Honda CB description

I'm selling my rare 1976 Honda CB750A Hondamatic. It is mechanically sound and runs well. I bought it last year from a friend who no longer rides. The odometer says 29,900 miles but it was not working when I bought it so I have no idea of the original miles. The speedometer works fine now. The carbs have been cleaned recently, has new tires and tubes, new AGM battery, rebuilt master cylinder, new air cleaner, new mirrors, fresh oil and filter. It has been a daily rider since spring arrived..

Everything left to do on the bike is cosmetic like cleaning, removing surface corrosion on the forks and cleaning several years of dirt in hard to get places. The paint is all there but shows it's age. The seat pan and cushion is good but the left front side has a tear, repaired with tape that looks ok for me. A replacement cover is advertised on eBay for $79. The bike starts and runs fine and is a blast to ride. Just put it in low or drive and go. Everything on the bike works, signals, horn, fuel gauge, etc.The things that are frequently missing are there like the hard to find side covers and original air box. I'm only selling it because I have two other bikes and am out of room.

I'll try to add more pictures later or upon request. The bag attached to the rear is NOT included (it belongs to my son).

Buyer is required to pay a $500 deposit at the end of the auction. Pickup in East Alton, IL (near St. Louis, MO) or arrange shipping at the buyers expense.

Here is a link to the step-by-step instructions, check out the video after the jump. The GomiCycle – An Electric Motorcycle Conversion from Media Sapien on Vimeo.

The future. But we can't have it

Thu, 10 Nov 2011

It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.
