Honda CB description

Up for sale is my 1971 Honda CB750. I've had this motorcycle for 4 years and purchased it from the second owner. The motorcycle runs great. It starts up immediately and idles smoothly. 

The Good:
New battery
Runs, idles smoothly
Tank, chrome, and frame in great shape
Additional oil pressure gauge located on right side of engine
Amsoil full synthetic oil has few miles on it
Tires are in good shape
Brakes work fine
Radiator has been added for long cruises
Clubman handlebars give the bike a cool cafe look


The Bad:
Bike does not come with original exhaust. A sport bike pipe comes with the bike and can be attached
Throttle grip is ripped at the end
Seat has a tear in the seam (after market seats can be found online for around $100)
Small dent at the top of the right side shock
Paint wear where seat meets tank (covered by piece of black electrical tape)

If I were to continue to own this bike for the next 53,000 miles, I would replace the fluids. Besides that, the bike is turnkey and ready to go. I don't think the fluids need to be replaced, but it's always good to do so anyway. 

This is a great bike that's becoming harder and harder to find in good shape. It's got a great, throaty exhaust note without the pipe. It sounds more like a sportbike when the pipe is attached. You will enjoy it.

Metzeler Z8 wins Motorrad award

Tue, 10 Apr 2012

METZELER'S Z8 Interact sports-touring tyre has been classed as the best wet weather sports-touring tyre by the German Motorrad TestCenter. Metzeler decided to develop new compounds for the Roadtec Z8 Interact precisely to meet these needs, tyres with the specific goal of providing riders not only the most recent technological solutions available in the area of wet performance, but also the possibility of having a tyre with a wide range of use that represents the new standard in terms of performance in any weather conditions, from wet and cold to hot and dry. The criteria considered in the wet test by Motorrad TestCenter have been: steering precision and characteristics, line holding during acceleration, ease of handling, grip at lean angle for front and rear tyres, grip during acceleration, limit range characteristics, feedback at lean angle, braking stability during full braking with ABS.

Dan Gurney’s Two-wheeled Terror at IMS

Tue, 09 Dec 2008

When the Gurney Alligator A6 made its debut in 2002, the world saw a glimpse of a new concept in sport motorcycles. Long, low, quick and efficient like its namesake, the ’Gator was like nothing we’d seen before. The bike was the brainchild of Dan Gurney, the legendary F1 and Le Mans winning driver and championship-winning sports car builder.
