Honda CB description

1972 Honda CB500 Four - with Clear Title!!

This bike gets a lot of looks. I purchased it in 2010 and it was not running when purchased, so I took to Shannon Sweeney of SS Classics in Venice Beach, California (a specialist in vintage Honda's). He took apart the whole engine and fixed the major to the minor issues and got it running like a beast. I have all the receipts in hand. In 2013 I got too busy to ride  so the bike sat in the garage unused, in Oct. 2014 I recorded it as PNO non-operated vehicle with California DMV and drained the gas out of the engine.

This is a 44 year old bike that has not been ridden in the last three years and it will probably need a new battery, gas, carb clean etc to get it running. As of now this is NOT a running bike and is being Sold “AS IS” The ignition neutral light goes on, throttle is not stuck, and the tires are still good.

I started replacing old beat up parts with new OEM parts, the old parts as seen in photo are included with the sale of the bike. I am also throwing in my Codisk Wifi Action Camera (a GoPro knock off) and accessories which I use to film my rides along Pacific Coast Highway.

INCLUDED with Sale of Bike:

OEM Honda Fuel Tank Metal Emblem, right and left

New speedometer cable

New shorter rear brake pedal

New Battery tender connector

Codisk Wifi Action Camera with accessories

Custom made splash guard.

New Engine Point Cover

New Alternator Cover

New light bulbs and covers, 1 gasket, and misc parts.

Old Parts: Long rear brake pedal,

Old School Vintage Helmet

Spare Tire

Chrome Mirrors

Old Misc parts and bolts

Side Covers left &right

The bike's normal wear and tear gives it character. There is a Dent on left side of Hodaka Gas Tank (YES, this bike has a Hodaka Gas Tank!!)

Gas Cap Threads are worn down but somehow it still screws on.

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!
