Honda Other description

This bike is being relisted due to a significant error in the original listing, pointed out by the S90 police. Apologies to those who bid.

This no reserve auction for a 1968 Honda CL90 that was converted to a Honda S90 by the previous and original owner. An S90 fuel tank and muffler replaced the CL90 parts. I believe the CL badges were reused. This is a running bike without obvious problems. It is in pretty good condition for a 50 years old bike. I had the tank "vibra-sonic clean, remove, rust etch, power flush, pressure ck & seal" by Advanced Radiator (they do a great job!). The process destroys the paint so I had the tank repainted by an automotive painter, but I scratched the paint reinstalling the chrome. The petcock has not been reinstalled and will be provided with the bike, along with a new battery. I obtained the bike from the original owner, and have a clear 1968 title in his name. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will help in every reasonable way. Thank you for looking.

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.

Motorcycle Buying Tips For Women

Fri, 17 May 2013

Over the past few years, especially since the height of the economic crisis, more and more women have turned to motorcycling both as a way to save on fuel costs, but also to experience the joys of the open road. In an article recently published by Consumer Reports, some tips are provided for women looking to enter the sport for the first time. The first bit of advice is to “Sit on a lot of different bikes first,” says Angela Annamalai of Shelby’s Powersports in Bronx, New York.

Winter may be here but I seem to be as busier than ever, maybe the economy is finally turning around. At my last UK track day of the year I had some fun testing this little beauty.  It’s a late eighties NS400 triple bored out to 475cc and it felt sweet as I zinged round the GP Arena track at Silverstone.   Being stripped bare to reduce weight gives it a very respectable power to weight ratio which means it could live with 600s (on the twisty bits at least).
