Honda CB description

THIS FEATURED 1981 HONDA 650  AND IDENTICAL PARTS BIKE WERE  ACQUIRED A FEW YEARS AGO AND WAS INTENDED TO BE MY RETIREMENT PROJECT.  NOT KNOWING THAT MOTOR WAS SEIZED WHEN I PURCHASED IT,  I WAS PERSUADED TO REBUILD THE TOP END BY A BIKE MECHANIC FROM HELL.... AFTER 2000 MILES THE ENGINE LOST COMPRESSION IN ALL 4 CYLS.  IT TURNED OUT THAT MECHANIC FROM HELL NEVER REPLACED PARTS THAT HE CHARGED ME FOR.  HE BLAMED THAT ON HIS FORMER MECHANIC AND AGREED TO REPAIR IT CORRECTLY.   HE SKIPPED TOWN LEAVING THE TOP END DISASSEMBLED.    IN THE MEANTIME, I PURCHASED NEW MAC TURNOUT EXHAUST ($400), POLISHED ENGINE CASES AND VALVE COVERS , BRAND NEW TIRES WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THEM ($300), AND AN IDENTICAL 81 CB PARTS BIKE WITH FRONT FORK DAMAGE WHICH I SUSPECT HAS A SEIZED MOTOR.  EXTRA PARTS NOT SHOWN ARE NICE CAFE WINDSHIELD,   4 TO 1 EXHAUST WITH RUST AND SMALL HOLE ON BOTTOM.  I HAVE NORTH OF $3000 INVESTED AND MY HEALTH AND PATIENCE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO CONTINUE WITH THIS PROJECT.... THOUGH IT IS A GREAT DEAL FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THE CB CLASSICS... THERE IS MUCH POTENTIAL WITH THESE TWO BIKES....REBUILD TOP END ON ONE AND HAVE A SPARE FOR PARTS OR RESTORE BOTH..   I HAVE BOTH CLEAR TITLES.  FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT 989 287 2004 (STEVE).  THANKS FOR LOOKING.

Honda Reports Q1 2011-2012 Results

Tue, 02 Aug 2011

Honda reported a 88.3% year-on-year decrease in net profit over its first quarter ended June 30, 2011, thanks in large part to the March 11 earthquake and ensuing tsunamis in Japan. Honda reported a profit of 31.7 billion yen (US$411.1 million) over the quarter, a fraction of the 272.4 billion yen (US$3.53 billion) reported over the same quarter last year.  The decrease came mainly from a large dropoff in automobile sales. Net sales from the motorcycle division helped keep Honda in the black despite a drop in unit sales.
