Honda Other description

This 1981 CX500 has a custom paint job with a few flows here and there.  Custom seat and tail section.  The bike has cbr600rr forks/front end.  Front tire is new(120/90-17, the last picture shows the bike with the original tire before I swapped it), I have the new rear tire but I have not installed it yet.  I also have a set of rear break shoes that will go with the bike, the rear brakes on the bike now squeak a tiny bit, the front brakes are full of life.  The small holes on either side of the tail section are for turn signal mounting, if desired.  In the photo's it shows the cbr grips and extensions on the lefts but not the right, but I just added the grips and grip extension on the right as well.  This bike is in its "work cloths", I was going to strip the entire bike down and powder coat the frame but I do not have the time right now.  Since the photo's, I have added a new set of gold colored air shocks, the shocks in the photo's will go with the bike.  I have part of the build of this bike on the CX forum: http://cx500forum.com/forum/cx-customization-modifications/21815-cx500-fork-swap-cbr600rr.html    The bike runs great, and shifts through all of the gears without any issue.  It handles wonderfully with the cbr front end.  I have a rejet kit 90/120 for the carbs which I have not installed yet.  I have the original front end with wheel and tire I would sell very cheap with this bike.    I will NOT ship this bike!!!  Local pickup ONLY!!!  Cash in person ONLY!!!  Feel free to ask any questions or let me know if you would like to see the bike in person before buying.  Thanks, payne3001

Day 2 Dakar 2014: Sunderland Wins First Special Stage

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

Honda won the second day of competition with Team HRC’s Sam Sunderland claiming victory in the first special stage of this year’s Dakar. Sunderland has had a frustrating time at previous Dakars, dropping out after three days of racing in 2012 and withdrawing a month before last year’s event due to fracturing both his wrists. Today, however, Sunderland made a grand entrance into the club of elite riders by brilliantly winning his first special stage of this year’s Dakar. Having started well behind his teammate, Joan Barreda, the 23-year old Brit superbly overtook Michael Metge and Juan Pedrero on the first part of the route.

The recall announcement comes a week after the NC700X and the NC700S were recalled in Canada. As with the Transport Canada recall, the problem is a lack of proper heat treatment on the Honda NC700X’s  drive chain.
