Honda CB description

Bought this as a package of stuff from an old guy cleaning out his garage. He said he bought it 12 years ago and couldn't get it running and he got it from his son-in-law before that and had been sitting a long time when he got it. I merely cleaned the carbs and put some gas in it and fired it up on the first hit. Tires might be the originals. They are old. Clear Ohio title.

This bike has low miles, starts very quickly, runs very smoothly, and shift through the gears easily. That has been the extent of my testing. I'm not a mechanic and my wife wants it gone. However, plan on this needing a going over by a qualified person before being 100% road ready. It seems to be all there. The gas tank and the seat need to be fastened down. Not sure if I have the bolts. Does not come with a battery. 

There are scratches in the paint and fading, dents, and missing right side panel emblem. There is surface rust and pitting on the frame and most of the chrome. Doesn't show up well in the pics. The chrome still shines through as it appears. Small 2" seam starting to pull on seat. Seat overall pretty good shape. Does not leak oil or fluids. Front seals may need some attention. They're a little soft but are air shocks so may need some air. This is a historic, vintage machine and thus sold as is. No warranties. No guarantees. No shipping. Must be picked up at my residence or buyer must fully arrange shipping at buyer expense. This is a no reserve auction. Good luck!

EICMA 2013: 2014 Honda CBR1000RR First Impressions – Video

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

It may not have a fancy electronics suite like many of its rivals, but the Honda CBR1000RR has long been one of our favorite literbikes due to its light and nimble handling combined with strong, accessible torque. For 2014, Honda is upping the ante with the CBR1000RR SP edition. No, it still doesn’t have any electronic aids, but it does have a bevy of top shelf suspension components.

NR750 owners should require approval

Mon, 14 Jun 2010

Words can't express the absolute disbelief of this strangely attired guy trying to ride one of the rarest motorcycles every to grace tarmac. But this clip descends in to absurdity when the rider fumbles setting off on the Honda NR750 and drops the oval-pistoned beauty on its side. Did he stall it or is there a disc lock hidden within the pixilated video?
