Honda Other description
For sale is this vintage 1978 Honda Twinstar CM185T motorcycle in perfect working condition. An absolutely fantastic motorcycle for a beginner or someone smaller in stature, this unassuming bike is both beautiful and an immense pleasure to ride. It is extremely well preserved, features fantastic factory specs., and will certainly become your favorite mode of transportation. In my opinion, this particular version also has the best graphic combo, with subtle colors and pleasant typography. While this model has always been considered cute by most, it was until recently that mechanics have chosen the CM185T as the foundation for a smaller hot-rod moto. While the results are incredible, this 100% original 2-owner example is certainly worth preserving. Don't miss out on this low price listing with Worldwide shipping! With no visible rust, no body damage, no previous accidents, no hot-dogging, the only issue is the brights are currently intermittent, which is most likely a very simple issue if not user error. A new battery has been installed and just been fully charged/juiced. All of the fluids have been changed and it is currently fully serviced and ready to ride. The original luggage rack and extra foot pedal rack are included: these alone have sold for upward of $350 a piece due to their respective rarity. It hasn't been registered since 2004, and I do not have a pink slip (because the previous owner never received it), so the new owner will have to perform a lien sale via the DMV to re-acquire a new non-salvage title. It would be difficult to imagine a better example becoming available anytime soon, as this particular bike has been well-maintained since purchased new. There is a very very light fluid leak from the petrol tap valve, but it can easily be resolved with a $35 part. I only accept PayPal. Since this item is both fragile and sensitive, it will be shipped professionally with all new packing materials, and the box will be reinforced for maximum rigidity. It will also be shipped with insurance in the total amount of the sale. Shipping
and handling will be: WORLDWIDE SHIPPING AVAILABLE. (Price to be determined depending on buyer's location)Item Details

Moto2 needs more radical bikes
Wed, 05 Sep 2012Makers of fine exhausts, Taylormade Racing have built a Moto2 racer that harks back to the innovative machines like the Elf Honda 500 and Britten V1000. Since Moto2's inception in 2010 the class has featured bikes with conventional chassis but the Taylormade bike, designed by Paul Taylor and John Keogh, has a radical design featuring a carbon-fibre monocoque frame, carbon-fibre swingarm, wishbone monoshock front suspension and an under-seat radiator. However, with such radical engineering the inherent problem is that it is a risk for teams to invest in such a project.
