Honda CL description

It's a classic and all original (except rear oversized 4.00x18 tire) 1971 Honda CL 450.
One family owned and garaged all it's life, good shape for 45 years old.
Comes with owner's manual, "Clymer Productions" service & repair handbook, original tool kit.
It hasn't been driven on the road or licensed since 1991.
New battery and all electrical system works fine.
Gas tank was cleaned out and epoxy lined in 2002, has some rust & sediment in tank.
Chrome has minor rust that can be removed with some TLC.
Very minor scratches on paint.
The motor runs but does not idle, carbs have never been rebuilt so may need that or a thorough cleaning.
The clutch plates need to be cleaned or replaced...after sitting for a few years they tend to stick together.
One front fork boot has a tear.
Seat has two small tears along different seams.
Hate to see it go but I'm getting too old to work on it and enjoy the freedom it offers.

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

Team HRC’s Joan Barreda on the Honda CRF450 Rally, got off to a storming start in day one of the 2014 Dakar rally, clocking up the fastest time of all the 175 riders at the first time-check. The former Husqvarna rider who moved to Honda in the middle of the season inaugurated his 2014 Dakar with an acrobatic performance. The motorcycle competition was expected to be wide open, and that is indeed what the classification shows after the opening stage. It was a very early start for the Rally Dakar. The pack of riders headed off at four in the morning on a long 251 miles that took them towards the vibrant city of Rosario for the start of the 112 mile special.

Wed, 14 Jul 2010

Away from the pressures of being a Grand Prix racer in the days when fierce on-track battles and unexpected highsides were common place, Wayne Gardner throws a Honda VFR750F around Oran Park in Australia. The bike that Wayne is likely to be riding is special VFR750F, that was given the codename '6X'. The VFR was an experiment with prototype components including titanium valves and magnesium flat-slide carburetors, the result was the bike that weighed less than a factory RC30.
