Honda CB description


Summary: Vintage Honda in good mechanical condition, decent cosmetic condition, needs nothing, currently registered and ridden in CT (no title).

Bike starts, idles and runs well.  Shifts through all gears with no problem.  Brakes work well.  Lights, horn and directionals all working.  Charging system, battery and starter all good.  Steering and suspension seem fine.
Oil and filter have been changed only a couple hundred miles ago.
Carbs have been cleaned and vacuum balanced using the Motion-Pro tool, valve clearances are all set to perfection.  Cylinder compression is on spec.
Exhaust pipes, shocks and headlight bracket are off another 750K of the same vintage.  Wheels, originally chrome, have been painted.  Front tire is new; back tire has a lot of miles left.
Chrome fenders have minor pitting but still shine up well.  Chrome overall is pretty good.
Front brake upper and lower systems have been rebuilt using OEM parts from Honda.
Seat has been re-covered, tank has been cleaned and lined with POR-15.  Tank paint has scratches and wear but no dents.
Side covers are in good shape, matching, with the correct striping for the Excel Black 750K (so many badly repaired/painted covers out there on eBay!)
I have added a "National Cycle Plexifairing 3" windshield ($200) for highway riding (think warm hands in winter).
Bike is sold without title and no title is required in CT (and many other states) for bikes this age.

It was fun cleaning and restoring and riding this machine, but now it's time to say goodbye and get back some room in the garage.
I have lowered the reserve and the buy-it-now, so my loss is going to be your gain.  The best riding days of the year are still ahead of us, so don't hesitate...Bid!  (Thanks.)

**** UPDATE: I have just uploaded one additional picture showing a small ding in the front fender, not visible in other pix.  Also the rear luggage rack looks to be missing a piece that connects to the license plate bracket, probably not a big deal.  The bike is sold as-is, so I don't want there to be any surprises, and I hope I haven't missed anything.  Happy bidding!

After 10 years of working as a helicopter mechanic, Samuel Guertin founded Clockwork Motorcycles east of Montreal and began building cars and motorcycles

Tue, 03 Feb 2015

This Honda CB750 is the fourth work of Clockwork Motorcycles: “The bike looked pretty funny,” says the founder of the workshop. They tried to turn the 1971 model into a bobber, but unsuccessfully. I decided it deserved better." Having decided to make a real bobber, Samuel called the project "Fury".

Isle of Man TT 2013: Dainese Superbike Race Results

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

It was delayed by a day but the Isle of Man TT’s Dainese Superbike race finally went underway Sunday. Originally scheduled to open the 2013 Isle of Man TT, the race was pushed back a day because poor weather earlier in the week prevented proper practice and qualifying. Even then, the Superbike race was delayed 45 minutes from its rescheduled start time due to a traffic accident.

The New Fastest Electric Motorcycle Lap, With John McGuinness + Video

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Earlier this week, John McGuinness won the single-lap TT Zero electric motorcycle race at the Isle of Man TT aboard his Mugen Shinden San. In the process, the 21-time TT winner smashed the old lap record of 109.675 mph, setting an average speed of 117.366 mph from a standing start. To put that in perspective, McGuinness’ teammate, Bruce Anstey, aboard a sister Mugen, set the outright lap record earlier this week aboard his Honda CBR1000RR superbike of over 132 mph.
