Honda CB description

Up for auction is an exceptional vintage Honda 350-four.  My brother and I purchased it with 252 original miles on it in 2005 from a friend of the original owner and it had been sitting covered in a garage since 1974.  Though it was hardly used, it needed a lot of detailing and effort to make it show condition.  Since then it has taken a number of 1st and 2nd place finishes in various shows including Cycle World Magazine's Rolling Concours and AMA's Vintage Motorcycle Days.  It was even invited and featured at the AMA's "Concours d'Elegance" at their Pickerington, OH Museum.  I was approached at the Cycle World Rolling Concours event in Knoxville years ago, by Jon Seidel of American Honda Motor Co., to donate/sell it to them for their museum.  This would have been nice but I would have lost thousands doing it.  I have now had and enjoyed it for 10 years but it is time to sell as I'm getting close to retirement and my wife and I have "downsized" our home and my collection of 9 motorcycles has to be reduced.  This machine runs flawlessly and has always been stored in a temperature/climate-controlled environment (my office at work).  It has the original owners manual, tool kit (both never touched).  The only flaws are 1 minor ping on a muffler and a very small spot of corrosion on the infamous #2 pipe. This is  a no-reserve auction (I don't care for reserves as I'll start the bidding at my threshold of sale price), with a "buy-it now" option.  I'm also listing it locally and may have to pull from auction if it sells.  I'm offering a money-back guarantee as I don't see any way that a buyer could find fault with it.  This really and truly would be what have come off the show-room floor in 1974, except that is 2016.  It is about as perfect as you could get.  Purchaser is responsible for shipping arrangements, though I can help to meet the transporter and help load.  I'm also open to picking up directly, if you are close enough.  I require an immediate $500 down payment via PayPal, with balance due at buyer pick-up or before transporter picks up. I'm happy to field any questions.  Thank you for considering!

Own A Scale Model Of The Elf5, One Of The Most Unique Racing Motorcycles Ever

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

If you’re a fan of scale model racing motorcycle kits, this 1/12 scale model of the Elf5 racer, as ridden by Ron Haslam in 1988, should make your mouth water. Designed by famous F1 designer André de Cortanze, the Elf5 was the culmination of a radical experiment by de Cortanze and Elf, the French petroleum giant. And even though it didn’t claim the racing success Cortanze and Elf had hoped, the experimental Elf motorcycles hold a distinctive place in motorcycle racing history, with some of its technology still in use today.  Powered by a Honda NSR500 V4 engine that served as a stressed member and main mounting structure for the single-sided swingarms both front and rear, this recently released scale model is based closely on the actual Elf5 racing machines. This full detailed kit maintains the single-sided suspension, with the front suspension consisting of aluminum alloy and springs that will be partly movable.
