This bike is a rare and hard to find unrestored original. Starts and runs perfectly with both electric and kick start. It is ready to show or better yet ride.Original owner bought it, drove it home from the Honda dealership and parked it among his collection of classic bikes and cars. We picked it up 5 years ago in Ohio from the second owner, drove it about a mile and added it to our collection. It has always been stored in a climate controlled facility.Only 28 total original miles! It gets over 70 mpg on the highway.Originally designed as a retro-bike with the styling of the classic British twins that raced on the Isle Of Man. Its appearance has been likened to that of the Norton and Triumph racing bikes. Its beautiful black green metallic color with gold pin striping brings to mind that of the Velocette and HRD-Vincent colors.The most important aspect is the simple engine with a single, near-vertical cylinder reminiscent of classic British "thumpers" such as Norton, BSA, and MatchlessIt is in near perfect condition. There are a few paint chips on the top of the side cover plate as shown in one of the photos. This is one highly sought after collectible bike. An opportunity like this doesn't come up that often as it is nearly impossible to find a GB500tt in this condition.
