Honda CB description

Beautiful, well maintained 1977 550F Super Sport. Offered only from 75'- 77', this is a hard to find, very nice example of the final year. Dubbed the "Flying French Horn" by Cycle World, this sporting middle-weight does everything very well. Almost as fast as the 750's of the day, but FAR more maneuverable. This bike runs very well, handles superbly, and corners like it's on rails. Purcased from the 2nd owner 2 years ago, ridden very little, and then stored on the enclosed front porch of my home. When I purchased the bike, it had a double step seat installed (included),which I replaced with a factory style race seat ($500 !). Has the orginal muffler, but, like all of them, has some rot on the end. For that reason I purchased a very nice vintage R.C. Racing header muffler. 2nd owner lost the starter button, so he installed a toggle switch instead. However, the stock switch is included for easy conversion back to stock. Also included are new plugs, oil filter, spare cables, stock mint mirrors, owner's manual, and service records. Bike will need a new battery installed. Tires are in very good condition, as is the rest of the bike over all. Could use a good detailing, but a very nice rare vintage bike at a great price. Please feel free to ask questions or for additional pics, and happy bidding !

NZ Superbike Series Points Leader Is A Grandfather Of Three!

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Dennis Charlett is stamping his authority on the New Zealand Superbike championship. The 45 year-old father of five and grandfather of three (no, those aren’t typos) won the first three races of the season during the series opener in Christchurch, placing him firmly at the top of the points standings heading into round two at Levels Raceway, near Timaru. The championship favorite certainly got the wake-up call as Taupo’s Suzuki rider Scott Moir raced to a convincing win in Saturday’s Superbike race, while Charlett was forced to settle for fourth place.

Capirossi Announces Retirement at Conclusion of 2011 Season

Thu, 01 Sep 2011

Loris Capirossi announced he will retire at the end of the 2011 MotoGP season, closing off a quarter century of racing including 22 years at the Grand Prix level and three World Championships. “It’s an important moment in my career, and the decision I made has come about after a lot of reflection,” says Capriossi. “I’m happy that after 25 years, of which 22 were in the world championship, I’m at a point where I can still have a smile on my lips as I part ways, even if it’s difficult to think that I won’t be riding a bike next year.” The announcement was made during a press conference at Misano for the upcoming San Marino Grand Prix, the final Italian stop of the 2011 season.

Honda MotoGP Production Racer Undergoes Testing at Motegi

Mon, 27 May 2013

Development of Honda‘s new production racer is well underway, as the new (relatively) low-cost MotoGP racebike underwent testing at Japan’s Twin Ring Motegi circuit May 23-24. Conceived as a lower-cost option for race teams, the production racer project is running slightly behind schedule but Honda still expects it will available in time for the 2014 MotoGP season. Early reports estimate the price for the production racer to be around US$1.26 million, a substantial price, but still considerably less expensive than rumored $3.9 million it currently costs to lease a Honda RC213V for one season.
