Honda Other description

Question 1:  Do you have a title to the bike?  Answer:  Yes, I have a clear Virginia title for this bike that is in my name.  It is not a salvage title.  There are no liens.

Question 2:  Will the bike start?  Answer:  The bike started on one kick ten years ago when I bought it from the man who restored it.  I expect that the bike would start today; however, the fluids should be changed before the bike is started.  

Question 3:  What is the condition of the bike?  Answer:  This 1964 Honda Super 90 underwent a three year restoration about ten years ago by the previous owner.  All parts were replaced with original Honda parts.  The speedometer shows 8,593 miles.  It was a one kick bike when I bought it.  This bike has been stored indoors, and it has not been started or ridden since I bought it.  The paint job is exceptional.  It is automotive quality.  I consider this bike to be a show bike.  The bike is not perfect, however.  Remember, it is 49 years old.  There are several minor imperfections which do not detract from the overall appearance of the bike.  The gas tank should be drained and cleaned, and the oil should be changed prior to starting the bike.  Please view the pictures to see the condition of the bike.  Recently I noticed that one of the front fork dust covers is cracked.  I found a pair of OEM dust covers available for sale on eBay priced at just over $40.00, with shipping.  Please email me with your questions.  I want you to be happy with your purchase.  This bike would be perfect for a college student who would like to ride to class in style.  It would look great displayed in a restaurant or in a man cave.  Payment only by USPS money orders.  

Question 4:  Can you deliver the bike to me?  Answer:  I would be willing to deliver the bike to you in my pickup truck within 500 miles of Harrisonburg, VA for $1.00 per mile after I have received payment for the bike and for the delivery charge by USPS money orders.  If you would like for me to deliver the bike to you at a distance greater than 500 miles from Harrisonburg, we can discuss the details.  By the way, Harrisonburg is approximately 125 miles away from the DC metro area.

Question 5:  Can I inspect the bike before I bid on it?  Answer:  Yes, I encourage you to see the bike before you place your bid.  Please email me to make an appointment to see the bike.  The bike is located near Harrisonburg, Virginia, close to James Madison University (JMU).

Update: I received the following email after I posted my reply to the first email I received (please see below):

"Sorry. It was a complaining email. Misleading and or wrong advertising just bothers me and no, I don't want your bike. No offense meant. An honest ad would read "Professionally repainted motorcycle which was also mechanically redone and has been sitting with fuel in the tank for 10 years. This will require a tank clean out, carb rebuild, new tires and tubes to make it into a nice bike. It was not restored to factory specs. but should still make a great bike with minimal work."
 
My response to the eBay member's email follows:   
 
"Your statement that you don't want my bike intrigued me.  I was curious to know why.  I reviewed your feedback.  I noted that you sold a Honda S90 on eBay on or before March 5, 2012 for the price of $1,715.00.  The buyer was pleased with the purchase and left postive feedback for you.  I am unable to review the condition of the bike you sold because it is no longer in the eBay computer database.  Apparently you have some familiarity with the Honda S90; however, you are not an authority on my bike.  You have never seen it.  You have not examined it.  I appreciate the fact that you have apologized, and I accept your apology; however, I take exception to your opinion that my description of the bike is either misleading or wrong in any way.  I don't believe that your revised description of my bike is apt.  I don't believe that rebuilding the carburetor will be "required" or that new tires and tubes will be necessary to transform my bike "into a nice bike."  It is a nice bike now.  The carb may need to be rebuilt or replaced, but it may not have to be.  The tires appear fine to me.  The new owner may wish to replace the knobby tires with street tires.  That will be his or her decision to make.  The replacement of the tires is not a requirement.  I take exception to your opinion that the bike "was not restored to factory specs."  It is my understanding that the previous owner took great pains to restore the bike to factory specs, including rebuilding the engine to factory specifications.  I agree with your opinion that the motorcycle would be a great bike with minimal work.  I believe that it is a nice bike now and that it would be a great bike with a few new parts and a little bit of effort."   
 
He responded:
 
"Your response to my annoying message was very fair and I think highly of you for posting it in your ad. Any tire over 10 years old should be replaced without even thinking about it. Additionaly, as you noted, knobby tires are dangerous for street use, for which this bike was designed. The handle bars are black and the tank emblems don't look correct to me...maybe I am wrong. The carb needs to be taken apart, carefully cleaned and put back together with new seals, assuming that the jets were replaced when the prior owner rebuilt the bike. No ill will intended."

My response: 

"It looks like I've made a new friend, one who has an appreciation for these bikes.  I see that carburetor kits are available for sale at auction on eBay for about $20.00."

Honda VFR1200 blog: Dearly Beloved

Wed, 25 Nov 2009

FOR WHAT we are about to receive... We all know motorcycling's a religion, which may be why Honda chose a defunct church to launch the 2010 VFR1200F - the bike the company reckon will take the sports-touring market by storm. Rain-soaked Spain is the venue for the European launch of the all-new Honda VFR1200F.

2013 AMA Supercross Houston Race Report

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

Ryan Villopoto captured his fifth-consecutive AMA Supercross win and sixth in seven rounds with a victory in the main event at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider passed holeshot-taker Mike Alessi on the opening lap and led the rest of the way for the win. Alessi, riding the Motoconcepts Racing Suzuki RM-Z450, remained in the hunt for the first few laps but soon gave way to a group including Team Honda Muscle Milk’s Trey Canard, Red Bull KTM‘s Ryan Dungey and Yoshimura Suzuki’s James Stewart.

Honda Announces CBR400R, CB400F and 400X for Japan

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

Honda confirmed it will produce a 399cc version of its new 500-series motorcycles for the Japanese market. The Honda CBR400R, CB400F and 400X will be offered in Japan instead of their respective 500 versions, as they are a better fit to the country’s tiered licensing system than the CBR500R, CB500F and CB500X. The new 400 models should come as no surprise after Honda announced in February it would produce a smaller version of the 471cc engine used in the 500 series.
