Honda Other description
Selling my very carefully restored 1965 Honda 250 Scrambler CL72. This is a matching numbers motorcycle (or as close as it got back then). I found this bike around 2002 through a local VJMC notice advertising a free Honda Dream. Turns out it was this Honda CL72 that had a connection to the same family since the mid-60's. A young man in Indianapolis owned it and was drafted and went off to Vietnam where he was killed in combat. Dad gave and sold the bike several times with the understanding that it be offered first to him when that owner was ready to sell. So, all owners over the years did just that and the last one returned it to the father where it sat in his garage for several years. He finally was ready to move on and offered it for free to a good home. I was lucky enough to be the first one to get there. For the next several years, I worked on faithfully restoring the bike to it's original state using the Bill Silver guides, photos and other reference material I could find. I have seen many ads for Honda CL72's for sale on eBay over the years and almost none of them are truly correct. Other than the paint and spokes and maybe one cable, this bike is as close to bone stock as you're likely to get. If you are looking for a truly original CL-72, this is a good choice. I have had it for several years and it it time to hand it off to a new proud owner. Moving to California and a smaller garage Here are the details on the resoration that was completed in 2007.
This bike appears in the August 2009 edition of the VJMC Magazine in an article I wrote comparing this restored 1965 with an original 1964 CL72 I owned at the time. I'll include a copy of the issue with the sale. You could also read the article in the VJMC archives if you are a member. The article also describes in more detail some history about the previous owner. There is also a short video posted that you can view at http://youtu.be/FG_xZHmVnIA . As with any vintage vehicle, there is no warranty. Bike is sold as is, where is. With that said, I will assist any buyer as necessary to get the bike to it's next home - always do! I am now located in Menifee, California. If you live near by and want to come see the bike, just let me know. Also, if you live in Southern California, or maybe even Northern California, I may be tempted to deliver or meet the buyer somewhere. We can work out the details, but I do ask that you check with me prior to bidding. Please note that I value my feedback rating and do my best to describe all items accurately. However, I may miss something that you consider important so please feel free to ask questions - prior to bidding please. Good luck!

EICMA 2013: 2014 Honda VFR800F
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Gracing 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.
