Honda CB description

37,400 miles

Candy Garnet Brown. 

Electronic ignition and kick start work like a champ. 

All lights work and horn works.

This bike will need a front brake caliper rebuild because the brake is sticky but it still works and stops the bike just fine.  The issue is that the brake lever won't spring all the way back out and has slop in it. 

Could probably use a carb clean, or just an adjustment because the bike will hesitate when you hit the throttle, but accelerates just fine after the initial stutter.

Drips a small amount of oil from the pan.

Side panel over battery is cracked.

Small dent on front fender, as well as on chrome guard on the fork, otherwise incredibly nice. 

Some pitting on the chrome here and there such as on the blinkers. 

I put new tires on it last year and they still have the nipples on them. 

New battery last year as well. 

The bike gets compliments all the time, and gets guys reminiscing about how they had a 550 as their first bike, etc.  Great as is, or would be a good start for a custom brat or cafe bike. 

Any questions, just shoot a message.   I will try to post a video or link of the bike running soon.

Own A Scale Model Of The Elf5, One Of The Most Unique Racing Motorcycles Ever

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

If you’re a fan of scale model racing motorcycle kits, this 1/12 scale model of the Elf5 racer, as ridden by Ron Haslam in 1988, should make your mouth water. Designed by famous F1 designer André de Cortanze, the Elf5 was the culmination of a radical experiment by de Cortanze and Elf, the French petroleum giant. And even though it didn’t claim the racing success Cortanze and Elf had hoped, the experimental Elf motorcycles hold a distinctive place in motorcycle racing history, with some of its technology still in use today.  Powered by a Honda NSR500 V4 engine that served as a stressed member and main mounting structure for the single-sided swingarms both front and rear, this recently released scale model is based closely on the actual Elf5 racing machines. This full detailed kit maintains the single-sided suspension, with the front suspension consisting of aluminum alloy and springs that will be partly movable.

Voluntary Recall for Continental ContiMotion Sport-Touring Tires

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Continental Tire announced a voluntary recall campaign for certain ContiMotion sport-touring tires. According to Continental, market feedback has shown some tires may experience uneven wear from the 180/60R16 74H ContiMotion rear tires. Tires may develop groove cracking and, in some cases, belt lift, conditions which can lead to a loss of tire inflation pressure and a potential for loss of control.
