Honda Gold Wing description

This bike was donated to the Farmington, NM CMA (Christian Motorcyclist Association).  All money from the sale will go to the “Run for the Son” ministries.  Check the website at www.cmausa.org for details.

 

The good: 

 

It is a 1976 Goldwing 1000cc.  I’m thinking this is the second year of manufacture for Goldwings and there is no reserve. It has electric start or kick start.  Engine  is free and does turn over with the kick option but the kick lever is missing.  Electric starter works fine when powered up. Exhaust, and chrome in pretty good to excellent shape as the bike has been stored indoors.  Classic Vetter fairing is in good to very good condition.


Clear title.  Clutch lever operates fine. 

 

The bad:

 

The gas tank has some damage as shown in photos.  There are some dents in the frame tubing around the area where both side covers attach.  Some cracks in the fiberglass tank covers and side covers.  Pretty good buckle in the rear fender.  There is a dent in the right fork tube top cover. 

 

At least one carb is damaged. It has a float mount that is broken. It also has other pieces missing.

  Appears to be a missing part or parts in the carb linkage.  Another carb that was inspected cleaned up just fine.  The two other carbs have not been inspected.

 

The engine did run (roughly) on choke and primed carbs.  All 4 Cylinders show 120 psi compression.  Bottom line - an experienced person should be able to restore the bike to running condition with a different carb and rebuild kits.

 

The speedometer has been replaced but not tested.  The original was broken and cracked. Rear turn signals need some work and the seat has some cracks.  Not sure of the mileage as odometer was on broken gauge and replaced.

   

Ignition lock has been replaced as there was no key with the bike.  It seems to work fine.

Please contact me for any questions and I’ll do my best to answer or send more pictures.  Bike is located in Farmington, NM and bidders are welcome to come check it out.  Just send me a email through ebay and I’ll give you the address.

Wed, 18 May 2011

This uber rare 1954 AJS E95, aka The Porcupine, may become the most expensive motorcycle in the world. World-famous auction house, Bonhams, has recently announced that it will handle auctioning of an ultra-rare 1954 AJS E95 during the Pebble Beach Car Week held annually in August at the Quail Lodge Golf Club in Carmel, Calif. Bonhams estimates that due to the rarity of the E95 (only four were completed by British brand AJS) it may see a bid as high as $750,000.

Honda to Shift Mid and Large Displacement Motorcycle Production to Thailand

Tue, 29 Nov 2011

Honda is reportedly moving production of 400cc and larger motorcycles to Thailand from Japan to reduce production costs and overcome the rising value of the yen. According to Japanese news outlet Daily Yomiuri, Honda plans to produce 400cc and 500cc models at a new factory to be built in the suburbs of Bangkok, Thailand. Honda currently produces small displacement models such as the CBR250R in Thailand, with larger models coming out of Honda’s factory in Kumamoto, Japan.

Mac Motorcycles

Thu, 28 May 2009

British motorcycle design studio Xenophya Design and product designer Ellis Pitt have teamed up to produce a new company, Mac Motorcycles. Based out of Upton-Upon-Severn in Worcestershire, England, Mac Motorcycles will produce a line of bikes powered by Buell’s air-cooled single cylinder 492cc engines used in the Blast, with a tubular backbone frame. On the company’s website, Pitt describes its bikes as being simple to maintain, include references and details from choppers and bobbers and feature “Harley posture, flat-track manners, Ducati handling”.
