Honda CB description

Up for bids and sold to the highest bidder is this 1978 Honda CB550K Four. 95% original and untouched. Presents well for driver quality. This machine runs and rides but is a light project. Only 14k original miles. No leaks, smoke or unusual sounds. The bike had sat for 6-8 years. I installed a new battery and rebuilt carbs. I've ridden 27 miles. Either the carbs need adjusting or bigger jets to accommodate the air cleaner pods. Holds idle but has flat spots through the rpm range.  I'd go back to the stock airbox. I have the original airbox(no boots or top). I installed a new clutch cable and the bike shifts through the gears smoothly. The front brake was rebuilt and brakes work as intended. I have installed 2 new tires(27 miles) and tubes. Chrome is nice on wheels. Chrome overall looks presentable. Some light rust pitting and surface rust. The exhaust looks nice. No rash or egregious scratches. Some light rust down low and pitting on back side. The seat looks good but has 2 seam splits on top. The paint is original with scratches and a few small dents. Some clear coat peel on top. The side covers look good with no damage. The emblems have some oxidation as seen. All of the lights and gauges work. The tachometer needle sticks at around 6k rpm. The turn signals works as does brake light. The horn and all switches work.  Has a clear Ohio title.

X-ray: Marquez's Suter Moto2

Mon, 22 Aug 2011

Learning in the quickest and most painful manner with some huge crashes, Marc Marquez has grown into a championship contender in his first year in Moto2. A debut win in Le Mans saw the rookie go on to win four races in a row and become a glaring orange nuisance in the championship peripherals of Stefan Bradl. As success has gone Marquez's way there have been complaints from riders of the same chassis that this is down to Suter giving the Spaniard preferential treatment.

Honda VFR1200F – First Impressions

Fri, 23 Oct 2009

Honda’s new VFR1200F in action at Sugo in Japan. UPDATE: 2010 Honda VFR1200F Review -  First Ride Article I’m here at the Sugo Sportsland racetrack in Japan, an odd place for what seems to be a sport-touring machine like the new VFR1200F. But my time at Sugo today was one of the most incredible riding experiences of my career.

Buying countless tatty bikes. And that Marquez fella

Fri, 10 May 2013

A South African friend of mine called Trevor Binder told me last weekend I’m quite obviously in the advanced stages of a terrible disease. He recognises the affliction because he admits to suffering from the same condition for many years and so far hasn’t found a cure.  He says he can’t stop collecting bikes and while I didn’t think I had a problem, last weekend he pointed out I should be careful as I’m starting to acquire bikes at an alarming rate. I wasn’t really worried about spending a modest amount of cash an old KTM 125 race bike, a 350 LC and a Fizzy over the past six months but Trevor says I’m on a slippery slope.  He says it always starts with bikes that have some sentimental value but then swiftly moves on to buying any old tat.  Trevor is a wealthy man with dozens of nice bikes in his collection but more recently has been on Gumtree bidding for £150 Solex front wheel drive step - thrus, and doesn’t know why.  Closer to home, James Whitham has recently confirmed he may also have these symptoms and is actively seeking therapy.  I’ll be monitoring the situation from now on but in the meantime if anyone hears of a reasonably priced Raleigh Wisp for sale please let me know.
