Honda CB description

1974 honda cb550. Bike is a 4 owner bike (Including myself). The second owner purchased it in 1977, rode it till 1979, then parked it in his basement tillhe died in 2014. Bike was then sold at his estate auction to the person I purchased it from. That individual decided that it was easier to coat the bike in black spray paint rather than clean off the filth that had accumulated over the last several years, and also caught it on fire while attempting to get the bike running and burnt the front left corner of what been a perfect original seat. I purchased it from him, completely serviced it, and rode it though the summer of 2014 taking the bike from 6000 to 7000 miles. During which time Ittried to remove the spray paint but was unable to do so. I then ran across another bike and then this one became parts for that. Motor and transmission are solid, front fork and boots are in very good condition, seat is decent with the only flaw being the burnt corner, tank and side covers are not original. Tank needs cleaned and coated as it has semi heavy rust inside. side covers are chiped and one has a crack, has no front mastercylinder. Also has no ignition switch or rear grab bar/tail lights. I have the title to the bike but need to obtain copies of the power of attorney paperwork from the lawyer who handled the estate so that it can be transferred. All in all id call this a parts bike. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking.

Biaggi, who arrived in the Czech Republic with four wins and nine podium finishes in ten previous races at Brno, was held off the podium this year, shrinking his lead in the championship to 21 points from 48.

WSBK 2013: Phillip Island Race Report

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Max Biaggi who? The Roman Emperor’s retirement after winning the 2012 World Superbike Championship marked the end of an era for Aprilia, with the 2013 campaign marking the first without Biaggi since the Italian manufacturer came back to the WSBK scene with the RSV4. If Aprilia misses its two-time WSBK Champion, it sure didn’t show it with a dominating display at the 2013 season opener in Australia.

Honda Reports Q1 2011-2012 Results

Tue, 02 Aug 2011

Honda reported a 88.3% year-on-year decrease in net profit over its first quarter ended June 30, 2011, thanks in large part to the March 11 earthquake and ensuing tsunamis in Japan. Honda reported a profit of 31.7 billion yen (US$411.1 million) over the quarter, a fraction of the 272.4 billion yen (US$3.53 billion) reported over the same quarter last year.  The decrease came mainly from a large dropoff in automobile sales. Net sales from the motorcycle division helped keep Honda in the black despite a drop in unit sales.
