Runs flawlessly and handles great. I rode around all summer with buds that are riding everything from Triumph 650's to Panheads, Shovels and new Sportsters. I stayed up with them no sweat and with the handling of this bike I can cook a lot of those heavy bikes on curvy roads. Does 75 mph no problem at about 6500 RPM with a 9000 RPM redline. You could ride this thing across the country if you want. The top end does leak a little oil but this is common on the 350four - 550four. There is a lot of oil pressure in the top end and there is a surface that is small in the front of the motor that tends to leak a little. Fortunately this does not affect the compression or how the bike runs at all. It's honestly just an annoyance that can be wiped off the side of the top end. This bike was built this summer for a show and ridden during the summer season in Idaho. This is an Idaho bike with a clean title and located in Los Angeles. Contact Brandon with any questions.

Wed, 22 Oct 2008The Honda GL1800 Goldwing may be a versatile vehicle, but a Sweden based company has developed theirs to be something much different; a recovery vehicle. According to their site, the process takes less than 90 seconds with a single operator using the handheld remote control. The bike can allegedly be driven like any other motorcycle when you are not towing a car behind you.

Do you remember Honda's EVO Blade?
Thu, 05 May 2011I can remember exactly where I was when I first saw Honda's TT100 Evolution Fireblade: at the dinner table, reading MCN as a 16-year old lad and being told to put the paper down and get on with my dinner! I'm sure you appreciate why the lamb chops had to wait.. It was created by Honda to celebrate their 100th TT victory, however I'm pretty sure Honda had another agenda: to homologate it so they could put it up against the mighty new Yamaha R1 at the TT.
