Honda CB description

For auction is a beautiful 1980 model Honda CB900 Custom. I have never seen a bike of this age in this pristine of condition, save for museum bikes. This bike is a one owner bike that lived it's whole life in a climate controlled garage under a cover. It hadn't been started in a couple years and hadn't been actually ridden since the mid 90's when I acquired it and did the necessary check-ups and maintenance to get it road ready again. The following maintenance was performed on the bike prior to giving it it's first start in a while:

  • 100% carburetor rebuild with all new gaskets, o rings, rubber parts, diaphragms, all metal parts cleaned in ChemDip to new condition, bench sync'd etc.
  • New genuine Honda carburetor intake boots
  • New battery
  • Brake fluid flush/bled and pistons/seals cleaned
  • Fuel tank flushed, new fuel line and fuel filter
  • Oil change and oil filter/gaskets
  • Air filter checked and is in good condition with life left
The bike starts immediately and idles like a sewing machine. Pulls hard through all 10 gears. All lights work as they should and oil level light works as it should (checked it for functionality when I changed the oil, it's on in the picture because the bike wasn't running when I took them, it turns off). 

The stock seat is technically NOS because it had a Hondaline King and Queen with a Honda sissy bar on it that was placed on it immediately after purchase, the original seat was stored until I placed it back on. The king/queen with sissy are going to be in another auction with some highway foot pegs.

The "good":
  • Pipes are in great condition and not rusted as is common
  • No rust to be found on the bike and all chrome looks new
  • Not a single scratch anywhere on the paint, the paint is amazing
  • Seat technically NOS
  • Low miles at 8K means it hasn't even met it's first manufacturer suggested maintenance period
  • Original maintenance binder and Honda tire gauge included

The "bad":
  • #1 cylinder air box boot has a tear and needs to be replaced. It's around $15 from Honda and does need to be done immediately.
  • Grab bar missing bolts which were lost in storage, 50mm x 8mm bolts
  • Inside of tank isn't perfect, it was a little spotty from sitting when I got it and I flushed with Yamalube Fuel Tank Restorer kit but it didn't get it perfect because I didn't give it enough time. Another flush would do the trick if it's a concern.
  • Has one small scrape area on the rear fender from the sissy bar edge rubbing on the chrome
Also included is the original cloth covered Honda Maintenance binder specific to this bike. 2 keys are included, original tool kit included and even the original Honda tire pressure gauge. 

I can send more photos of whatever is desired, like pictures of the additional items. I maxed out the number I can include on the auction. Shipping will be the buyer's responsibility to align. I can deliver up to 150 miles at buyer's expense per mile if necessary. 

I tend to write a whole lot about the things I sell, I just want my buyers to get as much information as they may need! 

My number is 865 805 1177 if you would like to discuss the bike and the possibility of a buy it now price. 

Feel free to ask me any questions, and thanks for looking!

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.
