Honda CB description

VERY low reserve!  So..., bid to WIN!

***1974 Honda CB550 Garage find, One Owner*** 

***8870 original miles, patina out the yang!***

For sale is this beautiful old motorcycle with lots of character.  

The bad:

The paint is faded and it could use a good scrubbing!  Everything else is in real good shape considering this thing has sat since 1986.  You could get the body work painted back to the original color, clean it up, and have a pristine bike!  Everything else looks really good.  The tank doesn't leak, it's not dented, and there are no deep scratches in the original paint.  I left it unpainted because I LOVE THE PATINA!

The good:  

The pipes are very good with only minimal surface rust on the inside of the pipes near the frame but there are NO HOLES!  All of the baffles are still in place and the bike sounds great!  It appears that battery acid or something dripped down on the lower right-side pipe causing a stain.

The seat is in very good shape with no tears and no dry rotting, only minimal surface rust around the chrome on the strap.

The tires are like brand new with no cracking or dry rotting anywhere and minimal wear if any!

All electronics work except the low-beam headlight. This includes the starter, turn signals, horn, etc...

Mechanically it starts right up and runs good.  All of the original air-boxes are intact.  There are no engine noises and no leaks that I can see.  The front brake caliper will need taken off and cleaned and new fluid added.  The clutch has plenty of life and doesn't rattle.  It goes through all of the gears easily. All of the miles put on this bike were by the first and only titled owner!

Bonuses:

Includes the owners manual, unused tool kit, original Owner Identification Card, and the Original Title!  The title is open and signed by the previous owners (now deceased) Power of Attorney with a sworn affidavit included which proves the proprietor of the will had the right to sign the deceased owners name.  I did not change the title into my name because of it showing the engine number AND the VIN number both on the original title!  Very cool tidbits for the serious collector.   

This is a great opportunity to own a cool old bike and ride it as is or fix it up a little at a time.  

As is, no warranty expressed or implied.

Check my feedback and bid with confidence in knowing I haven't sugar-coated anything and will be honest and truthful with you.

Feel free to call me with best offers or any questions.

Cool Cycles Ice Cream

Mon, 20 Apr 2009

John Gibson had a vision 15 years ago to sell ice cream from a motorcycle sidecar, inspired while running as he listening to motivational guru, Tony Robins. After years of experimenting with different bikes and setups, including using the Russian made Ural (he once owned a Ural dealership), Gibson, finally settled on the Honda 750 Shadow and the Harley-Davidson 883 Sportster. The Cool Cycles Ice Cream Company is open for business, the headquarters are located in Tacoma, WA where they will start selling franchises within a 100 mile radius, the Los Angeles area will be next and Las Vegas to follow.

2013 AMA Supercross Minneapolis Race Report

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Hometown hero Ryan Dungey put a stop to Ryan Villopoto‘s winning streak, taking the victory before 48,846 supportive fans at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minn. The Red Bull KTM rider from nearby Belle Plaine, Minn., stalked Monster Energy Kawasaki‘s Villopoto for most of the race before taking the lead and winning the 20-lap race by just 0.903 seconds. The win put Dungey into second place in the standings ahead of Rockstar Suzuki‘s Davi Millsaps and perhaps more importantly, cut away at Villopoto’s points lead.

EICMA 2013: 2014 Honda CTX1300 First Impressions – Video

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

From the moment we published the 2014 Honda CTX1300 Revealed story, virtually all the comments about the bike have been negative. From its looks to its engine and everything in between, it seems that many of you aren’t a fan of Honda‘s latest entry into the cruiser(ish) market. Of course, all this judgement is based on pictures.
