Honda CB description

Up for auction is this beautiful 7/1970 Honda CB175 Super Sport. Bike starts, runs and rides great. Newer tires, newer AGM battery, and newer electronic ignition system from Charlie's place. It has been really nice to run without points. Starts easier, runs smoother. Local vintage motorcycle shop went through the carbs this spring, and also replaced old worn steering bearings with new tapered roller bearings. They did the ignition install, too. Have receipts, more photos. I'm the 3rd owner, will also include a vintage Clymer manual. Not original paint, kinda cracked in a few spots. Side covers are a bit faded but not damaged. Missing one emblem from tank. Inside of tank is beautiful clean metal, not a speck of rust. Chassis has some grime and grease, could use a good professional detailing. Chrome is good, will clean and polish nicely. Original airboxes, I just cleaned them up and re-assembled when I got the bike. I bought it this winter and I've put 900 miles on it this year. Have changed the oil 3 times, never gets low or even dirty. Brakes work well, clutch is a little stiff but it works fine. 5 Speed trans shift smooth. Has neutral light. High, low beam and light off switch all work. Turn signals, horn works. Electric start, cranks great from the AGM battery. Kickstart is damaged, though, does not work. Honestly have never needed it. The seat is really nice but does have one small hole in it.

BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING. IF neaby though, I could load it in my truck. I'd be willing to go 100miles around the Detroit area, for a small fee. 

I don't want to deal with your shipper, or your shipper's check for too much money, or your payday advances, or your brothers cousins wife or any crap like that. You want the bike, bid on it and have a plan to get it home. Catch a plane, ride it home!!

This bike has a ton of potential for a new rider or for a race bike or to be torn and stripped down to something crazy. Great lightweight chassis to start from. Gets me to and from work for now so miles will go up about 70 per day. Send questions to pnuoffer@gmail.com

Thanks for looking, happy bidding!

Joey Dunlop on a V4 Honda at the '83 TT

Fri, 28 Sep 2012

Onboard video footage doesn't get a lot better than this: Joey Dunlop during practice at the TT in 1983 onboard a factory Honda RS850R. An 859cc ultra-short stroke V4 Honda that Joey mastered around The Island, later winning the TT Formula 1. Although the 'production' race, the RS850R stretched that to the limit.

Crossover Honda CRF450R again upgraded

Wed, 24 May 2017

The first update is related to the kickstarter, or rather, its absence: now the “single-barrel” in the basic version is started by an electric starter with a very light Li-ion battery. The second difference of the newly rejuvenated CRF450R is the suspension with changed settings - obviously, it steers more fun and perky than before.

Moriwaki MD250 - the stink wheel eradicator

Tue, 31 Aug 2010

This beautiful motorcycle is the Moriwaki MD250 road racer, the replacement for 125cc two-strokes in MotoGP come 2012. The alloy beam chassis houses Honda’s diminutive CRF250X uni-cam motor, normally seen wearing long travel suspension and knobbly tyres. The quick revving liquid cooled four-stroke motor offers electric-start convenience and a maintenance schedule that most two-stroke racers can only dream of.
