Honda CB description


Summary: Vintage Honda in good mechanical condition, decent cosmetic condition, needs nothing, currently registered and ridden in CT (no title).

Bike starts, idles and runs well.  Shifts through all gears with no problem.  Brakes work well.  Lights, horn and directionals all working.  Charging system, battery and starter all good.  Steering and suspension seem fine.
Oil and filter have been changed only a couple hundred miles ago.
Carbs have been cleaned and vacuum balanced using the Motion-Pro tool, valve clearances are all set to perfection.  Cylinder compression is on spec.
Exhaust pipes, shocks and headlight bracket are off another 750K of the same vintage.  Wheels, originally chrome, have been painted.  Front tire is new; back tire has a lot of miles left.
Chrome fenders have minor pitting but still shine up well.  Chrome overall is pretty good.
Front brake upper and lower systems have been rebuilt using OEM parts from Honda.
Seat has been re-covered, tank has been cleaned and lined with POR-15.  Tank paint has scratches and wear but no dents.
Side covers are in good shape, matching, with the correct striping for the Excel Black 750K (so many badly repaired/painted covers out there on eBay!)
I have added a "National Cycle Plexifairing 3" windshield ($200) for highway riding (think warm hands in winter).
Bike is sold without title and no title is required in CT (and many other states) for bikes this age.

It was fun cleaning and restoring and riding this machine, but now it's time to say goodbye and get back some room in the garage.
I have lowered the reserve and the buy-it-now, so my loss is going to be your gain.  The best riding days of the year are still ahead of us, so don't hesitate...Bid!  (Thanks.)

**** UPDATE: I have just uploaded one additional picture showing a small ding in the front fender, not visible in other pix.  Also the rear luggage rack looks to be missing a piece that connects to the license plate bracket, probably not a big deal.  The bike is sold as-is, so I don't want there to be any surprises, and I hope I haven't missed anything.  Happy bidding!

AMA Supercross: 2012 New Orleans Results

Mon, 16 Apr 2012

Ryan Villopoto has already secured the 2012 AMA Supercross Championship but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to let up and take it easy over the remainder of the season. The Monster Energy Kawasaki racer clinched his second consecutive title two weeks ago in Houston, Texas, but he continued his dominance in AMA Supercross’ return to New Orleans’ Superdome, taking the holeshot and leading all 20 laps for his ninth win of the season in 14 rounds. The New Orleans round may have lacked some big names currently nursing injuries such as Ryan Dungey, James Stewart and Chad Reed, but Villopoto provided a star effort in the first AMA Supercross race in the city since 2009.
