All Original 1972 Honda Trail 90 Barn Find Survivor!

Here we have for sale a very collectible all original 1972 Honda Trail 90 barn find motorcycle. This is a very nice all original bike that has not been touched. This bike has been sitting, in a shed for almost 20 years before I had bought it. The previous owner bought it for his wife to go camping with but they only put about two miles on it before they parked it and put a cover over it in their shed and forgot about it for all these years. This bike is really neat and it's a rare color! The color is called Mars Orange and is seldom seen. The paint on this bike is in excellent shape and is very shiny! The previous owner did not believe that the bike had ever been off road. That makes sense, since there is no wear and tear under the bike or any real scrapes from hitting rocks and such. This bike has clearly not been abused. It has been adult owned since since and was original bought in Oregon before brough down here to Reno. There is some light little corrosion on the spokes and chrome and I suppose that is from when it was in Oregon. The bike has just over 1,700 original miles since new. They speedometer has a unique trip meter on it, which not a lot of these bikes have on them. The seat is original and it was the first year that Honda had the chrome buttons on the seat. The plastic is all original on the bike and in very nice shape! The headlight bucket and frame cover are always thrashed on these bikes but not this one! There is a scratch in the left side of the headlight bucket. It has always been garaged and parked under cover, away from the damaging UV rays from the sun. The air box is also in very nice, like new condition. There is a little crack near the mounting hole on the frame cover on the shifter side, it's very small though. The chrome is all shiny but shows a little patina from age and probably again from being in Oregon for a short amount of time. The tire are original to the bike, which is just crazy to see. The original tires can never be found on these old Honda that what makes this bike such a cool little survivor is that it's original and just plain beautiful. The exhaust is in excellent, like new condition with no rust issues or anything to speak of. The handles and controls are all in really nice shape and are original! The cables are all original and in really nice shape too which is really neat. The bike runs absolutely amazing. It sounds like a sewing machine. It super smooth and has been tuned up, carb rebuilt, and is ready to ride and enjoy! The transmission shifts smooth through all of its gears This bike has a high and low gear range on the tranny. I put a brand new battery in the bike and all the electrical is in good working order. The headlight works, brake light, tail light, dash lights, and horn all work. This is a great bike to take camping with your family and enjoy! This is a super collectible and highly iconic motorcycle that is super easy to ride and just have a blast on. Overall it's a really nice original bike that some some slight age, weather, and scratches but overall something that you would be proud to owner and show off to your neighbor! I have the original Oregon title that will come with the bike. Please ask any and all questions. My phone number is 775-830-6760. I recommend using J&M Transportation for shipping the motorcycle. They are a professionally and highly capable private shipping company that only ships motorcycles all over the United States. Please contact me for their phone number. They will treat you right if you tell them I sent you. I accept cash, cashiers check or money order. I can store the bike for up to a month so that shipping arrangements are made and the bike is picked up. Thanks for looking!

Schoolboy Heroes

Fri, 04 Mar 2011

A wet and grey day in Calais in 1992 wouldn’t be the obvious situation for a life changing experience, but for a 11 year old lad on a boring booze cruise from Dover this is exactly what happened. Pockets bulging with funny money I headed to the Tabac for the obligatory bangers, dirty playing cards and some sweets.  Then it happened, I stood in front of the magazine rack and reached up, as if drawn by an external force.  At the time I wasn’t tall enough for Playboy or L’ Escort so settled for a copy of Moto Verte, the French motocross mag.  Life would never be the same again. Inside there was a double page spread, with a fresh faced Jeremy McGrath resting a leg over his #15 Honda CR125.  Sporting a pair of fluro MX trousers with a, now retro, bright white surname emblazoned jersey, and casting an eye over a seriously vast motocross park.  I stared at this Sinisalo advert all the way home, partly because all the articles were in foreign, but also because I was transfixed.  What and how do I become a motocross champion?

CARB Certifies 2015 Honda NC700X – Still No 750 Engine in Sight

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

American consumers hoping Honda would replace its NC700X with the larger-displacement NC750X will be disappointed to know they might have to wait until the 2016 model year to get the 75cc engine upgrade. The California Air Resources Board has granted an executive for the 2015 Honda NC700X, certifying the motorcycle for sale in the state with the same 670cc engine displacement it had since being introduced in the 2012 model year. Now, this doesn’t mean Honda won’t decide to certify the 745cc engine after all; manufacturers resubmit and recertify models all the time, often replacing models are adding additional model using the same engine.
