Honda CB description

I am selling my 1975 Honda CB 500 T.  I have too many bikes to ride but letting go of this one is especially hard.  This bike is not a restoration; it is a survivor that sat covered inside for decades. It was bought from an estate sale with less than 300 miles, then brought back to life; new oil, gas, carbs rebuilt, battery and lubrication.  It is in exceptionally well preserved condition and has 1388 miles, of which I have driven over 900.

I was in the process of restoring another 500 T when I located this bike.  I put a newly painted tank and side covers on this bike but still have the originals.  Everything works on this bike.  It still feels tight and new.  There are no leaks, it starts easily with either the electric or kick starter, it doesn't smoke, it runs and idles smoothly.  I had the clutch replaced just from age.  This Honda drives like it was from the dealership in 1975. The seat is like new, the tires are original and in great shape.  There is some pitting on the chrome from age but still very good and solid. The tach and speedometer are the original "glory brown" and the orange markings on them aren't even faded. Everything is original and in very good condition, mechanically and in appearance.

This CB 500 T is ridden regularly, has current registration and inspection.  I have a clear Texas title.  This motorcycle would make an excellent addition to any collection or just become a daily rider.  There aren't many examples of the CB 500 T in this condition anywhere.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. I will be available to coordinate pick up by your shipper.  I am available by phone (817) 271-0423 to answer any specific questions you may have.  Happy Bidding!!

A Weighty Issue

Mon, 03 Nov 2008

For as long as I can remember, motorcycle manufacturers have been playing fast and loose with regard to what they claim for the weight of their bikes. The “dry weights” they foisted upon us had little basis in reality. The “dry” part of that claim meant that listed weights on a spec chart were the result of all fluids being MIA from the bike, including necessities like engine oil, coolant and fork fluid (not to mention fuel), but even that didn’t fully explain the overly optimistic specs.

Isle of Man TT 2013: Dainese Superbike Race Results

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

It was delayed by a day but the Isle of Man TT’s Dainese Superbike race finally went underway Sunday. Originally scheduled to open the 2013 Isle of Man TT, the race was pushed back a day because poor weather earlier in the week prevented proper practice and qualifying. Even then, the Superbike race was delayed 45 minutes from its rescheduled start time due to a traffic accident.

Hot on-board laps of Cadwell with Josh Brookes

Thu, 30 Sep 2010

You've got to be reasonably mental to ride a 200bhp Superbike on slicks around the narrow cart track that is Cadwell Park. We've met Josh Brookes a few times and we can vouch that he qualifies highly for the task in hand. That's a compliment, by the way.
