1979 Honda XR500R C&J

In order to discourage all the ebay loonies who think it's funny to hit the buy it now and then just vanish, I have had to resort to an immediate deposit payment for this listing. In doing so ebay then required me to eliminate the 'make an offer' option here as well. 

1979 C&J XR500R - Real vintage C&J framed, tricked out 500R. Excel racing rims with new heavy duty stainless spokes rebuilt to Honda hubs. Piggyback Ohlins shocks were just completely restored/rebuilt. 43mm Showa forks also completely rebuilt with new heavy duty springs. Cleated wide racing foot pegs and cleated brake pedal. Powdercoated chromoely C&J frame & swingarm. Powdercoated engine. Custom fabricated aluminum side number plates/air box. Full custom Supertrapp disc exhaust w/custom headers: this exhaust system was custom built for this bike. Renthal aluminum bars & grips, Renthal sprockets & chain, vintage Sun Line controls, Whirlpool side pull throttle, newer Dunlop knobbies. The seat and aluminum tank are both from a '79 CR125R and they are extremely nice. New cables, Uni air filter in custom aluminum airbox. Vintage Answer Products bar pad. New Petty/Falk replica plastic fenders. There's more but I'm forgetting. 

Since this bike is constructed from mostly aluminum and chromoely, it is extremely light for a 4-stroke. I'm guessing weight somewhere around 225 lbs. Previous owner I bought it from is convinced that some valve/engine mods were performed, but he had no actual records to prove these mods. However, the engine does run excellent, starts up super easy, and revs up extremely quick when given throttle. This is not your typical XR500R engine, that's for sure. Bike is way FAST and handles superb just like all C&J bikes are known to do. This is a very trick and quite beautiful vintage MX thumperAsk yourself this: When was the last time you saw one of these available for sale? Or one this nice?

This bike is also for sale on my website AzMikesVMXbikes.com, and I reserve the right to end auction early with an acceptable offer.

$250.00 deposit due immediately through Paypal. Balance to be paid in full either upon pick up with cash, or in advance with check or bank wire transfer. Bike does not leave my possession until paid in full and all funds have cleared. Balance due within 7 days of final purchase. 

When I received this bike it was in restored condition. Bike was sent to my restorer for a freshening up and all systems were serviced and functional, along with a minor cosmetic upgrade. Bike is sold in used and as-is condition with no warrantees or guarantees of any kind offered. This is a used vintage off road racing motorcycle that has been 'fully restored', but buyer must know there will still be items needed to replace or correct by buyer, prior to buyer riding or racing this machine.

Mileage is an estimate. No actual numbers on frame or engine as this is a custom built race bike. --NO TITLE--

Simon and Leo

Thu, 11 Aug 2011

If you are a track day regular this year, you may well have bumped into former racer and friendly Kiwi, Simon Crafar. I first met him in Malaysia in 1990 when he was riding for a Yamaha dealer team, sweating his way round circuits like Shah Alam and Johor Bahru but with a long term plan to make it onto the World scene. And he didn’t take long as after riding for Honda in the UK in 1992 he moved to WSB in 1994 and enjoyed success with both the Honda and Kawasaki factory teams.

2014 AMA Supercross – Phoenix Results

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Kawasaki‘s Ryan Villopoto nabbed a hard-earned first victory of the 2014 AMA Supercross season, overcoming a poor start that saw him ninth after the first lap for the win. The three-time reigning champion found himself well back after the first corner as Yoshimura Suzuki‘s Jake Moss took the holeshot ahead of Yamaha‘s Justin Brayton and the KTM‘s Ryan Dungey. Brayton took over the lead by the second corner and would stay in front for the first 13 laps.

Buying countless tatty bikes. And that Marquez fella

Fri, 10 May 2013

A South African friend of mine called Trevor Binder told me last weekend I’m quite obviously in the advanced stages of a terrible disease. He recognises the affliction because he admits to suffering from the same condition for many years and so far hasn’t found a cure.  He says he can’t stop collecting bikes and while I didn’t think I had a problem, last weekend he pointed out I should be careful as I’m starting to acquire bikes at an alarming rate. I wasn’t really worried about spending a modest amount of cash an old KTM 125 race bike, a 350 LC and a Fizzy over the past six months but Trevor says I’m on a slippery slope.  He says it always starts with bikes that have some sentimental value but then swiftly moves on to buying any old tat.  Trevor is a wealthy man with dozens of nice bikes in his collection but more recently has been on Gumtree bidding for £150 Solex front wheel drive step - thrus, and doesn’t know why.  Closer to home, James Whitham has recently confirmed he may also have these symptoms and is actively seeking therapy.  I’ll be monitoring the situation from now on but in the meantime if anyone hears of a reasonably priced Raleigh Wisp for sale please let me know.
