1982 Honda CX500TC

JH2PC0301CM000031

Own a piece of history! This incredible, low-mileage and well-maintained motorcycle is offered at no reserve. Bid to win! The mileage of 6,687 is true accurate to the best of the seller's knowledge -- it's NOT a typo. It had 6,217 on it when owner purchased it three years ago. Stock and original except for seat cover, oil and filters. Starts, runs, shifts, turns and stops perfectly, and shows no evidence of ever being abused or damaged. It's truly inspiring when it comes on the boost at around 4,000 rpm when the Turbo spools up and 82 horsepower kicks in. All electrics function, although the fuel gauge is a bit "off" in that it indicates about a quarter tank left when it's 3/4 full. Mileage in easy riding is over 50mpg. Original leather owner's manual and complete Honda repair manual are part of the package. No tool kit. Displays some minor cosmetic issues with engine brightwork typical of a a 29-year-old bike. See minor corrosion visible in closeup of serial number plate. Garage kept and adult owned. Carefully driven, obsessively maintained. Very early serial number indicates that it was #14 in the model run. 2,525 were imported to the US from a total production figure of 5,343. This model was produced for only one year. This is a RARE motorcycle! See "10/81" build date in photo of serial number. A highly collectible machine attracting international attention as the first turbocharged, fuel injected production motorcycle. Current owner is a grandfather and has done nothing but ride it respectfully and maintain it lovingly. Cash, PayPal or cashier's check only. Purchaser arranges for any shipping or transport, but seller willing to assist. 410-507-5410. Come look at it in Arnold, Maryland before bidding.

I've had several questions about this issue -- it's particularly apparent in the shot of the instrument cluster.
