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.

Japanese Motocompo Anime

Mon, 21 Feb 2011

Last week we revealed that Honda are likely to launch the new Honda Motocompo - over 30 years since the first version. I must admit, I'd never heard of it before we ran the news story, so I got onto YouTube and tried to find footage of a very efficient and humble Japanese businessman unloading one out of the boot of a Honda Civic in order to minimise their carbon footprint, but no... I couldn't find one.

Honda Raises MSRP for 2013 NC700X But Lowers Price for DCT Option

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

The big news from Honda last week was the introduction of the new CTX700 and CTX700N cruisers. Flying a little under the radar however was a change to American Honda‘s pricing structure for the 2013 NC700X which sees a price increase for the base model but a price cut for combined anti-lock brakes and a dual clutch transmission Honda introduced the NC700X last year at an impressively low price of $6999 for the base model and $8999 with ABS and DCT. The low price point was one key advantage we awarded the 2012 NC700X over the $7899 Kawasaki Versys in our recent Middleweight Multi-Tool Shootout.

2013 Honda CRF250L Dual-Sport Officially Announced for US

Tue, 29 May 2012

As expected, Honda has officially announced it will introduce its new CRF250L to the U.S., offering it as a 2013 model for $4,499. The 2013 Honda CRF250L is powered by a liquid-cooled fuel-injected 249cc Single inherited from the CBR250R, so it carries the same low-friction innovations such as the roller rocker arm design. Like the CBR, the CRF250L is produced in Thailand, helping keep costs low.
