1974 Honda Other

Clear

If you buy this and cannot find a shipper to pick this up in Hollywood, California within 30 days I will refund your money. Nobody else will do that for you on Ebay. I am the only honest person in Los Angeles when it comes to your money. My address is easy to find and for pickup. Ask somebody else on ebay if you can get your money back if you cannot find a shipper. But once this is gone it is gone. I do not want it back. It's yours. Here is a clean minty st 90 that has the original California plate which is clear and currently registered. By minty I mean that it is very original and not beat up. I do not know if the mileage is correct. I did not roll it back. The tires are in decent shape and look like they are about 20 years old.I had a tune up at Honda last year that cost about $800 total after two times in the shop. They did things like the fork seals , battery and checked the brakes along with working on the carburetor. I thought that I was going to ride it but I am getting old and this takes up my garage path to get to my tools. This is probably as close to perfect cosmetically and unmolested as you are going to find. The previous longtime owner died on this one. The muffler system is exceptionally quiet. It may need a tune up for this season but it did start. It should not need much. It may or may not leak gas at the shut off valve. I started it up a month ago. Has the advantage of the original plates and blinkers. Another big advantage is that it is currently registered with paperwork. The seat looks original so you can tell that it has been well kept. It drives straight and the forks are not out of alignment. It looks like it has never been down. The mirror fell out on 1 rear view mirror and that needs to be replaced. I took this bike in for two tune ups last year. One was to make it road worthy with decent, brakes tubes and seals. The second was to fine tune it. So I never had any intention of selling this. Otherwise I would never have taken this to the dealer. How much is your time worth as this bike is worth more money to the buyer because it currently CA registered and I have the pink slip. Where are you going to find a 40 year old bike that has the original plate and frame that is active? It is not going to happen very much. Buying a bike with partial papers and only a hand written receipt is very problematic. You have to take it to Highway Patrol for inspection. I bought a motorcycle on ebay in 2005 with partial papers and it turned out to be a 1976 stolen. They kept the bike for over a month. The only reason I got it back was they could not contact the original owner because the original police report was missing. They search nationally today when you do not have all the papers. This was a very unpleasant experience. Do you want to give your bike away after you have fixed it up? I This is why I will not buy anything without a pink slip today. What you see is a copy of the old pink slip. I do not have this anymore. I had to turn this in to get it registered in my name and now I have a new certificate of title which is still pink. My purpose is to show you that this is a southern ca survivor with a clean paper trail. I need the buyer to beware on this bike. It is 40 years old. If you don't want to spend any money on it that is for you to think about. It is a Honda so that is good to start with. Most sellers of vintage motorcycles on ebay will not use their regular account. They generally put up a new identity because they expect bad feedback and then they can throw away a negative since they have no credibility to begin with. They go new identity to new identity for every crummy bike they sell. I have sold motorcycles and cars before. Check out all the Honda 750s and vintage triumphs. Notice the sellers do not have any positive feedback for the most part when it comes to big sales. I do not buy motorcycles to resell them. People who do that do not take them to the Dealership for repairs and Register them in their name. This bike is more fun to ride than a trail 70 because it is larger and will not wear you out fast because of crunching to fit a smaller bike. The wheels are larger and it naturally just wants to roll without resistance. Check out that nice original license plate frame with the AJS Norton Tustin dealership on it. How often do you see that. That would be worth 200 bucks by itself to a triumph or ajs owner. Buying a Vintage Motorcycle on ebay from anyone in Southern CA can be a negative experience. For some reason vintage m/c and cars attract bottom feeders trying to make a buck because they cannot hold a job anymore. I have 14 years of feedback. Check out my past motorcycle and car sales. Every bike or car I ever sold got great feedback. I am very helpful to those who want this shipped. Sometimes motorcycle and car movers show up on the wrong day or the middle of the night. I am retired so I am available. Not everyone is so nice after they get your money. I will do everything possible to make sure it gets on the truck. If you think the price is too high well consider buying something overrated from a bottom feeder for less. You can put twice the amount of money into an old bike very fast but if it is cosmetically rough that is a big waste of your money. I did not prep this. It is basically rust free. It's clean all the way around. It does say make an offer. I am not getting back what I have into this at this time. I got over 2k into this but I need some garage space back. When your garage is full nothing gets used and you start rebuying what you already have at the hardware store.The reason I bought this bike a year ago is because it was extra clean and had the original plates. Having the original California plates on a desirable collectable car or motorcycle can raise the value by 1000s of dollars. This is why I grabbed it.
