miles, I would replace the fluids. Besides that, the bike is turnkey and ready to go. I don't think the fluids need to be replaced, but it's always good to do so anyway. 

This is a great bike that's becoming harder and harder to find in good shape. It's got a great, throaty exhaust note without the pipe. It sounds more like a sportbike when the pipe is attached. You will enjoy it.

A postcard from Moto GP Jerez

Fri, 04 May 2012

If the weather over the Jerez Moto GP weekend was dull then the atmosphere in the press room was the complete opposite.  After the carnage and chaos during the Moto 3 race, the amazing Romano Fenati (in only his second GP) had the Italian journalists celebrating as he crossed the line to win. I smiled as they simultaneously began singing ‘Y Viva Espana’ as if to signify the end of Spanish dominance in the junior GP class.

K-Tech release 25SSK for Big Piston Forks

Mon, 21 May 2012

K-Tech have released their popular 25SSK front fork open cartridge system to fit all Showa Big Piston Forks. Here's what K-Tech have to say about them: These lightweight aluminium units are supplied to the same exacting specification as all other 25SSK fitments with 14mm piston rods and a 25mm cartridge tube, the 14mm piston rods displace a large volume of oil through the 25mm control pistons giving enhanced damping characteristics over the standard Big Piston Fork and allow a bigger volume of air for a more precise feel at the bottom of the fork travel. The cartridge kits have compression and rebound adjustment in both legs and are supplied with 1.5mm Flow Control Valves for a more accurate adjustment, all necessary hardware is supplied to convert the Big Piston Forks to take the cartridges but it is necessary to order the springs you require as these are not included, customer price for the 25SSK cartridges is £725.00 + VAT and are available for the following models:- Honda CBR1000RR 2012 Kawasaki ZX6-R 2009-2012 Kawasaki ZX10-R 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR600 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR1000 2009-2012 Contact K-Tech on: +44(0)1283 559007.

Will the road-going RCV look like this?

Thu, 25 Oct 2012

Honda announced in a dry-as-you-like press release that a new bike was coming.  Not another motorcycle-cum-medical aid like the DN-01 or Integra, this is going to be a proper bike. A bike in a similar vein to previous bikes in the RC series, the RC30, RC45 and RC51, aimed squarely at winning races. So what's it going to look like?
