Honda Other description

All original bike.  Sat for 7 yrs, recently got it running, but it needs the carburetor set up as it runs rich and smokes.  Clutch, tranny, brakes are fine. headlight works. Horn does not and turn signals at least three work, 4th might need bulb. Has new battery, new plug. Gas in the tank is clean, new oil.  I planned on restoring, but it has back fees due with CA DMV.  It needs to be sold out of CA or used for parts as the back fees are over $500 for not filing a non-opp for 7 years.  This wont effect other states registration.  I have the title in hand.   We can figure out shipping.  I think $150-200 will get it to most places. Weighs about 350 lbs.  Kick start. Metal tank.  
I'll try to add a video of it running

Honda Project Leader Shunji Yokokawa's first Honda bike was a CB900, which he got when he was a teenager after seeing Freddie Spencer wheeling his way down the Laguna's Corkscrew.Yokokawa has been in the States himself recently, having travelled to the Bonneville Salt Flats to break a world land speed record for a stock 600cc motorcycle.According to the Southern California Timing Association website (you'd have thought the video might have mentioned something about the record?), Shunji was successful in his attempt during August's 'Speed Week', setting an official speed of 170.828mph onboard a CBR600RR.
