Honda CB description

Nice little Honda CB550K model. This is the last year that Honda made the CB550K single overhead cam motor. This bike is in nice condition. The worst part of this bike is the seat, it is in bad shape. I was going to recover it but never found the time to do it. This bike rides great, everything on the bike works. Running lights, headlight, both high and low beams, turn signals front and rear, tail light and both front and rear brake lights. The only problem is that the charging system is weak. It does charge the battery but not as high as it should. At 4000RPM the battery is at 12.9 to 13 volts where it should be around 14 volts. Might be the regulator but have not checked it out. It charges enough to ride it. There is a small dent on the left side of the tank near the rear. The starter button cover is missing but the starter does work. The mufflers have a few holes here and there. I have patched them and they sound good. The bike will have to be picked up here in western Michigan. Any questions let me know.

Things I wouldn't like to race: Part 1

Mon, 25 Jul 2011

Now I know that Mike Hailwood raced a 6-cylinder Honda but that's no excuse for this CBX I spotted at the Bikers Days Spa Classic. The 1047cc, inline 6 cylinder, 24 Valve, DOHC Honda might be a feat of engineering brilliance but it looks like it would be a right handful on track. I've added a picture of an oil tanker to give you an idea of just how long the CBX's wheelbase really is.

Pulling the pin ...

Mon, 15 Nov 2010

WARNING: Not for the squeamish. You're looking at surgeons removing a pin from Ten Kate Honda man Jonathan Rea's wrist. The World Superbike frontrunner underwent surgery after sustaining fractures during a fall in qualifying at Imola, which hampered the Irish racer's end of season performance.

2013 AMA Supercross Anaheim 2 Race Report

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Ryan Villopoto claimed his first win of the 2013 AMA Supercross season and his first since the knee injury at last year’s Seattle round that kept him out of the 2012 AMA Motocross championship. The victory in front of 37,789 fans at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif., made up for his disappointing 16th place finish two weeks earlier at the same site. His Monster Energy Kawasaki teammate Jake Weimer held the early advantage in the main event, taking the holeshot ahead of the Honda Muscle Milk duo of Justin Barcia and Trey Canard.
