Honda CM400A description
|
Up for sale is a phenomenally low mileage 1979 Honda CM400A aka Hondamatic. This motor runs strong and sounds great. The Hondamatic system allows the driver to stop and go as well as shift between a high and low gear without having to use a clutch.
The motorcycle has some minor cosmetic modifications with a replaced mufflers, fenders, and reupholstered seat to name the major things. The exhaust chrome has seen some neglect and has pitting on the inner curve which is very difficult to see normally. Beyond this the rest of the chrome could be restored to like new standards. The body pieces are all dent free and although the paint is not perfect, its buffs nicely and looks fantastic especially compared to any 30 year old paint. As for how it runs, I have never had any reliability issues. Even up to 70 mph the bike is smooth, drives straight and without shakes. At 5800 miles the oil and spark plugs were changed, the brake pads replaced and chain tensioned. In the past 100 miles I have begun to notice a slow leak in the right fork seal, it will probably need to be rebuilt by 7000 miles. Missing is the original parking brake lever and cable. It can be found for less than $50 but I have driven 2000 miles on it and never saw reason to need it. Also included with the auction is the original Clymer service manual in great condition in case you'd like to do your own maintenance or want to ensure your mechanic follows proper procedure. Secondly I have a JPR X-ring Performance chain ($100 purchase) which hasn't been installed yet but is included. You can come pick it up yourself or have someone pick it up for you. In any case, I will need full payment through PayPal before it is picked up or cash at the time of sale. Sale is for the motorcycle in AS-IS condition. |

Report: Dorna to Replace Superstock Classes with More Stock-Inspired WSBK and New 250cc Class
Mon, 07 Jan 2013The coming World Superbike racing season may be the last to feature Superstock classes as series promoter Dorna tries to differentiate its WSBK and MotoGP properties. According to Italian outlet Motosprint, Dorna plans to rewrite the World Superbike and Supersport class rulebooks for the 2014 season to make the race bikes closer to their respective production models. This would create further separation between WSBK and MotoGP, with Superbike racing moving closer to its production-based roots while prototypes racing in the GP series.
Gresini Promotes Moto2 Pilot Pirro to Ride CRT Machine in 2012 MotoGP Championship

For 2012, Pirro will compete in the MotoGP class riding a CRT bike with an FTR chassis and a Honda CBR1000RR engine.
Honda Developing V4 MotoGP Production Racer
Fri, 22 Jun 2012Honda is reportedly developing a production racer based on its RC213V racebike that could be sold to teams looking to compete in MotoGP. The new racebike is expected to be of a lower-spec than the RC213V prototype but perform better than a CRT machine with a production-based engine. According to a report by racing site MotoMatters and French magazine Moto Journal, the new V4-engined production racer will be sold to race teams instead of being leased, as is the case with current satellite teams and their race prototypes.
