Honda CB description

Had the bike from a family friend. he got it 2 years ago from the original owner and never rode it. The bike is unmolested and almost 100% stock. (except 4in2 exhaust pipes and front turn signals). The bike was in a garage for the last 21 years. I put new battery, fresh gas, new spark plugs and new air cleaner and it fired it up. The engine sounds very strong but it definitely needs carbs cleaning/adjustment.
Rear brake, front light, tail light, and rear turn signals work as they should.
what it needs:
- front brake pads for sure and a complete front brake line tune up.
- tires (still has original ones)
Clutch and gears seem to work as they should but please consider that I did NOT rode the bike.
Great start bike for restoration.

Gardner chilling out and taking it easy

Wed, 14 Jul 2010

Away from the pressures of being a Grand Prix racer in the days when fierce on-track battles and unexpected highsides were common place, Wayne Gardner throws a Honda VFR750F around Oran Park in Australia. The bike that Wayne is likely to be riding is special VFR750F, that was given the codename '6X'. The VFR was an experiment with prototype components including titanium valves and magnesium flat-slide carburetors, the result was the bike that weighed less than a factory RC30.
