Honda CB description
Here is a very nice, all stock, 1976 Honda CB550. I bough this bike from it's original owner a few years ago. It had been sitting in a shed covered since the late 80's. I know the entire history of the bike. I will supply the buyer a copy of the original title from 1976.
The bikes runs and rides very well, just like it should. Everything works as it should mechanically and electrically; lights, brake light, blinkers, horn, neutral and dash lights, except the start button in the handlebar. The starter itself does work, and I tested it, (you can jump the solenoid with a screwdriver) it's just the button in the hand control. I simply haven't had the time to get to a swap meet to find a replacement. The bike kickstarts easily, so it was never a big priority. To get it back in commission, I did a full mechanical on it. Oil and filter were changed (genuine Honda used), front caliper was rebuilt and brake was flushed, the wheel and neck bearings were repacked, and I installed new tires (had originals) on it. All 4 carbs were rebuilt, tuned and sync'd. The inside of the tank is in excellent shape, as it was drained and the bike was filled with fresh oil before he quit riding it. The points and timing were adjusted to factory spec per the manual. The bike is all original paint and finishes, with many of the factory yellow markings still on the bike. I have not polished or waxed anything, so it has a nice ridden patina to it. The exhaust is factory original, and there are a couple small holes in the mufflers bodies themselves. It does not affect the sound as far as I can tell. The gauges are not faded like most of this vintage, and look awesome. The original tool kit is under the seat. As expected with a 40 year old ridden bike, there are some minor cosmetic imperfections, chips, scrapes, scratches, etc. But overall, this is a very nice rider class bike. The tank has a couple minor dents, and a bit of the paint on the top of the tank has a discoloration. It can all clearly be seen in the photos. Here is a video of it starting/running and testing the systems: https://youtu.be/v_39TK8nr5o Bike has a clean Minnesota title, and MN collector plates. I will leave the plates on if it is sold in MN. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I can help assist with pickup or shipment, but I'm not going to deliver or crate it for nothing. I do have it for sale locally, so I reserve the right to remove the listing. |

2014 HRC Dakar Team Announced
Thu, 30 May 2013Today at Mugello, ahead of this weekend’s MotoGP race at the famous Italian racetrack, Team HRC unveiled its 2014 Dakar team and motorcycle. Interestingly, one person many thought could be a Red Rider this year after leaving KTM, Cyril Despres, will not be riding a Honda next year, instead joining Yamaha’s Dakar effort. However, HRC’s team still features five accomplished riders: Helder Rodrigues (Portugal), Sam Sunderland (UK), Javier Pizzolito (Argentina), Joan Barreda (Spain) and Paulo Goncalves (Portugal), all of whom will be competing on the CRF450 Rally.
American Honda Played A Big Role In Bringing Nicky Hayden Back To Team Red
Tue, 08 Apr 2014In late 2013, American Honda was presented with an opportunity to bring Nicky Hayden back to the Honda family, and renew the relationship that started in 1999 when Hayden was just 17. By retaining Hayden’s services to ride the Honda RCV1000R in the MotoGP World Championship series for the DRIVE M7 Aspar Team in the 2014 and 2015 seasons, American Honda is also now a proud sponsor of the DRIVE M7 Aspar Team. His first MotoGP season (2003) saw Hayden finish fifth in the championship on the Repsol Honda RC211V and win Rookie of the Year honors.
GSX-R600 and CBR250R the glass is half full
Wed, 13 Oct 2010Suzuki’s GSX-R600 might not look that much different to the outgoing model but I suspect this bike could be very much a dark horse in 2011. I say this because two years ago I was definitely not building my hopes up en route to the K9 GSXR 1000 launch. The leaked pictures suggested the biggest change from the 2007 version would be some fresh graphics but I was so wrong. As it turned out, I was greeted in Almeria with a brand new bike, built from the tarmac up and it proved to be more than a match in every department for the much hyped 2009 Yamaha R1.
