Honda Other description

For sale is a 1973 CB350F w/ 30,500mis*UPDATE: Within the last 100mis, the bike has developed a small oil leak between the cylinder head cover and cylinder head, on the right side of the engine. After a short 20 mi ride, I notice a build up of oil on a few of the engine cooling fins. The oil does not amount to much, but it is something that will need to be looked at. The gasket will need to be replaced eventually ($15-20 part on ebay). The cylinder head cover can be removed with the engine still mounted in the frame. I would suggest the gasket be replaced before the warmer summer months. A thinner oil will probably leak a little faster.Story: My dad bought this bike in 1987 from a guy he worked with in Everett. The guy pre-owned it as a commuter bike to and from work, hence the mileage. For 25 yrs, the bike sat in the garage until last October, when I decided to get it up and running again.Within the last year, the following had been done to the bike:Carbs dismantled, cleaned, rebuilt, and syncedValve clearance adjustedTiming setPoints gapedCam-chain adjustedNew front and rear JT sprockets (stock 17/38t setup)New DID 530 ChainNew Battleaxe Bt45 tires (90/90 front 110/80 rear)New Yuasa batteryNew spark plugs and caps (NGK)New speedometer cableNew air filterNew aftermarket (EMGO) aluminum fork ears (aka headlamp brackets)Fork oil drained and replaced with ATFFront brake caliper dismantled, bead-blasted, and rebuilt (new caliper seal)Front brake line flushedTriple tree bead blastedOil pan removed, cleaned, and back on with new gasketOil pump cleaned and rebuiltOil pump screen cleanedCollectors plates!Everything on the bike works: signals, lamps, horn, electronic starter, speedometer, tachometer, neutral light, oil light. The bike was originally matador flake red but in pretty rough condition, so I sanded it down and now the bike is primer gray. Paint it whatever color you want! The exhaust is a MAC four into 2 I believe.The bike isn't perfect:There is some pitting on the chrome wheels, mufflers, handle bars, and other chrome odds and ends.There is currently some surface rust here and there (header collars/foot-peg mounts, see images)The engine could use a cleaning or soda blast (never been rebuilt)There is a small ripple in the front fenderNo kickstand, center stand onlyScuff on headlamp bucket near chrome headlamp bezelOverall the bike runs great, rides nice, and shifts easily. It is very smooth with little vibration in the foot-pegs. It accelerates nicely all the way to redline (10K!). The torque isn't amazing but at around 5-6K rpm, it picks up the pace. I've taken this bike on the freeway numerous times. Keep in mind you'll be around 6-7k rpm in 5 speed on the freeway. The oil and filter were changed ~ 200mis ago with 20-50W Valvoline motorcycle oil (non-synthetic, K&N filter). You may want to switch back to 10-40W if you plan on riding this winter.Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaKyld40kIYAsking $1500.Clear title.Call or email Brandon.Thanks!honda cb cb350f cb350 cafe

How do 1000s compare to the 800s

Wed, 09 Nov 2011

Now MotoGP has completed its transformation from 800 to 1000cc, how do the lap times between the different bikes compare using Valencia and the post-season test as a benchmark.. Yesterday, Dani Pedrosa was the quickest 1000 on his Honda RC213V setting a time of 1:32.186. To find the quickest time from the outgoing 800 era you have to look at his current Repsol Honda team-mate, Casey Stoner, but it wasn't set on a Honda.

WSBK 2013: Laguna Seca Race Report

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

Tom Sykes and Eugene Laverty each came away with a victory as the World Superbike Championship made its return to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The first race featured two red flags, ironically caused by AMA Superbike regulars Danny Eslick and Roger Hayden, the two men with the most recent experience at the famed track. The second race was a much cleaner affair, with a dramatic finish, setting up the final two rounds of the championship.

Buying countless tatty bikes. And that Marquez fella

Fri, 10 May 2013

A South African friend of mine called Trevor Binder told me last weekend I’m quite obviously in the advanced stages of a terrible disease. He recognises the affliction because he admits to suffering from the same condition for many years and so far hasn’t found a cure. He says he can’t stop collecting bikes and while I didn’t think I had a problem, last weekend he pointed out I should be careful as I’m starting to acquire bikes at an alarming rate. I wasn’t really worried about spending a modest amount of cash an old KTM 125 race bike, a 350 LC and a Fizzy over the past six months but Trevor says I’m on a slippery slope. He says it always starts with bikes that have some sentimental value but then swiftly moves on to buying any old tat. Trevor is a wealthy man with dozens of nice bikes in his collection but more recently has been on Gumtree bidding for £150 Solex front wheel drive step - thrus, and doesn’t know why. Closer to home, James Whitham has recently confirmed he may also have these symptoms and is actively seeking therapy. I’ll be monitoring the situation from now on but in the meantime if anyone hears of a reasonably priced Raleigh Wisp for sale please let me know.
