If you're a serious buyer and need pictures of something else - you can ask. It has been perfectly mothballed and on museum display for over 14 years. This Motorcycle is titled and licensed in Oregon. I've acquired Special Interest Plates for it. They are good for life and NEVER have to be renewed. If the buyer lives in Oregon they will go with the motorcycle. If the buyer is out of the state of Oregon I will keep them and put them on another motorcycle in my collection. PLEASE NOTE - It has been recently un-mothballed in a loving fashion by my master mechanic. The fuel system flushed with non-ethanol premium fuel. Installed a new battery along with a new battery tender hook-up. It started up in less then 10 seconds and runs great! There are no fuel leaks. It idles perfectly with the choke off. It Revs & Restarts fine. It is ready to go and needs nothing to go riding. And/or it's ready to go straight into another Museum. Before going on display in the Museum the following was done - Not in any order . . Installed new fuel petcock Rebuilt Carbs with all Honda OEM Parts Carbs all Digitally Sync to perfection Installed new brake pads front & rear Installed New OEM Air Filter New Spark plugs Valves adjusted Installed New rubber cushions in the rear drive hub Rebuilt Front forks - new seal - dust caps and used 15w fork oil Recently After Being Pulled From Museum Display This Last Month - The Following Was Done Flushed entire fuel system/carbs with fresh Non- Ethanol fuel and filled gas tank with the same New Battery & Battery Tender Hookup - which can also be used to run Electric gear New front and rear brake fluids flushed and replaced with Honda Pro DOT 4 New Hydraulic clutch fluids flushed and replaced with Honda Pro DOT 4 Replaced engine oil & filter Tires have 150+/- miles on them in 4 rides. Everything checked fine on these rides and the bike is a blast to ride especially listening to the whine of the gear driven cams at the engine's 11,000 RPM redline. ___________________________________________________________________________________ PLEASE NOTE - IF YOU HAVE LESS THEN A 10 PURHASE OR SALES HISTORY - OR - LESS THEN A 98% FEEDBACK SCORE PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL SO WE CAN DISCUSS YOUR DESIRE TO BID IN THIS AUCTION AND WE CAN GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER - IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE RUDE AND BID ANYWAY - YOUR BIDDING WILL BE CANCELLED AND YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BLOCKED FROM ALL MY FUTURE AUCTIONS. _______________________________________________________________________________ If you are not knowledgeable about this bike but are interested please take the time to educate yourself through Google or Wikipedia. Also you'll be able to obtain all the specs and pictures you want to your hearts content at these locations. Now, The reason I am selling is - that I am totally out of room in my Museum - I still have about 5- 6 more bikes to sell . . . and have new ones coming . . . PLEASE do not ask me which will be the next motorcycles I'll be listing. I am deciding only one at a time. I won't be selling more than 1 or 2 at a time due to time constraints for my Master Mechanic to un-mothball each one and totally go through the bikes for confirmation of proper operation for the new owners. Couple of other points I want to cover that I've ran into with the last several auctions - 1- If you're in the area and would like to see the bike in person let me know - early on. 2- If you wait to contact me about ANYTHING concerning this Motorcycle - In THE ACUTION'S LAST 24 HOURS - you've most likely waited to long. Ask any of your questions early - come see it in person early. This is a 7 day auction. I do not sell Nom-Running or ill running motorcycles like so many people/shops on Ebay. My bikes can go straight into another Museum or, with a quick General Check Over Service can be driven to your hearts content.
