Honda CB description

Bought this as a package of stuff from an old guy cleaning out his garage. He said he bought it 12 years ago and couldn't get it running and he got it from his son-in-law before that and had been sitting a long time when he got it. I merely cleaned the carbs and put some gas in it and fired it up on the first hit. Tires might be the originals. They are old. Clear Ohio title.

This bike has low miles, starts very quickly, runs very smoothly, and shift through the gears easily. That has been the extent of my testing. I'm not a mechanic and my wife wants it gone. However, plan on this needing a going over by a qualified person before being 100% road ready. It seems to be all there. The gas tank and the seat need to be fastened down. Not sure if I have the bolts. Does not come with a battery. 

There are scratches in the paint and fading, dents, and missing right side panel emblem. There is surface rust and pitting on the frame and most of the chrome. Doesn't show up well in the pics. The chrome still shines through as it appears. Small 2" seam starting to pull on seat. Seat overall pretty good shape. Does not leak oil or fluids. Front seals may need some attention. They're a little soft but are air shocks so may need some air. This is a historic, vintage machine and thus sold as is. No warranties. No guarantees. No shipping. Must be picked up at my residence or buyer must fully arrange shipping at buyer expense. This is a no reserve auction. Good luck!

Day 4 Dakar 2014: Juan Pedrero Wins Stage Aboard Sherco

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Stage 4 of the 2014 Dakar saw Juan Pedrero take his maiden victory aboard a Sherco SR 450 Rally. Although not in contention for the overall, Pedrero showed he has outgrown his previous role as Marc Coma’s lieutenant at KTM by bringing his Sherco across the finish line 3:10 faster than third place Coma and 29 seconds faster than second place finisher Francisco Lopez. Coma’s performance in today’s stage moved him to only 3:10 behind overall leader Joan Barreda.

2014 AMA Supercross – Anaheim 1 Results

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

KTM rookie Ken Roczen captured his first 450 class win in the AMA Supercross world championship, taking the season opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif. An audience of 45,050 fans watched a clean race from the rookie while errors by veterans like James Stewart and three-time reigning champion Ryan Villopoto knocked them out of contention. Villopoto had a strong start, taking the holeshot and leading the first eight laps, just like the Kawasaki rider had done so often the last few seasons.

Ronax 500cc Two-Stroke Sportbike Coming June 8

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

German company Ronax GmbH is producing a limited edition street-legal two-stroke sportbike rumored to be based on the Honda NSR500 GP racebike. The company isn’t releasing much information but what little it has revealed about the Ronax 500 has certainly piqued our interest. What we do know for certain is the motorcycle will be powered by a 500cc two-stroke V-4 engine, which sounds like Honda’s racebike of yesteryear.
