Honda CB description

1974 Honda CB750 in decent daily rider condition. Has current DC title & registration in seller's name and is street legal. It's a real head-turner with a vintage style that stands out from anything else on the streets these days.

Bike has many upgrades, including:
  • Electronic ignition
  • High-output coils
  • Solid state rectifier
  • Entire new wire harness
  • New fuse box
Cosmetics are good enough to turn heads as you ride by. 4/4 exhausts were replaced with NOS parts in 2001 and are intact with no holes. Seat was recovered and has no tears. Side covers have no cracks. Tank has no dents; there is a quarter-inch chip in the paint on the left-hand side. Chrome has age-related pitting but no significant rust.

See it in action:
  • Running at idle and revving: https://youtu.be/n--NyvM7zXI
  • Riding up and down the alley: https://youtu.be/eLJuw6gbVQc
Wear & Tear:
  • Bike has been garage-stored unused for about 2 years and will benefit from a tune-up. It takes a while to get started when cold and the low idle gets erratic. Bike is fully-rideable once warmed up.
  • You can hear the front brake squeaking in the 2nd video; this generally disappears after riding a few minutes. 
  • The starter solenoid must be replaced. Starter motor works just fine if you jump the solenoid terminals with a screwdriver. This is a $35 part.
  • Tank interior has normal rust pitting from age and should be treated/lined at some point.
Bottom line: it's an old bike that's been idle for a while and needs a little TLC--but way less than a restoration. Contact me with specific questions and for more details.

This is a moving sale. My new place doesn't have a garage and vintage bikes don't fare well living in the open on city streets. Bike can be picked up in SE DC, near Eastern Market. I cannot deliver or ship; buyer must arrange for all transport after the sale.

Asimo: Lazy bastard

Wed, 22 Aug 2012

Honda's ASIMO, Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility robot is a pretty cool thing. Until I'd seen it in the flesh (plastic?) I thought it was just a willy-waving exercise from Honda, but when I saw it running and walking up and down stairs, I was massively impressed. So, perhaps, one day, we'll have the ability to buy a relative of ASIMO to help us around the house, I thought to myself.

2013 European Junior Cup to Use Honda CBR500R

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

As expected, Honda announced its new CBR500R sportbike will be featured in the 2013 European Junior Cup, a single-spec racing series that competes at European rounds of the World Superbike Championship. We saw this coming when Honda announced it would supply an all new sportbike for the European Junior Cup, but the news wasn’t official until after Honda unveiled the CBR500R alongside its siblings the CB500F and CB500X at the 2012 EICMA Show. Plus this also gives us an excuse to run a 39-picture gallery of the new CBR500R after the jump.

2012 GSX-R1000 arrives at Visordown HQ

Wed, 23 May 2012

You've probably seen the video of Simon Crafar smoking up the 2012 GSX-R1000 at Almeria. Impressive stuff. Suzuki are (correct me if I'm wrong) the last manufacturer of an inline four superbike not to offer it with some sort of electronic rider aids.
