Honda Other description

The Good: Unique and flawless 2 tone burgundy & candy apple metallic paint job, carbs recently cleaned and completely rebuilt by OldSchoolCarbs.com..(they do awesome work - carbs look like new inside and out), Jardine slip on megaphone style aftermarket pipes make this bike louder than stock - sounds great and noise=safety, I installed a new Pingel manual fuel petcock and deleted the vacuum petcock because the stock petcocks are impossible to find and they don't even make a rebuild kit for it, new battery last spring, new lower coolant hose (silicone hose), installed new bridgestone spitfire tires last spring - they have only about 500 miles on them, Exhaust system is in very good condition - chrome is nice, New Fuel line and fuel filter, Brake calipers were rebuilt last spring and new pads installed,  all fluids changed recently - including cooling system flush, brake & clutch fluid flush, rear axle oil, engine oil and filter replaced last week - used Castrol Synthetic motorcycle oil, Fork oil was replaced in the spring, seat is in great shape as the pictures show. Runs strong / doesn't smoke, includes factory service manual and Clymer manual, original stock mufflers included.

The Bad: Carbs could probably use a vacuum sync and some minor adjustment...bike doesn't love to idle when cold, and I find myself adjusting the idle screw upward a bit until the bike is fully warmed up; at which point she purrs like a kitten...runs great at all RPM's under load however, and is very fast with lots of torque. Needs new fuel level sensor if you want the fuel gauge to work and warning light to turn off...it hasn't really bothered me and I just fill up if I get down to the reserve, I just noticed some moisture around the right fork seal - may need fork seals in the new future

I'm sure I'm leaving something out but can't think of anything else right now...All in all a great bike...the good far outweighs the bad and in great shape for 30+ years old. Always been garage kept.I've been riding it all summer to and from work about once per week (25 miles each way) and it has not let me down. 

This bike has 13,981 miles on it as of 9/23/2013...I will probably put a few more miles on it this week because the weather is so nice, so the clock could be at 14K before end of week...

There is a $1,100 reserve on this bike...I just can't let it go for less, I will just keep riding and enjoying it if I can't get at least this amount (which is what I paid for it).

$250 Deposit must be made via PayPal within 24 Hours winning bid, remainder due in cash or PayPal before this bike leaves my posession.

Local pickup only - Bike is in Somerset, NJ. I will work with your shipper, but any shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

Clear NJ title

feel free to ask me any questions and good luck!

2014 Honda CTX700 Recalled in Canada for ABS Issue

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Transport Canada announced a recall for the new Honda CTX700 because of a manufacturing error in its anti-lock braking system. The Canadian recall applies to both the CTX700N and the partially-faired CTX700T (known simply as the Honda CTX700 in the U.S. market and other markets.) According to the recall notice, the ABS modulator may have been manufactured incorrectly and could potentially fail, allowing the front and/or rear wheels to lock up under heavy braking, increasing the risk of a crash.

Law enforcement moved to two heavily modified CRF1000L Africa Twin

Sat, 02 Dec 2017

The level of development of modern motorcycles is so high that the police could safely choose the standard model and not feel left out. But no - they ordered two custom bikes! In the end they could take the extreme Africa Twin Adventure Sports which is an excellent option, although quite specific for the road service.

Own A Scale Model Of The Elf5, One Of The Most Unique Racing Motorcycles Ever

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

If you’re a fan of scale model racing motorcycle kits, this 1/12 scale model of the Elf5 racer, as ridden by Ron Haslam in 1988, should make your mouth water. Designed by famous F1 designer André de Cortanze, the Elf5 was the culmination of a radical experiment by de Cortanze and Elf, the French petroleum giant. And even though it didn’t claim the racing success Cortanze and Elf had hoped, the experimental Elf motorcycles hold a distinctive place in motorcycle racing history, with some of its technology still in use today.  Powered by a Honda NSR500 V4 engine that served as a stressed member and main mounting structure for the single-sided swingarms both front and rear, this recently released scale model is based closely on the actual Elf5 racing machines. This full detailed kit maintains the single-sided suspension, with the front suspension consisting of aluminum alloy and springs that will be partly movable.
