Honda CL description

This is the CL450 you've been looking for!  

Selling a 1969 Honda CL450 K1 from my collection of old Hondas.  It comes complete with the one year only reflector on the front fender!

This bike is in great condition for a nearly 50 year old bike.  It runs, rides, and stops great.  It has new tires (Dunlop Gold Seal K70) with less than 300 miles on them.

The motor was rebuilt by me 2 years ago.  This was not my first CL/CB450 motor rebuild.  I have done 8-10 in my life.  I have only ridden it about 150 miles a year since the rebuild.  I only ride it to motorcycle shows and get-togethers.

The motor was treated to new rings and gaskets all around.  And the valves were lapped and adjusted.  It didn't need anything else.  It does not leak nor does it smoke.

The seat is original and the top is soft and pliable with no rips or tears.

The tank is straight and has great original paint.  It does have a few small scratches and nicks but given it's age, it looks great. One of the badges is original and one is a reproduction. There is no rust or varnish in the tank.

The side covers have original paint and decals too.  They also have some nicks and pitting.

The chrome is in great shape but does have some very minor pitting.  The worst areas are the signals and the fork bolts.  WIth a little polishing it would look fantastic!

The exhaust is solid and in great shape!  There are some nicks and marks on the head pipes and some discoloration in a couple areas as you can see in the pictures.  The heat shields are as good as I've ever seen.

The only negatives on the bike are the front blinkers seemed to have stopped working.  Could be a loose wire... not sure.  The speedo cable broke on me this summer while riding and I have not replaced it.  I have put on less than 50 miles since it broke.  At forks are missing the fork boots.  I did powder coat the exposed springs when I replaced the fork seals last summer.  I think it looks sharp this way.  All of the cables are original.  I lubricated them all and they all work fine (except the speedo).

The carbs are clean and the tank and carburetors have been drained for winter storage.  It comes with a tool kit and a clean MN title in my name.

This is not the first bike I have sold on eBay.  Check my feedback... the few bikes I have sold my collection have pleased their new owners.  This would make a great addition to any collection, or you could take it to the next level of restoration.

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  Although I will happily work with the shipper of your choice.  I have had luck with the vendors on www.uship.com.  I have never had to pay over $500 for a bike to be shipped and most times it is around $350.

Please email if you have any questions.

Happy bidding!

New Honda Fury TV Spot is Scary [Video]

Thu, 28 May 2009

Ok, it’s not THAT new… Somehow it slipped passed me back in April.  I guess I was too busy watching people do wheelies on scooters. The new 2010 Honda Fury TV spot has a lot of quick edits of intense scenes including a shark jumping up at your face and various animals and people screaming at you.  Let’s not forget the dude getting punched in the face and people getting blown around by a tornado. Ya, it’s INTENSE and kind of scary.  You don’t see too much of the bike except for it standing stationary near the end.

WSBK 2013: Moscow Race Report

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Marco Melandri captured his third win of the season, the Ducati 1199 Panigale scored its first podium while Sylvain Guintoli regained the championship lead despite dislocating his collarbone days before the race. But the big news at Moscow Raceway of course was the tragic death of Andrea Antonelli in the World Supersport race. The opening-lap crash in severely wet conditions naturally led to the cancellation of the rest of the events as the World Superbike community mourns the loss of the 25-year-old Antonelli.
