1972 Honda CB

cb5002034401

I am listing my trusty 1972 Honda CB500, I purchase this bike from the 2nd owner who was a retired Police Officer. The BIke was well maintained through out it's life and is very clean, and presentable. I have owned both a 1970 CB750, and this CB500... and honestly, they drive about the same! in fact I find the CB500 lighter, and easier to get around on... more user friendly then the 750... but that's just my opinion :) I drove this bike the past couple summers, right up into fall. She is reliable, can keep up with highway traffic and is great on gas! She has just over 25,000 miles on her, I have not done anything more then oil and regular maintenance. The tires are getting older, maybe a season left, but would recommend replacing them in the near future. All lights, horn, starter etc all work great. I have added a "moon-eyes" style headlight cover, trying to get a vintage cafe look. it just unclips, no modifications were done to make it fit. the Seat is in very nice shape, the paint is shiny, and looks good, all chrome is nice, with only minor marks. This bike is close to 40 years old, and does have a couple marks, I have attached pictures of any perceived issues, and honestly the bike looks really nice, but wanted to be as honest as possible with the pictures here, so all the close up shots show the worst bits. I would say they are all pretty superficial. one side cover has been repaired, there are a couple small dents, engine side cover, tank and muffler. lost a baffle last summer, so needs to be replaced. In all the bike is registered and insured right now, through 2013, I have the registration (like a title) and insurance papers for her. I am located in the city of Edmonton Alberta, north of Montana (for my American cousins:) there are Many bike shops here capable of crating and shipping this bike, however that would be for the buyer to arrange. I can assist with names, but the cost, and such are up to the buyer. The bike is stored in my insulated garage in Winter under a cover, so is quite safe here while arrangements are made. Any questions, just ask!
