1980 Honda Cx500 - Cafe Racer, Great Condition! on 2040-motos

Honda Other description

Hello,

I am selling my 1980 Honda CX500 custom, with 26,909 miles.

Fresh paint, new battery, new clubman bars, new headlight, tail light, and low-profile turn signals.
Fires right up with the choke pulled out, which it only needs for about 5 seconds. Idles smoothly and runs great thereafter. Shifts smoothly. Front brake squeaks (on my to-do list) but stops fine. Gauges work. One tiny tear in the seat, smaller that the width of my thumb.

It's a blast to ride. Exceptionally clean chrome and body. Cosmetically and mechanically in great shape, especially for a 33 year old bike! The carbs are tuned well. The boots from the engine to the carbs have cracks in them and could stand to be replaced, but it runs great as-is. I ride it regularly and will continue to with no reservations. It's a really solid and reliable bike.

I originally purchased this as my second bike; to turn into a cafe racer. I've replaced several things to style that way, and it doesn't have far to go to complete it. I'm selling now because I'm getting married and only have space for one bike.

I'm happy to answer any questions and take additional pictures. It's a great bike that will make a new owner very happy!

Local pickup only

Thanks.
