Honda CB description

1974 Honda CB750 in decent daily rider condition. Has current DC title & registration in seller's name and is street legal. It's a real head-turner with a vintage style that stands out from anything else on the streets these days.

Bike has many upgrades, including:
  • Electronic ignition
  • High-output coils
  • Solid state rectifier
  • Entire new wire harness
  • New fuse box
Cosmetics are good enough to turn heads as you ride by. 4/4 exhausts were replaced with NOS parts in 2001 and are intact with no holes. Seat was recovered and has no tears. Side covers have no cracks. Tank has no dents; there is a quarter-inch chip in the paint on the left-hand side. Chrome has age-related pitting but no significant rust.

See it in action:
  • Running at idle and revving: https://youtu.be/n--NyvM7zXI
  • Riding up and down the alley: https://youtu.be/eLJuw6gbVQc
Wear & Tear:
  • Bike has been garage-stored unused for about 2 years and will benefit from a tune-up. It takes a while to get started when cold and the low idle gets erratic. Bike is fully-rideable once warmed up.
  • You can hear the front brake squeaking in the 2nd video; this generally disappears after riding a few minutes. 
  • The starter solenoid must be replaced. Starter motor works just fine if you jump the solenoid terminals with a screwdriver. This is a $35 part.
  • Tank interior has normal rust pitting from age and should be treated/lined at some point.
Bottom line: it's an old bike that's been idle for a while and needs a little TLC--but way less than a restoration. Contact me with specific questions and for more details.

This is a moving sale. My new place doesn't have a garage and vintage bikes don't fare well living in the open on city streets. Bike can be picked up in SE DC, near Eastern Market. I cannot deliver or ship; buyer must arrange for all transport after the sale.

Team HRC CRF450 Rally Prototype Video

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

In a just released video HRC Team Director Katsumi Yamazaki describes Honda’s Dakar weapon, the CRF450 Rally. Warning: Yamazaki-san’s monotone delivery manages to snuff the excitement factor of what is an incredibly trick motorcycle, but it’s still interesting to watch. Honda returned to the Dakar Rally for the first time in 24 years in January 2013.
