removed front signals

Original cx500 custom double seat in great condition

Problems

The bike has been my primary mode of transport for the past year, inspected and insured in NYS, until last month when the power went out. I think there is a charging problem - it has just had a new battery put in. Runs great after a bump or jump start, electrics all fine and the engine sounding good. Just need to work on the charge problem.

The only other problem to my knowledge is that the brake signal from the handlebar isn't working.

This is a great opportunity for someone to upcycle this bike, either with an original restore or to an even better cafe racer / tracker / bobber. Viewings available. Payment by cash or paypal.

McGuinness to Race Honda CBR500R at 2013 Isle of Man TT

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Honda is serious about showing off the racing prowess of the CBR500R. Sharing much of the same components as its siblings the CB500X and CB500F, it’s easy for critics to question whether the CBR500R is worthy of the CBR designation. The first thing Honda did to try to dispel those worries is to secure the CBR500R as the spec race bike for the 2013 European Junior Cup, a racing series for youths held at select rounds of the World Superbike Championship.

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

Yoshimura Suzuki‘s James Stewart captured his third win of the 2014 AMA Supercross season and 48th 450 class victory of his career, tying him with Ricky Carmichael for second on the all-time win list behind Jeremy McGrath‘s 72. Racing before a crowd of 50,856 fans at Ford Field in Detroit, Stewart took the lead from holeshot-taker Cole Seely shortly before the end of the second lap and led the rest of the 20-lap race for the win. Stewart led by as much as 7.1 second but eased off at the end, crossing the finish less than two seconds ahead of Kawasaki‘s Ryan Villopoto.
