Honda Other description

Up for auction is a 1976 Honda MR175 with additional parts. I accompanied the original owner of this motorcycle to the House of Honda in 1976 when his dad purchased this bike for him. We had lots of fun riding this motorcycle through the woods near his home for a few years, after which it sat in his garage for over 20 years. I purchased the bike from the original owner around 1998 and had to clean out the fuel system, carburetor and gas tank to get it running again. My son used the bike for a few years and it sat again in my garage from 2010 until a few months ago. Unfortunately, the fuel went bad and I had to clean out the carburetor and tank again. The bike runs great, but I did put a different used gas tank on it to get it running quicker. The bike runs just like I always remember it running. Starts up with a kick or two on the kick starter. Please note the tires are original and should be replaced. Lights work, however the speedometer is missing the bulb for illumination. Click link below to see a video of the bike running after a cold start.

This auction also includes the following additional items for the bike, which are shown in the photos.

  • New Old Stock Speedometer
  • New Old Stock Front and Rear Fender
  • New Old Stock Headlight/Taillight Handlebar Switch
  • Additional Fuel Tank (that came on the bike when new)

Please note that the photo of the inside of the fuel tank is the fuel tank currently on the bike and not of the spare fuel tank that came with the bike when new. The outside of the spare fuel tank is in much better condition than the outside of the fuel tank on the bike. The inside of the spare tank was coated at one time, but would need to be re-coated to be usable due to surface rust.

I do not have any paperwork for the bike except the owners manual. This sale will include a "bill of sale only".  Please do not bid if you do not have the funds to make a purchase. A non refundable deposit of $200 is required via Pay Pal within 48 hours of the auction closing. Buyer is responsible for arranging and payment of shipping. Local pickup only. Please email me with any questions. Thanks and happy bidding.... Anthony

Rossi and Hayden Find Improvement but Disappointed with Results

Thu, 01 Mar 2012

The good news for Valentino Rossi is he managed to narrow the gap in lap times between his Ducati Desmosedici and Casey Stoner‘s Honda RC213V. The bad news is other riders improved more than he did. Rossi completed 57 laps and set a time of 2:01.550 on the third and final day of the second MotoGP test at Malaysia’s Sepang circuit.

The Postie Bike Challenge started in 2002 as a one-off event in Brisbane, Australia to prove that small bikes can travel long distances over both asphalt, dirt, sand, or stony surfaces has turned into a 10-day charity event.  The entry fee is $4,000 but almost everything is taken care of, including: Late model Honda CT110 Postie bike (registered to you!) All breakfasts, lunches and dinners All fuel for the trip One way air ticket back to Brisbane Support truck to carry equipment, clothing bag and mechanics Final celebration dinner and hotel accommodation That’s right, you can keep the Honda CT110 Postie bike (designed for commercial and agricultural, also used by Australia Post) but the concept is to give the bike to charity in your name after the event is over, its up to you but more than 90% of the participants do give the bike back. Hit the jump to see the video and for more info on this years trek. The 2009 Postie Bike Challenge will take place from October 3rd to the 13th and will go from Brisbane to Melbourne, the destination changes every year.  The route taken will be about 2,000 miles (the direct route is about 1,000 miles).  If your interested, get your entry form and deposit in ASAP, last years event was sold out.
