Honda CL description

1972 HONDA CL450 Scrambler All Original The CL450 Scrambler hardly needs an introduction. If you are reading this ad, then you likely know the history of these bikes. Following the immediate success of Honda's CL72 250cc Scrambler and the famous Dave Ekins/Bill Robertson Tijuana to La Paz ride in March of 1962 on 250 Scramblers, Honda decided to increase the engine size in increments from 250 to 305, and finally using the DOHC engine of the original Black Bomber, to 450cc. This particular bike is a 1972 model in its original red paint. The paint is shiny but has numerous flaws and scratches. There are some small dents in the fuel tank. All of the chrome is original. The fenders are nice and straight. The bars have been slightly bent, but are usable. The brake perch is broken (still usable) however, an NOS perch is included. All of the chrome is shiny, but has small pits, or freckling, or slight rust. All of the cables and wiring is original. The rear exhaust shield is incorrect. The bike shows 1098 miles, but I do not believe the mileage is that low. The seat is original upholstery, but has a couple small holes. It is still nice otherwise. The tires are old and will need to be replaced before riding. Overall the bike looks good, and the cosmetics are perfect for a daily driver. I bought this Honda earlier this year in a package of cars/bikes. It was not running, but the motor was free. I soda blasted the carbs, rebuilt them, rebuilt the petcock, adjusted the valves, installed new points, timed it spot-on, installed a new battery and fired it up. It started immediately on the button (electric starter). It doesn't smoke and it has good compression, HOWEVER, the chain noise is excessive so I have not run the bike for more than a minute or so. I have decided to sell it the way it is-starting immediately on the button, but with lots of chain noise. My passion is older British bikes, so I will not dig into this one..... All of the lights work, as well as the turn signals. It shifts through the gears, but I did not ride the bike to check the condition of the transmission. It appears to be a matching numbers bike. The frame # is CL450-5000255 and the engine # is CL450E-5000277. The numbers are close which is the way they all came from the factory. Please contact me if you have any questions. This motorcycle is sold with a clear California title in my name. It is currently on a "non-op" so there are no back registration fees. This motorcycle is not advertised elsewhere, and this auction is the exclusive opportunity to purchase it. There is a reasonable reserve on this auction.

WSBK: 2012 Phillip Island Results – Video
Mon, 27 Feb 2012Max Biaggi won the opening race to the 2012 World Superbike Championship while defending champion Carlos Checa came back from a high-speed crash in the first race to win the second at Australia’s Phillip Island circuit. Reigning champion Checa of Althea Ducati had a stunning high-side crash while leading on the sixth lap of Race One. The WSBK paddock was already in shock with the death of 17-year-old Oscar McIntyre in the Superstock 600 race the day before but thankfully Checa was not seriously injured.
Honda has patented a technical solution from the arsenal of the Gold Wing tourer.
Thu, 02 Apr 2020The modern Honda Gold Wing is equipped with a double wishbone front suspension, which not only increases ride comfort, but also allows the geometry of the motorcycle not to change during acceleration and braking. Lever suspension, which stabilizes the bahavior, may appear on other models of the company in the future. This is hinted at by patent images of similar systems integrated into the design of completely different motorcycles - the “classic” CB1100 and the small-capacity C125 Super Cub.
