Honda CB description

Just pushed this out of the garage for the first time in 10 or so years, last registered in New Jersey in 1981. I have no idea where the title is, as this bike was given to me by my brother with grand intentions of restoring it, but it never came to fruition. He tells me it can be re-titled through the New Jersey DMV, but it involves taking out a legal notice in the newspaper, doing a rubbing of the serial number, and running the numbers through the local PD. I simply don't have the time and the energy to do this, but I will be glad to provide a legitimately executed Bill of Sale. If you're interested in restoring it, I'd begin the paperwork procedure right away and restore the bike in the meantime. 


So I'm selling this as a parts bike. Part it out and sell the parts on Ebay if you please, and make a ton of cash---I simply need the room in my garage and am not inclined to do so. It would be, however, an easy restoration as all the parts are here, and the engine spins freely. There's a small dent in the tank and the plastic on the left side is cracked.

Bike has been stored indoors since new, but has the typical light pitting of chrome, which shines up bright as a penny with chrome polish and elbow grease. The cylinder assembly and pistons are fine. All parts are present and included in this sale, even the ORIGINAL and COMPLETE set of 4 exhaust pipes, and carburetors.

Pre-bid inspections are invited and welcome, just shoot me a message through Ebay and we'll arrange a time. I'm located just 10 minutes from Middletown, New York, between Slate Hill and Westtown.

GSX-R600 and CBR250R the glass is half full

Wed, 13 Oct 2010

Suzuki’s GSX-R600 might not look that much different to the outgoing model but I suspect this bike could be very much a dark horse in 2011. I say this because two years ago I was definitely not building my hopes up en route to the K9 GSXR 1000 launch. The leaked pictures suggested the biggest change from the 2007 version would be some fresh graphics but I was so wrong.  As it turned out, I was greeted in Almeria with a brand new bike, built from the tarmac up and it proved to be more than a match in every department for the much hyped 2009 Yamaha R1.

Honda Sold 16.8 Million Motorcycles in 2013

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Honda announced sales of 16.8 million motorcycles in 2013, an improvement of 8.7% from the 15.5 million motorcycles sold in 2012. The announcement was made two days before Honda’s third quarter report for the three months ended Dec. 31, 2013, so we will have to wait to hear the financial impact, but based on these numbers, the quarterly report should be positive.
