Honda CB description

Up for sale is my 1971 Honda CB750. I've had this motorcycle for 4 years and purchased it from the second owner. The motorcycle runs great. It starts up immediately and idles smoothly. 

The Good:
New battery
Runs, idles smoothly
Tank, chrome, and frame in great shape
Additional oil pressure gauge located on right side of engine
Amsoil full synthetic oil has few miles on it
Tires are in good shape
Brakes work fine
Radiator has been added for long cruises
Clubman handlebars give the bike a cool cafe look


The Bad:
Bike does not come with original exhaust. A sport bike pipe comes with the bike and can be attached
Throttle grip is ripped at the end
Seat has a tear in the seam (after market seats can be found online for around $100)
Small dent at the top of the right side shock
Paint wear where seat meets tank (covered by piece of black electrical tape)

If I were to continue to own this bike for the next 53,000 miles, I would replace the fluids. Besides that, the bike is turnkey and ready to go. I don't think the fluids need to be replaced, but it's always good to do so anyway. 

This is a great bike that's becoming harder and harder to find in good shape. It's got a great, throaty exhaust note without the pipe. It sounds more like a sportbike when the pipe is attached. You will enjoy it.

Honda 'Hands'

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Honda are well known for their commercials with their 'Cog' ad for the Honda Accord car (2003) the most awarded of its time. Honda's latest advert celebrates the curiosity of their engineers and features classic motorcycles such as the Honda Cub and the RC112. A CBR and CRF also make an appearance along with a nod to that previous ad, a cog.
