DESCRIPTION

Great beginner bike. Great beach cruiser or local commuter or rv park or pit bike. Top cruising speed is 50-55 for about 185 lb person. Not freeway legal as it is only 125cc. Could also easily be converted into a cafe racer ...if you want to ruin it. ;).

The bike is 41 years old, and to my knowledge all the parts are stock except the side panels. Has new battery. Lights and blinkers work, gas tank clean, engine strong.

Mileage is under 2400.  Milage will be slightly more than what is featured on the odometer picture b/c i still ride to the corner store and around the block for fun.  It will be less than 2400 though.


KNOWN ISSUES

+ The floater in the carb is stuck - so gas drips VERY slowly from the carb straw. Pretty easy fix for mechanically inclined or DIYer w/youtube.  Tons of videos showing how to do this.  Look it up.

+ The speedometer works but the rpms do not, they sell replacements for everything on this bike on ebay. I never fixed this because you can listen to motorcycle for shifting purposes, so it wasn't necessary.

+ The black plastic covers on front shocks are ripped from age. Cosmetic, and not noticeable unless you know they were originally there. (see video)

+  These models run a 6 volt battery, not the standard 12 volt.  It is possible to convert them to 12 volt for more power for lights, etc.   As you see, the bike fires right up.  I took it for a ride as seen in the video and had no issues (the video cut out b/c i had my phone taped to the handle bars and ran out of storage for video on the phone - but you can see me shifting through all gears w/o issues, stopping and going, etc.  However, there seems to be a loss of battery power the longer you ride the bike.  Basically, after about 4 miles, if you come to a stop, the engine will die and you have to give it a minute before a restart.  I ran the voltage meter over this thing and there isn't anything grounding the wires.   It could just need a new wiring harness, new stater or even a fuse.  I will include a new wiring harness with the purchase of the bike.

Again, watch the video, the bike works and runs, but i wanted to be as transparent as possible about the bike. (I've purchased bikes off ebay and it is SUPER annoying when the person doesn't disclose the actual condition of the bike.)  This bike is over 40 years old.  A tune up is probably in order and most of the above issues will be fixed. 

Extras Included:
Trickle charger
New wiring harness
New Petcock

HISTORY OF THE BIKE:
1. Man bought it brand new in 1975.  Road it less than 500 miles. 
2. His son inherited and road it about 500 more miles. 
3. His son (grandson) inherited and road it about 1200 miles.  Sold it because he is about 6'3" and rides a ninja, so this isn't really his kind of ride and he is much too tall for it.  He needed money so i bought it from him.
4. I bought it paid the back CA fees and got it back on the road - and have ridden it about 100 miles. This is my first bike and I think it looks sweet and is an awesome get around the neighborhood bike, it gets the looks and the thumbs up,  but I have kids and decided to go with a Hondamatic - seems a little bit safer and has the capability a little bit faster.  When i bought the bike, the owner said he had just jetted the carbs,  This was only a couple months ago and I have been riding it pretty regularly.

Questions? Let me know.

Bear Riding a Monkey? Yep, Bear Riding a Monkey

Thu, 06 Mar 2014

Okay, maybe it’s not a real bear, nor is it an actual monkey, but “Bear Riding a Monkey” is as apt a description as any. What we have here is a video about a bear mascot in Japan riding a Honda Monkey. Why?

Natural Habitats

SAM Christmas has been a professional photographer for the last 3 years and is the man behind Natural Habitats, a collection of photos covering the growing UK custom scene, showing bikes and their builders at home.    Sam's clients include the likes of Honda, Dainese, Google, Polo Jeans and Edwin denim but Natural Habitats is a personal project that took one and a half years to complete. I got to meet Sam when the exhibition opened in Shoreditch on Thursday evening.

If you thought the license test was hard in America…

Thu, 28 Apr 2011

I’ll be the first to admit that the procedure to get a motorcycle endorsement (and a car license for that matter) in this country is incredibly easy. If you’re smart, you sit in a classroom for a few hours, answer some basic questions, learn all the controls, perform a simple riding test, and you’re off to the races.  Look at what the Japanese have to do to get their certification! Check out the video after the jump.
