Honda CB description

Up for auction is this beautiful 7/1970 Honda CB175 Super Sport. Bike starts, runs and rides great. Newer tires, newer AGM battery, and newer electronic ignition system from Charlie's place. It has been really nice to run without points. Starts easier, runs smoother. Local vintage motorcycle shop went through the carbs this spring, and also replaced old worn steering bearings with new tapered roller bearings. They did the ignition install, too. Have receipts, more photos. I'm the 3rd owner, will also include a vintage Clymer manual. Not original paint, kinda cracked in a few spots. Side covers are a bit faded but not damaged. Missing one emblem from tank. Inside of tank is beautiful clean metal, not a speck of rust. Chassis has some grime and grease, could use a good professional detailing. Chrome is good, will clean and polish nicely. Original airboxes, I just cleaned them up and re-assembled when I got the bike. I bought it this winter and I've put 900 miles on it this year. Have changed the oil 3 times, never gets low or even dirty. Brakes work well, clutch is a little stiff but it works fine. 5 Speed trans shift smooth. Has neutral light. High, low beam and light off switch all work. Turn signals, horn works. Electric start, cranks great from the AGM battery. Kickstart is damaged, though, does not work. Honestly have never needed it. The seat is really nice but does have one small hole in it.

BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING. IF neaby though, I could load it in my truck. I'd be willing to go 100miles around the Detroit area, for a small fee. 

I don't want to deal with your shipper, or your shipper's check for too much money, or your payday advances, or your brothers cousins wife or any crap like that. You want the bike, bid on it and have a plan to get it home. Catch a plane, ride it home!!

This bike has a ton of potential for a new rider or for a race bike or to be torn and stripped down to something crazy. Great lightweight chassis to start from. Gets me to and from work for now so miles will go up about 70 per day. Send questions to pnuoffer@gmail.com

Thanks for looking, happy bidding!

MotoGP to Hold Official Test in Argentina; South American Nation Returning to Calendar for 2014

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

Dorna Sports announced there will be a MotoGP test at Argentina’s Circuito Internacional Termas de Rio Hondo in July to allow teams to prepare for the track’s expected addition to the 2014 MotoGP calendar. Argentina was actually supposed to join the MotoGP tour this season, but the round was scrapped because of a dispute between the country and Spain after the Argentine government seized control of a Repsol subsidiary. Repsol is, of course, a prominent sponsor of several teams including Honda‘s factory team.

METZELER'S Z8 Interact sports-touring tyre has been classed as the best wet weather sports-touring tyre by the German Motorrad TestCenter. Metzeler decided to develop new compounds for the Roadtec Z8 Interact precisely to meet these needs, tyres with the specific goal of providing riders not only the most recent technological solutions available in the area of wet performance, but also the possibility of having a tyre with a wide range of use that represents the new standard in terms of performance in any weather conditions, from wet and cold to hot and dry. The criteria considered in the wet test by Motorrad TestCenter have been: steering precision and characteristics, line holding during acceleration, ease of handling, grip at lean angle for front and rear tyres, grip during acceleration, limit range characteristics, feedback at lean angle, braking stability during full braking with ABS.
