Honda Other description

Cleaning out the garage - I'm downsizing to a condominium and the bikes have to go.  I am the 2nd owner of this vintage CX500 that I bought in 1980.  It sat in the garage unused for a number of years as I moved on to a Harley Davidson and just lost interest in it.  I recently went through it and changed all the fluids and tinkered with it to get it ready for sale.  Everything works - all the electrics, drive-train, ...  although it does run poorly - unresponsive, surges a bit, but does idle just fine after it's warmed up.  No doubt this is because the carbs are likely gunked from sitting too long so they need a thorough cleaning.  This bike is all stock (except for the little clip-on windshield you see in the pictures).  The tank is clean inside with no dents but there is a blemish to the graphic on the right side where I spilled some brake fluid while filling the master cylinder and a nick where the seat meets the tank (small).  Seat is perfect - no rips or defects.  The right fork seal weeps a little bit of oil (not bad enough to replace) but I did replace the left one as it was leaking too much.  The tires look good but they're ancient and should be changed.  It does have the markings on the crankcase showing the that stator has been serviced (original owner took care of that).  It has all the normal wear and tear you would expect from a 35 year old bike.  It's a good starting point if you're a VJM enthusiast and want to do a concours restoration.

Stoner Tops Day One of Sepang Test – Video

Tue, 28 Feb 2012

It’s been about a month since Casey Stoner last tested the Honda RC213V racebike at Malaysia’s Sepang circuit but the defending World Champion remains the man to beat, setting the fastest lap at the first day of MotoGP’s February Sepang test. Heavy rain limited teams’ testing and Stoner only completed 16 laps but still managed to set a time of 2:01.761. Stoner was the only rider to lap under 2:02, though his Repsol Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa came close with a time of 2:02.005 while completing 36 laps.

2013 Honda CB150R Streetfire Unveiled in Indonesia

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

Honda‘s Indonesian affiliate Astra Honda Motor unveiled a new CB150R Streetfire at the Jakarta Motorcycle Show. At this point, the Streetfire is only destined for the Indonesia market as the naked version of the Honda CBR150R (which itself a smaller version of the CBR250R), but it does give us an idea of what a potential CB250R would look like, if Honda decides to produce one. The Honda CB150R Streetfire is powered by the 150cc liquid-cooled  engine as the CBR150R.
