Honda CB description

THIS FEATURED 1981 HONDA 650  AND IDENTICAL PARTS BIKE WERE  ACQUIRED A FEW YEARS AGO AND WAS INTENDED TO BE MY RETIREMENT PROJECT.  NOT KNOWING THAT MOTOR WAS SEIZED WHEN I PURCHASED IT,  I WAS PERSUADED TO REBUILD THE TOP END BY A BIKE MECHANIC FROM HELL.... AFTER 2000 MILES THE ENGINE LOST COMPRESSION IN ALL 4 CYLS.  IT TURNED OUT THAT MECHANIC FROM HELL NEVER REPLACED PARTS THAT HE CHARGED ME FOR.  HE BLAMED THAT ON HIS FORMER MECHANIC AND AGREED TO REPAIR IT CORRECTLY.   HE SKIPPED TOWN LEAVING THE TOP END DISASSEMBLED.    IN THE MEANTIME, I PURCHASED NEW MAC TURNOUT EXHAUST ($400), POLISHED ENGINE CASES AND VALVE COVERS , BRAND NEW TIRES WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THEM ($300), AND AN IDENTICAL 81 CB PARTS BIKE WITH FRONT FORK DAMAGE WHICH I SUSPECT HAS A SEIZED MOTOR.  EXTRA PARTS NOT SHOWN ARE NICE CAFE WINDSHIELD,   4 TO 1 EXHAUST WITH RUST AND SMALL HOLE ON BOTTOM.  I HAVE NORTH OF $3000 INVESTED AND MY HEALTH AND PATIENCE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO CONTINUE WITH THIS PROJECT.... THOUGH IT IS A GREAT DEAL FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THE CB CLASSICS... THERE IS MUCH POTENTIAL WITH THESE TWO BIKES....REBUILD TOP END ON ONE AND HAVE A SPARE FOR PARTS OR RESTORE BOTH..   I HAVE BOTH CLEAR TITLES.  FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT 989 287 2004 (STEVE).  THANKS FOR LOOKING.

Casey Stoner To Test Factory Honda At Motegi

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

British publication MotorcycleNews.com is reporting that 2007 and 2011 MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner will test a factory Honda RC213V at the Twin Ring Motegi, Honda’s test track, August 6-7. Stoner’s shock retirement from MotoGP at the end of the 2012 season was met with skepticism in some circles, as many believed (and still do) that the 27 year-old, current Australian V8 Supercar driver would eventually make a comeback to two wheels. As it stands, HRC has no plans to enter Stoner as a wildcard entry at Phillip Island or Motegi MotoGP rounds, and insists the former champion’s services are being used strictly to help develop next year’s RC213V and the 1000cc production racer Honda plans to introduce next year.

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.

GSX-R600 and CBR250R the glass is half full

Wed, 13 Oct 2010

Suzuki’s GSX-R600 might not look that much different to the outgoing model but I suspect this bike could be very much a dark horse in 2011. I say this because two years ago I was definitely not building my hopes up en route to the K9 GSXR 1000 launch. The leaked pictures suggested the biggest change from the 2007 version would be some fresh graphics but I was so wrong.  As it turned out, I was greeted in Almeria with a brand new bike, built from the tarmac up and it proved to be more than a match in every department for the much hyped 2009 Yamaha R1.
