Im selling a great running 1972 cb500! I bought this bike last year as a first bike and it has been a blast to ride! Ive ridden it to and from work (300+ miles a week) as a near daily driver for past 12 months and it has not given me any problems or broken down on me once! This thing is great whether you are just riding around town or taking it on a highway cruise. Not only does it save on gas (I regularly get up to 45 mpg (highway) on it) its slim profile allows easy filtering and lanesplitting helping me many times with LA rush hour. Also it has enough power to pass cars in the carpool/fast trac lanes no problem (It can go 90+ mph all day long!) Running ability aside, this bike is a classic vintage beauty that gets looks and compliments everywhere I go!


When it comes down to it, cosmetics and age aside, this bike is a reliable and simple bike to work on, is very forgiving power and handling wise, and looks AWESOME. Im also going to throw in freebies(SEE EXTRAS) Cant go wrong here folks! ALSO CHECK OUT THE YOUTUBE VIDEO!!
