1974 Honda Cb on 2040-motos

Selling another one of my toys to take care of an unforeseen expense.  This 450 has been my rider for the past two summers. It is the last year for this version of the CB450.  Experts say the first year and last year of a model are the most collectible.  This motorcycle has not been touched or detailed to sell.  When I found it, I was amazed at the originality and good condition.  It was sitting in a storage building when I purchased it two years ago.  Nothing has been repainted.  The chrome is all really nice including the rims.  I had the carbs gone through by a professional.  It starts great and idles and runs like it should. Drives out very nice through all the gears. There is no sign that it has been laid down as the original hand grips are perfect on the ends.  All the lights work...including instrument lights and warning / indicator lights.  The engine sounds nice and tight with no rattles and no oil leaks.  The original exhaust has absolutely no rust or rot.  Really unusual to find a CB450 with good original exhaust.  The seat is original and perfect.  The tool kit is included.  As can be seen in the photo there is a small dent on the right side of the gas tank and the left fork rubber is broken.   I though it was too nice and original to make any changes and I never planned on ever selling it.  However, reality has changed that plan..  The front brake master cylinder has been replaced with new. Both tires are new with only 60 miles on them.  The gauges work slow...they do not get up to the level where they should quickly as the needles move slow.  I was told with riding they will probably move like they should  as the lube/grease is old internally. I set the odometer to zero when I started riding it.  Now shows 59.7 miles. I am not sure if that is enough miles to get the slow needles moving correctly. The brakes are in excellent working condition.  The inside of the gas tank is rust free. This is a way above average original motorcycle.  It is by no means perfect or like new.  However, if you are looking for an original CB450 that runs and rides great that you can be proud of, then this is the one. It is titled, licensed and insured in my name.  Feel free to contact me through Ebay if you would like to come inspect the bike during the auction. I am in Dubuque, Iowa.  One of the American Pickers came to my place last week and bought two motorcycles from me.  They looked at this bike and was amazed at how original and nice it was.  They don't buy Hondas like this....but did tell me it was a nice example.  Good luck to all.  Someone is going to get a really great bike!
