Honda CB description

Up for auction here is a very sweet rare find!!
is a Honda CB750 four in a Santee Soft Tail frame with all the old school chopper parts on it Invader mags,santee oil tank ,battery box and coil box square girder fork 6 peice bars maltese cross mirors fork sissy bar finned engine covers ,itss like a time capsele
Has a early 1971 motor with Clean and Clear 1978 assembled Michigan title that matches numbers on the frame and it is 8 1/2 ft long

I found this at an estate sale ,had been sitting inside basement since 1989 next to this guys bar
i brought the bike home wiped off all the cigarette smoke film off of it and she cleaned up pretty damn good!!!Has some pitting here and there ,but most part is pretty damn sweet!

Gas was drained in 1989 when put in basement i dumped some gas in and she fired right up ,runs great, shifts through all gears goes down the road straight and will need a new ignition or key and some minor brake work and new tires, battery to be 100% this will be up to you. but like i said fires right up and sounds really nice! i bet its a joy to ride around town with all the thumbs up and looks you'd get, let alone taking to local shows and what not. i would keep it but have one bike in house now for display and no room for another

take a look at the pictures ,it is in great used shape for the age and hasn't been messed with
gas tank has been signed at lower left corner by a "Renaissance" guess that would be the painter
still has all the gold leaf and art work not to mention the seat as well ,would look sweet parked next to your bar perhaps?? That is also up to you to decide  Good luck bidding!!!

Bahrain track days

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

A few months ago, expat (and ex racer) John Beddall made contact to ask if I fancied doing some track day instruction out in Bahrain.  After thinking about it for two seconds, flights were booked and a plan was put in place to look after around forty riders for a day at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC).  Young Taylor Mac was also recruited to look after any tasty riders that I couldn’t deal with   The Brits out there love their bikes, however, quite a few locals also turned up plus a few others from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.  Most were on high end Superbikes, like S1000s, Panigales and RSV4s but there was also a healthy number R6s and new 675Rs.   Although this fabulous Hermann Tilke designed circuit is around ten years old incredibly it has never hosted a bike race.  The highlight of the year there is F1 but being owned by the Bahrainian Royal family, there is no desperate need for the circuit to operate as a profitable business.  The track reminded me of Qatar but much more interesting as some great undulations have been built into its desert location. We shared the track with Supercars on the day (20mins on/20mins off) and as you might imagine it was betty swollocks for seven hours in the 30 plus temperatures.  As usual there was a few offs with poor old RS1000 Aprilia mounted Andy breaking his femur early in the day.  Two other buddies appeared to swap bikes mid air in another incident but fortunately escaped unhurt.In the evening everyone stayed for an al fresco dinner in the paddock with the craic going on for hours as the Fosters kept flowing.   All in all it was a brilliant trip and it has left me thinking there could be cost effective ways of getting Brits out there for track days next winter.  I'll keep you posted.Cape Town next to make my racing comeback at the Killarney 8 hour on a CBR150 Honda.  Hopefully I can manage the beast, I'll post a full report next week.

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.
