Honda Other description

Up for sale is a 1984 Honda VT500 Ascot in decent running condition, but in need of expert tuning. All functions work well with the exception of the tachometer, which makes a loud whirring noise as rpm's go above 3000 rpm when the weather is cold. I have it disconnected currently. The exhaust system has been customized to eliminate the heavy central chamber and uses a less restrictive muffler. It sounds good and has no exhaust leaks. The engine, brakes , lights, transmission, shaft drive, and controls all work as they should. Rear tire is new, front is 50% gone. It does not burn oil and leaks maybe a drop a month. This bike has been very reliable and has never left me stranded. It has a low seat height and would be a good bike for a shorter person. It gets 60 mpg around town. The paint is not great. The tank has had a magnetic tank bag on it for years, making the paint scratchy on top. The tank bag is included. Elsewhere, the paint is not too bad, but not very glossy. The registration was just renewed this month. The bike runs well almost all the time,but has a tuning issue. During the engine warm up period on warmer days, the engine will sometimes act as if there is fuel starvation. On cold days, the problem doesn't happen. Once warmed up, the engine always runs fine, but when the problem crops up, both cylinders will quit at partial throttle while riding. Idle and full throttle do not cut out, only when at partial throttle. When riding, this requires going to full throttle for a few seconds till the cylinders come back. Once warmed up, everything is back to normal. This usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes riding time. This may be easy to fix, but I wasn't able to find the problem. I won't ship it, or deliver it, so it will be up to the buyer to pick it up. I am in San Jose, Ca.. Paypal, cash, cashiers check or personal check(wait to clear).

Surely more wins are on the cards for Seeley and the 2011 Gixer?

Thu, 02 Jun 2011

The amazing Alex Lowes is deservedly grabbing all the attention in the BSB paddock at the moment, but I believe last year’s top Superbike rookie, Alistair Seeley is doing an equally impressive job in the Supersport class. Although he looks ten years younger, thirty one year old Seeley  is riding one of only two 2011 600 GSXRs (fellow countryman Marty Nutt is on the other) in the class. Alistair has finished on the podium four times including a race win at the opening Brand Hatch round and currently lies second in the championship.  He also took victory on the Gixer in the only race run at the North West 200 last month and was looking like the runaway winner last Sunday at Thruxton until electrical gremlins struck after opening up a seven second lead.

“The Retriever” is Swedish for Tow Bike

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 VFR1200F – First Impressions

Fri, 23 Oct 2009

Honda’s new VFR1200F in action at Sugo in Japan. UPDATE: 2010 Honda VFR1200F Review -  First Ride Article I’m here at the Sugo Sportsland racetrack in Japan, an odd place for what seems to be a sport-touring machine like the new VFR1200F. But my time at Sugo today was one of the most incredible riding experiences of my career.
