It looks great in the pictures, but it actually looks better in person. It was bought new in 1978, ridden for 6 or 7 summers, put away in a garage in the winter sometime in the 80's and never came back out until just a month ago. Paint on the gas tank, side covers, and headlight is original and it's in amazing condition, however the gas tank flap was repainted black because the original paint had peeled. The chrome is nearly flawless. After it's long nap we took it all apart and gave it a thorough mechanical restoration to bring it back to daily riding condition. It's ready to go and needs nothing but a rider! -We started with the front end, so we disassembled, cleaned out, installed and regreased all new upper and lower steering bearings; the front fork tubes and legs were also disassembled, thoroughly cleaned out, old fork seals removed and replaced, and refilled with new fork oil (see picture) -New handlebars installed -New clutch lever -New Motion Pro throttle, clutch and choke cables -Carburetors were ultra-sonic cleaned and rebuilt (see picture) -New Exide battery -New WPS 530 heavy duty roller drive chain -New petcock, fuel lines and fuel filter -New NGK D7EA spark plugs, NGK plug boots -Oil and oil filter were changed -New starter solenoid -Brand new Shinko 712 series tired and tubes -New counter-sprocket oil seal and shift shaft oil seal. No engine oil leaks!! -Ignition timing and engine valve clearances were adjusted to correct factory spec so the bike starts up very easily even when cold -The old front brake system was too far gone interally corrosion-wise, so we installed a new master cylinder and a new reproduction aluminum front brake caliper, filled with new dot3 brake fluid, bled and adjusted. Works great with no dragging! -The seat is the original seat from 1978 and is in amazing condition -The paint on the gas tank lid cover had some bare spots so we sanded it down and repainted it black. Originally from the factory it would have been the same Candy Alpha Red rather than black, but it still looks really nice! -Original pipes are in fantastic shape with all baffles intact -Original chrome wheels and spokes look almost new. Just amazing condition -High / low beam, brake / running light, horn and starter button all work flawlessly -Fires right up, runs and rides beautifully! Any more questions e-mail me! Happy bidding! |

Honda Developing V4 MotoGP Production Racer
Fri, 22 Jun 2012Honda is reportedly developing a production racer based on its RC213V racebike that could be sold to teams looking to compete in MotoGP. The new racebike is expected to be of a lower-spec than the RC213V prototype but perform better than a CRT machine with a production-based engine. According to a report by racing site MotoMatters and French magazine Moto Journal, the new V4-engined production racer will be sold to race teams instead of being leased, as is the case with current satellite teams and their race prototypes.

Honda has applied for a European Vehicle Type Approval for a new model
Fri, 06 Aug 2021Earlier this year, a Japanese company patented the name and layout of the new NT1100 model. A while later, renderings of what a sports touring car with the engine and transmission from the CRF1100 Africa Twin might look like appeared on the network. Since then, no new information about the appearance of the NT1100 has been leaked, but just the other day it became clear that the model will be presented soon.
