Honda CB description

This is my 1972 Honda CB450 with less than 4000 original miles. It is complete and almost entirely original -- only the mirrors are reproductions. Then engine has been rebuilt with fresh pistons and rings and shows 180psi cold on both cylinders. The carbs have been electronically cleaned and assembled using fresh rebuild kits.

The battery, points, condensers, spark plugs, chain, tires, and tubes have all been recently replaced. The stock rectifier and regulator were replaced with a modern rec/reg unit from SparckMoto (I still have the original pieces).

The headlight, taillight, brake light, and turn signals all work, including the three position headlight switch.

The front brake system has been completely rebuilt with fresh caliper seals, new pads, and a total master cylinder rebuild.

The inside of the gas tank has been sealed with a POR15 Cycle Tank kit and is beautiful.

The bike runs hard, it feels much lighter and faster than my '77 CB750 did. The throttle is fast and responsive, and it's very stable when cornering. The original exhaust is solid and quiet and the original air boxes have a nice growl. It pulls well at all RPMs and throttle positions with no stumbling or stuttering at all. The transmission likes a little preload on the shifter going into third, but most of my old Hondas like that.

The paint and bodywork are original and show a little age, as can be seen in the pictures. Frankly, I'm a fan of the patina and am happy to ride it as-is. It has zero mechanical or electrical flaws and runs as good as new.

Day 11 Dakar 2014: Coma Wins, Extends Overall Lead

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

Day 11 marked the longest stage to date of the Dakar Rally, as the competitors tackled the 605km (376 miles) special stage, covering a variety of terrain, hard ground, mountains, plus 120km (75 miles) of sand and dunes in the Copiapo area. Despite this, and a fall at the beginning of the stage, Marc Coma again demonstrated his status as boss of the Dakar 2014, by picking up his third victory of the year, further reinforcing his position at the top of the general standings. Five-time Dakar winner Cyril Depres opened the piste for 400km before dropping slightly to finish just 02:31 behind Marc Coma in first.

How about Edwards at Repsol Honda?

Wed, 13 Jun 2012

Casey Stoner's decision to retire at the end of the season has had a real shake-up for the Repsol Honda line-up along with the discussion, rumour and speculation of who will take his vacated seat for next season. With silly season occurring much earlier following Stoner's announcement at the French GP in May, rumours and speculation have been banded around with three candidates leading the way: Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez. Lorenzo, until he was confirmed to stick with Yamaha for another two seasons, was the most plausible of the trio as both himself and Casey are the top two riders in the world right now, making him the obvious choice after the Australian departs.
