Honda Other description

This is a 1974 Honda XL250 Enduro Dual Sport 4 Stroke Motorcycle.  It has a rebuilt engine, new Kenda tires that have never been driven on, new UFO fenders, new clear hand guards, new handlebars, control handles, perches, and mirrors.  Has a new aftermarket front ferring. It does have a Clarke gas tank (the paint is peeling on it).  All new cables, brakes, battery, speedometer, and tachometer.  The seat was newly recovered.  The speedometer only reads 1.4 miles since the entire bike was rebuilt.  It has a new chain and sprockets as well.  It does need a left case gasket and should be good to go.  The motorcycle runs, but I am having to get rid of it because after rebuilding it, I found out I was going to have to have knee surgery and this is a kickstart only bike and I will not be able to start it.  I have another bike that is electric start, so this one has to go. There are many other extra parts that go with the bike if you want them.  This is an "as is" sale.  There is no expressed or implied warranty.  Please ask any questions before bidding.

Are Motorcycles Safer With Antilock Brakes?

Tue, 30 Dec 2008

A new report says riders with ABS-equipped bikes can dramatically reduce the chance of a fatal accident. The study compared fatality rates among riders on bikes that have antilock brakes, and it found that death rates were 38% lower on motorcycles equipped with the optional ABS systems compared to non-ABS bikes. In 2005-2006, the fatal crashes per 10,000 registered motorcycles without antilock brakes was 6.6.

EICMA 2013: 2014 Honda VFR800F

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Gracing the new 2014 VFR800F is traction control, ABS, heated grips, adjustable seat height and self-canceling blinkers. The V-Four-powered machine has been re-tuned  for greater low and mid-range torque, and also receives a new telescopic fork, Pro-arm swingarm, wheels, new, slimmer bodywork and styling. Starting with the 782cc V4-VTEC engine, Honda engineers focused mainly on cam timing and valve duration/overlap to increase low-to midrange power and torque, claiming 104.5 hp @ 10,250 rpm and 55.4 ft-lbs of torque @ 8,500 rpm. Bore and stroke is 72mm x 48mm, with compression ratio of 11.8:1. VTEC valve timing still operates one pair of inlet/exhaust valves per cylinder at low rpm, and then switches to four as revs rise. Honda’s single-mode Traction Control System (TCS) is fitted as standard equipment and is operated from the left handlebar.
