Honda Other description

The Good: Unique and flawless 2 tone burgundy & candy apple metallic paint job, carbs recently cleaned and completely rebuilt by OldSchoolCarbs.com..(they do awesome work - carbs look like new inside and out), Jardine slip on megaphone style aftermarket pipes make this bike louder than stock - sounds great and noise=safety, I installed a new Pingel manual fuel petcock and deleted the vacuum petcock because the stock petcocks are impossible to find and they don't even make a rebuild kit for it, new battery last spring, new lower coolant hose (silicone hose), installed new bridgestone spitfire tires last spring - they have only about 500 miles on them, Exhaust system is in very good condition - chrome is nice, New Fuel line and fuel filter, Brake calipers were rebuilt last spring and new pads installed,  all fluids changed recently - including cooling system flush, brake & clutch fluid flush, rear axle oil, engine oil and filter replaced last week - used Castrol Synthetic motorcycle oil, Fork oil was replaced in the spring, seat is in great shape as the pictures show. Runs strong / doesn't smoke, includes factory service manual and Clymer manual, original stock mufflers included.

The Bad: Carbs could probably use a vacuum sync and some minor adjustment...bike doesn't love to idle when cold, and I find myself adjusting the idle screw upward a bit until the bike is fully warmed up; at which point she purrs like a kitten...runs great at all RPM's under load however, and is very fast with lots of torque. Needs new fuel level sensor if you want the fuel gauge to work and warning light to turn off...it hasn't really bothered me and I just fill up if I get down to the reserve, I just noticed some moisture around the right fork seal - may need fork seals in the new future

I'm sure I'm leaving something out but can't think of anything else right now...All in all a great bike...the good far outweighs the bad and in great shape for 30+ years old. Always been garage kept.I've been riding it all summer to and from work about once per week (25 miles each way) and it has not let me down. 

This bike has 13,981 miles on it as of 9/23/2013...I will probably put a few more miles on it this week because the weather is so nice, so the clock could be at 14K before end of week...

There is a $1,100 reserve on this bike...I just can't let it go for less, I will just keep riding and enjoying it if I can't get at least this amount (which is what I paid for it).

$250 Deposit must be made via PayPal within 24 Hours winning bid, remainder due in cash or PayPal before this bike leaves my posession.

Local pickup only - Bike is in Somerset, NJ. I will work with your shipper, but any shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

Clear NJ title

feel free to ask me any questions and good luck!

Mugen Shinden (Not-Quite-A-Honda) Electric Racebike Revealed – Video

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

Honda has revealed – Oops. What we meant to say was the Honda-associated Mugen Motorsports has revealed its electric race bike which will enter the 2012 TT Zero on the Isle of Man. Let’s get the caveats out of the way first.

McGuinness Tests Mugen Shinden Electric Race Bike

Thu, 22 Mar 2012

Isle of Man TT veteran John McGuinness recently got a chance to test the new Mugen Shinden electric rice bike to prepare for the 2012 TT Zero. The test took place at the Twin Ring Motegi in Japan, a world-class racing circuit but perhaps not-coincidentally, a track built and owned by Honda, further fueling the belief the Mugen effort is a front for the Japanese manufacturer. The Honda-contracted McGuinness put the Shinden through its first big test, helping the Mugen team gather data on the electric racer.

Can you identify this mystery Honda?

Mon, 05 Sep 2011

Calling all motorcycle geeks. Can you identify this bike? It's from a Honda patent dating back to around 1992 and coinciding with both the original Fireblade design and the RC45 designs being patented.
