I feel a picture says it all so I have up close videos with the motorcycle running here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mUR919Y0pU and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78EGyy53kq8 and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFw0p4rI7PY and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUPBYJqdAeY Here is a brief history: I bought my motorcycle in 2001 from an 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. In 2003 I stripped it and had the frame professionally painted, (color matched ppg paint) and started to re-assemble it . 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. By 2005 I started to lose interest and stopped working on the bike. In May 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. I listed this motorcycle on ebay in May 2011 for $2,000, had over 100 people watching. It is now $500 cheaper, however if it does not sell this time I will put it back in storage. Extras include a Honda repair manual, the owners manual, the Honda wing decals if you choose to paint the tank and lever control covers. 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 your name and telephone number so we can arrange it. It is listed for sale locally so I may end the auction early. I have sold three motorcycles overseas and had good luck with www.shipoverseas.com I have great feedback and I also have a 1974 Yamaha TY250 for sale see http://newyork.craigslist.org/fct/mcy/2617081073.html I will assist in shipping for a nominal fee however the full payment is due 7 days after the auction ends.
