Honda CB description

Up for auction is an exceptional vintage Honda 350-four.  My brother and I purchased it with 252 original miles on it in 2005 from a friend of the original owner and it had been sitting covered in a garage since 1974.  Though it was hardly used, it needed a lot of detailing and effort to make it show condition.  Since then it has taken a number of 1st and 2nd place finishes in various shows including Cycle World Magazine's Rolling Concours and AMA's Vintage Motorcycle Days.  It was even invited and featured at the AMA's "Concours d'Elegance" at their Pickerington, OH Museum.  I was approached at the Cycle World Rolling Concours event in Knoxville years ago, by Jon Seidel of American Honda Motor Co., to donate/sell it to them for their museum.  This would have been nice but I would have lost thousands doing it.  I have now had and enjoyed it for 10 years but it is time to sell as I'm getting close to retirement and my wife and I have "downsized" our home and my collection of 9 motorcycles has to be reduced.  This machine runs flawlessly and has always been stored in a temperature/climate-controlled environment (my office at work).  It has the original owners manual, tool kit (both never touched).  The only flaws are 1 minor ping on a muffler and a very small spot of corrosion on the infamous #2 pipe. This is  a no-reserve auction (I don't care for reserves as I'll start the bidding at my threshold of sale price), with a "buy-it now" option.  I'm also listing it locally and may have to pull from auction if it sells.  I'm offering a money-back guarantee as I don't see any way that a buyer could find fault with it.  This really and truly would be what have come off the show-room floor in 1974, except that is 2016.  It is about as perfect as you could get.  Purchaser is responsible for shipping arrangements, though I can help to meet the transporter and help load.  I'm also open to picking up directly, if you are close enough.  I require an immediate $500 down payment via PayPal, with balance due at buyer pick-up or before transporter picks up. I'm happy to field any questions.  Thank you for considering!

New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

CONTROL specialist Venhill has launched its new 888 range of bike-specific fast action twistgrips.  Supplied complete with the company's top of the range Featherlight cables, the kits are designed for a straightforward replacement of the factory-fitted equipment.  Bike-specific kits are now available for the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R/ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R600/750, Triumph 675 Daytona and Yamaha R1/R6, among others, with prices from £105. Here's Venhill's description of the new product: "Manufactured with a robust CNC machined alloy body, the 888 fast action twistgrip provides a choice of two settings and is supplied with two rotors so that riders can select the throttle action that best suits the riding conditions.  Settings can be changed swiftly by undoing the two set screws securing the throttle body and changing the rotor. On the fastest setting there is 80° of rotation, (taking up 36mm of the cable), which is typically 45% faster than 'standard' throttles.
