I bought my motorcycle in 2001 from a fellow ebayer in California for $1,500 and had it shipped for another $300. (I have the California title that I can sign over to the successful bidder). I lightly rode it on dirt roads by a lake property and decided to restore as it is a Sammy Miller design, manufactured for two years and it was in nice original condition. (The original fenders, fuel tank and some other parts are listed on ebay now as well). I stripped it and had the frame professionally painted, (color matched ppg paint) and started to re-assemble it in 2003. I purchased new fenders from an England ebayer ($325) and new side covers from a Germany ebayer ($400). I purchased a Nitto front tire (NOS) and a new Cheng Shin rear tire as I was unable to locate the Nitto rear tire. Installed new tubes and purchased new front and rear brake shoes. The fork tubes have new seals and dust boots and the front fender has a new mud flap. I found a better fuel tank and had it stripped and put the motorcycle in climate controlled storage. In 2004 I started to lose interest and stopped working on the bike. This week I took it out of storage. I changed the oil and spark plug and it fired right up and idles smooth. I rode it around the neighborhood, went through all the gears and tested the brakes. It is amazing how well this bike runs. The engine cases look like the bike wasn't ever ridden as a trials bike and the lower forks have almost no marks. I haven't cleaned or polished the motorcycle so it will look better than the photos when polished. Extras include a Honda repair manual, the owners manual, the Honda wing decals if you choose to paint the tank and lever control covers. See the up-close pictures and videos.

If you have questions or need information, pictures, etc.. please ask. I encourage it. If you are local and want to see the motorcycle in person email me so we can arrange it. Pick up at my house is available. Shipping is at the buyers expense and I can help with loading on a truck. I can transport it to a local shipper if needed, however a fee applies due to gas prices. It will be listed locally as well. Payment is due in full in seven days and pick-up by two weeks. This is a no reserve auction. Please see my other auctions. Thanks and good luck bidding.
