Currently Registered in CA, my name until Dec. 2016 Title in Hand - In My Name They only made the bike in one color in 1975 Candy Riveria Blue PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BIDDING OR MAKING AN OFFER. Bike is being offered Used, As Is. I will give you the BEST POSSIBLE DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION OF THE BIKE. These models are getting harder to come by and to be in this condition and with this many low miles is nearly unheard of. Beautiful Cosmetic Condition HERE ARE 4 Videos made about a month ago from the very first time i posted this on ebay: COLD START https://youtu.be/WFweLmHGZso BIKE FUNCTIONS https://youtu.be/O7_YyZouvnI KNOWN ISSUES: https://youtu.be/0KkVYLK-g4o SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS https://youtu.be/eK8nbjZAwSo DESCRIPTION Great beginner bike. Great beach cruiser or local commuter or rv park or pit bike. Top cruising speed is 50-55 for about 185 lb person. Not freeway legal as it is only 125cc. Could also easily be converted into a cafe racer ...if you want to ruin it. ;). The bike is 41 years old, and to my knowledge all the parts are stock except the side panels. Has new battery. Lights and blinkers work, gas tank clean, engine strong. Mileage is under 2400. KNOWN ISSUES + The floater in the carb is stuck - so gas drips VERY slowly from the carb straw. Pretty easy fix for mechanically inclined or DIYer w/youtube. Tons of videos showing how to do this. Look it up. Does not effect the performance of the bike. + The speedometer works but the rpms do not, they sell replacements for everything on this bike on ebay. I never fixed this because you can listen to motorcycle for shifting purposes, so it wasn't necessary. could be a loose wire or just need a new one. + The black plastic covers on front shocks are ripped from age. Cosmetic, and not noticeable unless you know they were originally there. (see video). Replacements are $10 on ebay. + These models run a 6 volt battery, not the standard 12 volt. It is possible to convert them to 12 volt for more power for lights, etc. I took it for a ride as seen in the video and had no issues (the video cut out b/c i had my phone taped to the handle bars and ran out of storage for video on the phone - but you can see me shifting through all gears w/o issues, stopping and going, etc. However, there seems to be a loss of battery power the longer you ride the bike. Basically, after a couple miles, if you come to a stop, the engine will die. Then after recharging the battery, it will fire up again. I ran the voltage meter over this thing and there isn't anything grounding the wires. It could just need a new wiring harness, new stater or even a fuse. I will include a new wiring harness with the purchase of the bike. I'm not a mechanic, sooooo, that is as far as my trouble shooting goes. It needs this resolved before it can be a daily commuter. Again, watch the video, the bike works and runs, but i wanted to be as transparent as possible about the bike. (I've purchased a bike off ebay and it is SUPER annoying when the person doesn't disclose the actual condition of the bike.) This bike is over 40 years old. A tune up is probably in order and most of the above issues will be fixed. Extras Included: Trickle charger New wiring harness New Throttle & Brake Cables New Petcock Valve HISTORY OF THE BIKE: 1. Man bought it brand new in 1975. Road it less than 500 miles. 2. His son inherited and road it about 500 more miles. 3. His son (grandson) inherited and road it about 1200 miles. Sold it because he is about 6'3" and rides a ninja, so this isn't really his kind of ride and he is much too tall for it. He needed money so i bought it from him. 4. I bought it paid the back CA fees and got it back on the road - and have ridden it about 100 miles. This is my first bike and I think it looks sweet and is an awesome get around the neighborhood bike, it gets the looks and the thumbs up, but I have kids and decided to go with a Hondamatic - seems a little bit safer and has the capability a little bit faster. When i bought the bike, the owner said he had just jetted the carbs, This was only a couple months ago and I have been riding it pretty regularly. Questions? Let me know. Motivated to sell! Make a REASONABLE offer and you could be riding in style this summer.
