Honda CB description

This is a rare opportunity to acquire what may the most iconic of all vintage classic Honda choppers - an original complete pristine Denver's Chopper.

Interesting story: This motorcycle was assembled in the late 1970's/early 1980's from components purchased from Denver Mullins and Mondo Porras when their shop was still in San Bernadino, California. From the Denver's sissy bar and tail light assembly to the incredible Freddy Hernandez front end, this bike is ALL Denver's.

The bike was ridden on a number of chopper runs in Southern California over several years, always being cared for and never damaged. Then, for personal reasons, in 1986 the chopper was drained of all fluids, covered, and put into dry storage in the desert environment of Palm Springs, California. It emerged late last year in the same pristine condition it was when put into storage for almost thirty years. Look closely at the photos; the chrome, the paint, the motor (1971 CB750) look like they were made recently. Truly an incredible museum-quality survivor of bygone days.

When the bike came out of storage, fuel and fluids were replenished, and a new battery installed. The bike started on the second kick! She runs great!

I'm the first owner of this motorcycle after the original builder. It is currently registered in California as a non-op vehicle so there are no back registration fees and no problems returning it to service. I had planned on riding and showing the bike, but my age and circumstances have lead me to offer it to a new owner who, I hope, will give it the protection and respect it deserves.

I will work with the new owner's transport company to insure a safe transport of the bike to its next destination. I require a $1500 Paypal deposit at the end of the auction with the balance to be arranged prior to, or at, pickup. The bike can be held for up to seven days after the close of the listing. It is available for viewing in Lakeside, California; I encourage any prospective buyer so do so. The motorcycle is also available locally, so I reserve the right to end the eBay listing at any time.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I've been collecting and selling rare parts for vintage motorcycles for many years, so you can purchase with absolute confidence. I have earned an excellent reputation among Honda enthusiasts.

Thanks for looking at my listings. Please check my feedback and my other listings for more rare vintage parts. Thanks! Ride well!

2022 Honda ADV350 First Look (from Afar)

Tue, 23 Nov 2021

We saw a bunch of Honda X-ADV scooters on our pass through Rome a few weeks ago, and felt jealousy. When American Honda invited us to ride a new minimoto last week, we hoped against hope… alas, it was the Navi. For the new year, we can be even more covetous, as Honda Europe now has an ADV350 that’s bigger, badder, and cooler.

San Carlo Gresini To Field CRT Entry with Honda CBR1000RR Engine

Tue, 15 Nov 2011

The San Carlo Gresini race team announced it will compete in the 2012 MotoGP World Championship as a Claiming Rules Team with a Honda CBR1000RR engine in an FTR prototype chassis. The move is a late, but unfortunately necessary change from the team’s original plan to run the factory-level Honda RC213V racebike. The late Marco Simoncelli was tabbed to ride the newest version of Honda’s MotoGP machine next season, but after his tragic death, Gresini had to find another option if it wanted to continue racing.
