Honda Other description
Selling my very carefully restored 1965 Honda 250 Scrambler CL72. This is a matching numbers motorcycle (or as close as it got back then). I found this bike around 2002 through a local VJMC notice advertising a free Honda Dream. Turns out it was this Honda CL72 that had a connection to the same family since the mid-60's. A young man in Indianapolis owned it and was drafted and went off to Vietnam where he was killed in combat. Dad gave and sold the bike several times with the understanding that it be offered first to him when that owner was ready to sell. So, all owners over the years did just that and the last one returned it to the father where it sat in his garage for several years. He finally was ready to move on and offered it for free to a good home. I was lucky enough to be the first one to get there. For the next several years, I worked on faithfully restoring the bike to it's original state using the Bill Silver guides, photos and other reference material I could find. I have seen many ads for Honda CL72's for sale on eBay over the years and almost none of them are truly correct. Other than the paint and spokes and maybe one cable, this bike is as close to bone stock as you're likely to get. If you are looking for a truly original CL-72, this is a good choice. I have had it for several years and it it time to hand it off to a new proud owner. Moving to California and a smaller garage Here are the details on the resoration that was completed in 2007.
This bike appears in the August 2009 edition of the VJMC Magazine in an article I wrote comparing this restored 1965 with an original 1964 CL72 I owned at the time. I'll include a copy of the issue with the sale. You could also read the article in the VJMC archives if you are a member. The article also describes in more detail some history about the previous owner. There is also a short video posted that you can view at http://youtu.be/FG_xZHmVnIA . As with any vintage vehicle, there is no warranty. Bike is sold as is, where is. With that said, I will assist any buyer as necessary to get the bike to it's next home - always do! I am now located in Menifee, California. If you live near by and want to come see the bike, just let me know. Also, if you live in Southern California, or maybe even Northern California, I may be tempted to deliver or meet the buyer somewhere. We can work out the details, but I do ask that you check with me prior to bidding. Please note that I value my feedback rating and do my best to describe all items accurately. However, I may miss something that you consider important so please feel free to ask questions - prior to bidding please. Good luck!

Honda has applied for a European Vehicle Type Approval for a new model
Fri, 06 Aug 2021Earlier this year, a Japanese company patented the name and layout of the new NT1100 model. A while later, renderings of what a sports touring car with the engine and transmission from the CRF1100 Africa Twin might look like appeared on the network. Since then, no new information about the appearance of the NT1100 has been leaked, but just the other day it became clear that the model will be presented soon.
CARB Certifies 2015 Honda NC700X – Still No 750 Engine in Sight
Tue, 07 Oct 2014American consumers hoping Honda would replace its NC700X with the larger-displacement NC750X will be disappointed to know they might have to wait until the 2016 model year to get the 75cc engine upgrade. The California Air Resources Board has granted an executive for the 2015 Honda NC700X, certifying the motorcycle for sale in the state with the same 670cc engine displacement it had since being introduced in the 2012 model year. Now, this doesn’t mean Honda won’t decide to certify the 745cc engine after all; manufacturers resubmit and recertify models all the time, often replacing models are adding additional model using the same engine.
