Honda CB description

Up for auction is a project bike that wants to be something great.  It's a turbocharged 1971 Honda CB500 with Benelli fuel tank, extended swing arm, Tarozzi throttle control, and Dellorto carburetor.  This bike used to hang on the wall of Carpy's old speed shop in SoCal until he threw it on ebay, where I bought it.  It's in the same cosmetic condition as when I received it, but I have obtained a Clear California Pink Slip, and I have had the bike running - it sounds like a MotoGP bike, or a horde of angry bees. The turbo exhaust manifold is not the more common log type from ATP (American Turbo Pak) and may be a one-off, or prototype piece.  The turbo is an IHI unit, and the manifold on the intake side is from ATP.  The turbo spins freely with little to no play. 

The story from Carpy was that the bike was built for the salt.  The clearest pieces of evidence to back that up are the extended swing arm, and the motor built with a CB550 bottom end for its better transmission, along with 498cc cylinders from a CB500 to qualify for the under 500cc class.  It has matching 18" aluminum rims, and a pretty sweet bump seat.  

3-ohm Dyna coils and a set of points were installed to get the bike running.  The bike has no charging system, gauges, or front brakes.  

This is not a running/riding bike, but it is a great base for a very cool and unique bike for the street, or the salt some day.

Shipping and/or pickup of the bike will be the sole responsibility of the buyer.  The bike is stored safely in Cotati California, 94931.  A deposit of $250 will be required within 48 hours of the auction's end, and the remainder to be paid by bank wire transfer, or cash on pickup.  No refunds.

The bike was previously listed in an incorrect category, and ebay pulled the listing.

Stoner Tops Time Sheets as Honda MotoGP Testing Resumes

Thu, 01 Mar 2012

Missing a day of testing didn’t appear to have a negative effect on Honda riders Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa. After missing the second day of testing because of a potential engine problem, the Repsol Honda riders were back on the track for Day 3 where they regained the top two spots on the time sheets. Honda held back Stoner and Pedrosa as well as satellite team riders Alvaro Bautista and Stefan Bradl yesterday to investigate an engine warning light that lit up on the dash of Pedrosa’s RC213V on Day 1.
