Honda CB description
|
Up for auction is a project bike that wants to be something great. It's a turbocharged 1971 Honda CB500 with Benelli fuel tank, extended swing arm, Tarozzi throttle control, and Dellorto carburetor. This bike used to hang on the wall of Carpy's old speed shop in SoCal until he threw it on ebay, where I bought it. It's in the same cosmetic condition as when I received it, but I have obtained a Clear California Pink Slip, and I have had the bike running - it sounds like a MotoGP bike, or a horde of angry bees. The turbo exhaust manifold is not the more common log type from ATP (American Turbo Pak) and may be a one-off, or prototype piece. The turbo is an IHI unit, and the manifold on the intake side is from ATP. The turbo spins freely with little to no play.
The story from Carpy was that the bike was built for the salt. The clearest pieces of evidence to back that up are the extended swing arm, and the motor built with a CB550 bottom end for its better transmission, along with 498cc cylinders from a CB500 to qualify for the under 500cc class. It has matching 18" aluminum rims, and a pretty sweet bump seat. 3-ohm Dyna coils and a set of points were installed to get the bike running. The bike has no charging system, gauges, or front brakes. This is not a running/riding bike, but it is a great base for a very cool and unique bike for the street, or the salt some day. Shipping and/or pickup of the bike will be the sole responsibility of the buyer. The bike is stored safely in Cotati California, 94931. A deposit of $250 will be required within 48 hours of the auction's end, and the remainder to be paid by bank wire transfer, or cash on pickup. No refunds. The bike was previously listed in an incorrect category, and ebay pulled the listing. |

Honda Zoomer X Prototype – New Ruckus Concept Revealed in Thailand
Wed, 28 Mar 2012Honda Thailand unveiled a new prototype at the 2012 Bangkok International Motor Show showcasing the next generation of the Ruckus scooter. Known as the Zoomer in other markets, the Honda Ruckus is probably best known for its non-traditional scooter styling, with the usual tiny tires and wasp-like body replaced by a fat rubbers and exposed tube frame. The Honda Zoomer X maintains the original’s rugged-looking tires but instead of the exposed tubes, the Zoomer X has a boxy-looking structure, though like the original the space under the seat is exposed to the elements, so if you want to store something there you might have to break out the bungee cords.
