Honda CB description
Summary: Vintage Honda in good mechanical condition, decent cosmetic condition, needs nothing, currently registered and ridden in CT (no title).
Bike starts, idles and runs well. Shifts through all gears with no problem. Brakes work well. Lights, horn and directionals all working. Charging system, battery and starter all good. Steering and suspension seem fine.
Oil and filter have been changed only a couple hundred miles ago.
Carbs have been cleaned and vacuum balanced using the Motion-Pro tool, valve clearances are all set to perfection. Cylinder compression is on spec.
Exhaust pipes, shocks and headlight bracket are off another 750K of the same vintage. Wheels, originally chrome, have been painted. Front tire is new; back tire has a lot of miles left.
Chrome fenders have minor pitting but still shine up well. Chrome overall is pretty good.
Front brake upper and lower systems have been rebuilt using OEM parts from Honda.
Seat has been re-covered, tank has been cleaned and lined with POR-15. Tank paint has scratches and wear but no dents.
Side covers are in good shape, matching, with the correct striping for the Excel Black 750K (so many badly repaired/painted covers out there on eBay!)
I have added a "National Cycle Plexifairing 3" windshield ($200) for highway riding (think warm hands in winter).
Bike is sold without title and no title is required in CT (and many other states) for bikes this age.
It was fun cleaning and restoring and riding this machine, but now it's time to say goodbye and get back some room in the garage.
I have lowered the reserve and the buy-it-now, so my loss is going to be your gain. The best riding days of the year are still ahead of us, so don't hesitate...Bid! (Thanks.)

Wed, 01 Jun 2011Words fail me. Presumably, if your pockets are deep enough to buy all the engine parts from Kitaco (how about a DOHC four-valve head?), this sort of performance is within the reach of every C90 Honda owner. All those cabbies doing their 'knowledge' would make mincemeat of London traffic with this sort of acceleration.

EICMA 2008: First Impressions
Mon, 03 Nov 2008I have had a little walk around checking out the preparations for the show. I haven’t seen anything that I haven’t already seen or heard about previously, but here’s a selection from three of the halls. Yamaha are the only manufacturer to use an industrial crane to place some of its bikes up on high rise stands.
