Honda CL description

Up for sale is a 1969 Honda CL350 cafe racer. This is a great bike, I rescued it from a neighbor who was moving and thinking of parting it out. He started with a good running CL350 last summer and tore it down. All seals and bearings were replaced. The tires were replaced with new Avons. The motor was gone through and rebuilt and bored .020" over with new pistons. New gaskets throughout. It has an Acadia Vintage Motorcycles electronic ignition and a Ricks stators high output stator. New Mikuni VM30 carburetors. New clutch. The bike shifts smoothly through all the gears. The bike runs VERY strong and has excellent compression in both cylinders. It's a dream to ride, it handles very well and is much faster than you would expect a 350 to be. I get thumbs up wherever I go and it gets tons more attention than my Ducati. 
The bad- the previous owner was not particular about cosmetics. There are numerous scratches all over the bike. The frame looks great in pictures, but it looks like it was painted with a spray can. (It was ). In spots, the engine looks like it was painted with a brush. The PO also installed the wrong kick start lever, which stripped the shaft coming out of the case. I have all of the parts required to fix it, but it would require an engine tear down and I didn't want to do that because it runs so well. He also removed the starter but I have all the removed parts to reinstall it. In short, the bike in its present state needs to be bump started, which isn't a big deal because it starts so easily, but obviously could be a problem if you kill it in traffic. 
That said, everything else on the bike works except the brake light. I haven't had time to troubleshoot it but I'm pretty sure it's a simple fix. The headlight is an updated 55w halogen unit and is much brighter than the original. The turn signals and switches all work fine. 
The previous owner put about 1000 miles on it since it was completed; I have ridden it about 500 or so. I got the carbs about 90% dialed in- I didn't go any further because I knew I would be selling it and I live near Denver at 5200 feet. If you are the buyer and live in a lower lying area, the bike will need to be rejetted. It runs just a little rich right now and has a flat spot around 5000 rpm. 
This is a great bike to ride as is, or take apart and make it perfect. I would keep it but I have too many bikes already. 
I cannot ship but I will assist with shipping any way I can. $500 deposit due via PayPal with balance due within 5 days via cash or certified funds. I can hold it for up to 45 days if you want to pick up in person. I'm pretty flexible. 
Thanks for looking. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Help settle an argument

Wed, 08 Feb 2012

I'm happy to admit that I'm a little bit different; I believe that brown is an underused colour in motorcycling and we need to move on from custom café racers and introduce a dustbin fairing craze - you know I'm right. So, as Ben Cope - known around the Visordown office for being rather stubborn - and I were looking over various scooters on the 'net we uncovered the above machine, Honda's Big Ruckus 250. Instantly I thought that the Big Ruckus was absolutely cool, whereas Ben likened it to a 'mobility scooter'.

2010 Honda V4 Teaser [video]

Tue, 25 Aug 2009

Based on the concept model unveiled last October at Intermot 2008, the new motorcycle is expected to be a sport-tourer powered by a 1200cc V-4 engine with variable cylinder technology which can allow it to run on only two cylinders to conserve fuel.  There are also rumors that the motorcycle will have a semi-auto gear box which will give the rider the option of going manual or automatic. Honda has a dedicated website for the V4 where you can enter for a chance to win a spot to be one of the first to test drive the new bike, unfortunately, the contest is only open to Europeans. Hit the jump to see the new promo video (you can hear what the motorcycle sounds like!) and an interview with design project leader, Teofilo Plaza.

Honda Returning to AMA Pro Racing with Team Hammer and Dane Westby

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Days after the release of the reigning AMA Daytona Sportbike champion from his contract, the Geico Motorcycle race team announced it will field Dane Westby with the backing of Team Hammer on a Honda CBR600RR season. Westby rode last season for Team Hammer on the M4 Suzuki GSX-R600 to finish second overall behind fellow Team Hammer rider Martin Cardenas who raced on a Geico-sponsored Suzuki GSX-R600. Last week, Team Hammer released Cardenas from his contract option for the 2013 season so he could pursue opportunities in the Superbike class.
