Honda CB description

I am selling my 1975 Honda CB750. It runs well and has tires on it with less than 200 miles on them. The engine was rebuilt two years ago and it also has less than 200 miles on it. The engine has new rings, the cylinders were honed, the valves were done and the carburetors were rebuilt. The second gear shift fork was replaced also. The bike is mostly original parts, but the pipes are  4 into 1 Kerkers. The pipes are solid. The paint is all original and in good but not perfect condition. There are no dents in the tank and the paint is pretty good considering it's age. One side cover has a hairline crack, that has been reinforced on the back side. The chrome has some pitting but cleans up well and shines with Simichrome. (see photos)  Some of the electrical was hooked up wrong, but it doesn't affect the running of the bike: example, the high beam doesn't go on. The bike starts well and runs smoothly. Slight road rash on the speedometer and left fork wing. (photos). The seat is original, but had a slit in it that was patched by a shoemaker from the underside. Original toolkit included. Brand new battery.

This bike would be a great bike to restore, chop, or cafe due to the engine rebuild and all the basics being there. I've tried to be as complete in my description of the bikes condition as possible. Remember that this is an old bike (garage find) that was brought back to life with some tlc. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Remember push starts?

Fri, 18 Nov 2011

Alongside the most stunning collection of race and road bikes at their Motegi museum, next to some race bikes, Honda also has a step by step guide on most aspects of riding. I photographed the wonderful text on push starting but I also have lots of equally hilarious instructions on cornering braking and even what a riders goal should be. Watch this space...... oh, and hopefully see you at the NEC over the next ten days!  

Recall for 2008-2010 Honda ST1300

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Honda is recalling certain 2009-2010 ST1300 sport touring motorcycles due to a risk of a brake fluid leakage. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the pre-formed hose supplying fluid from the rear brake reservoir to the rear brake master cylinder is routed in a way that puts it at risk of damage. When the Honda ST1300 is heavily loaded and ridden over rough surfaces, the rear suspension may bottom out, causing the hose to contact the swingarm.

EICMA 2013: 2014 Honda VFR800F

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Gracing the new 2014 VFR800F is traction control, ABS, heated grips, adjustable seat height and self-canceling blinkers. The V-Four-powered machine has been re-tuned  for greater low and mid-range torque, and also receives a new telescopic fork, Pro-arm swingarm, wheels, new, slimmer bodywork and styling. Starting with the 782cc V4-VTEC engine, Honda engineers focused mainly on cam timing and valve duration/overlap to increase low-to midrange power and torque, claiming 104.5 hp @ 10,250 rpm and 55.4 ft-lbs of torque @ 8,500 rpm. Bore and stroke is 72mm x 48mm, with compression ratio of 11.8:1. VTEC valve timing still operates one pair of inlet/exhaust valves per cylinder at low rpm, and then switches to four as revs rise. Honda’s single-mode Traction Control System (TCS) is fitted as standard equipment and is operated from the left handlebar.
