Honda CB description
Up for auction is an exceptional vintage Honda 350-four. My brother and I purchased it with 252 original miles on it in 2005 from a friend of the original owner and it had been sitting covered in a garage since 1974. Though it was hardly used, it needed a lot of detailing and effort to make it show condition. Since then it has taken a number of 1st and 2nd place finishes in various shows including Cycle World Magazine's Rolling Concours and AMA's Vintage Motorcycle Days. It was even invited and featured at the AMA's "Concours d'Elegance" at their Pickerington, OH Museum. I was approached at the Cycle World Rolling Concours event in Knoxville years ago, by Jon Seidel of American Honda Motor Co., to donate/sell it to them for their museum. This would have been nice but I would have lost thousands doing it. I have now had and enjoyed it for 10 years but it is time to sell as I'm getting close to retirement and my wife and I have "downsized" our home and my collection of 9 motorcycles has to be reduced. This machine runs flawlessly and has always been stored in a temperature/climate-controlled environment (my office at work). It has the original owners manual, tool kit (both never touched). The only flaws are 1 minor ping on a muffler and a very small spot of corrosion on the infamous #2 pipe. This is a no-reserve auction (I don't care for reserves as I'll start the bidding at my threshold of sale price), with a "buy-it now" option. I'm also listing it locally and may have to pull from auction if it sells. I'm offering a money-back guarantee as I don't see any way that a buyer could find fault with it. This really and truly would be what have come off the show-room floor in 1974, except that is 2016. It is about as perfect as you could get. Purchaser is responsible for shipping arrangements, though I can help to meet the transporter and help load. I'm also open to picking up directly, if you are close enough. I require an immediate $500 down payment via PayPal, with balance due at buyer pick-up or before transporter picks up. I'm happy to field any questions. Thank you for considering!

A Lap of the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course with John McGuinness – Video
Tue, 26 Jun 2012The Isle of Man TT is a very special event. Once the most prestigious motorcycle event in the world, the TT requires a certain type of character to ride superbikes at an average speed of over 130 mph through the quaint villages and over the rolling hills of the 37.73-mile Mountain Course. But don’t take my word for it, take the word of 19-time TT winner John McGuinness.
Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box
Mon, 10 Dec 2012A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show. On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca. With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem. When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season. We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!
Florida to Alaska and Back on a Honda CBR125R
Tue, 24 May 2011A 65-year-old man from Windsor, Ontario, Canada is attempting a cross-continent ride from Key West, Fla., to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska and back, on a Honda CBR125R.

A print shop owner with a stable of five motorcycles, Munden will attempt the trip on the 124.7cc single-cylinder four-stroke Honda CBR125R, an entry-level sportbike model Honda offers in Canada.
