Vehicle Detail
Purchased last year from the Motorcycle Museum in Greenbay Wisconsin, this is a very clean example of a classic bike in VERY GOOD CONDITION. Tires are great with lots of tread (see pictures) paint is perfect and the bike was regularly serviced and had its oil and filter changed. I have only had the bike for a year, and now must sell it because apparently there is a "rule" in my household that one motorcycle is enough (who knew?!) -- so the arrival of a used BMW R1200RT requires that this fine Honda be sold. The bike runs well and needs nothing. The only flaw I've found is a nickel sized dent in the muffler (see picture). I am in my 60's, and owned bikes like this when they were new...! The bike has always been stored indoors and received routine maintenance. I am, the Museum owner said, the third owner. The museum regularly serviced and briefly drove this bike even though it was part of the collection. (I have the most recent service record from the Museum). This is a clean, authentic bike and runs fine, but it is 35 years old, with a rear drum brake. This is not a first bike for a beginner. It is, however, an easy bike to ride because it has no clutch and shifts between a low and a high range (with neutral in between). Seat is goodChrome is goodTires appear quite new and are correctPaint is perfectAll lights, horn and turn signals work greatBattery seems fine, and it started right up this Spring. I want to sell this promptly and have set the price well below the value of this bike (the Museum appraised it at around $3,000 based on an appraisal system for vintage motorcycles). Sorry the photos aren't so great, I took them in a shady area. If you "Buy it Now" I will throw in a brand new cover and a Shoei RF-1000 helmet in like new condition! (Sorry, but you must have at least 10 positive feedbacks to bid, unless you contact me first. Otherwise your bid will be cancelled).On May-12-14 at 11:46:48 PDT, seller added the following information: NOTE: Some bidders have pointed out correctly that the motorcycle has been repainted. It clearly has, and though it is well done, this is not, I don't believe,an original color for this model.On May-13-14 at 16:02:36 PDT, seller added the following information: TWO FURTHER THINGS: 1)The "Buy it Now" of $1,895 disappeared for some reason, but if the bidding reaches that price I will include the Shoei RF-1100 (size Medium, white, very good condition and about 2 years old) and a new cover that I just bought from Revzilla. 2)I think the fuel gauge does not work, or works sporadically. Thank you for your bids!
