Honda Other description

This 1981 CX500 has a custom paint job with a few flows here and there.  Custom seat and tail section.  The bike has cbr600rr forks/front end.  Front tire is new(120/90-17, the last picture shows the bike with the original tire before I swapped it), I have the new rear tire but I have not installed it yet.  I also have a set of rear break shoes that will go with the bike, the rear brakes on the bike now squeak a tiny bit, the front brakes are full of life.  The small holes on either side of the tail section are for turn signal mounting, if desired.  In the photo's it shows the cbr grips and extensions on the lefts but not the right, but I just added the grips and grip extension on the right as well.  This bike is in its "work cloths", I was going to strip the entire bike down and powder coat the frame but I do not have the time right now.  Since the photo's, I have added a new set of gold colored air shocks, the shocks in the photo's will go with the bike.  I have part of the build of this bike on the CX forum: http://cx500forum.com/forum/cx-customization-modifications/21815-cx500-fork-swap-cbr600rr.html    The bike runs great, and shifts through all of the gears without any issue.  It handles wonderfully with the cbr front end.  I have a rejet kit 90/120 for the carbs which I have not installed yet.  I have the original front end with wheel and tire I would sell very cheap with this bike.    I will NOT ship this bike!!!  Local pickup ONLY!!!  Cash in person ONLY!!!  Feel free to ask any questions or let me know if you would like to see the bike in person before buying.  Thanks, payne3001

Wed, 22 Oct 2008

The Honda GL1800 Goldwing may be a versatile vehicle, but a Sweden based company has developed theirs to be something much different; a recovery vehicle. According to their site, the process takes less than 90 seconds with a single operator using the handheld remote control. The bike can allegedly be driven like any other motorcycle when you are not towing a car behind you.

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.
