1983 Honda CM450A Hondamatic

Clear

RARE MODEL! ONLY PRODUCED TWO YEARS. 1983 Honda CM450A Hondamatic motorcycle. Two speed transmission with no clutch! In very good condition, garage kept. Approximately 4,875 miles, I’m still riding your bike so I can’t say exactly. Brand new tires, battery and mirrors! Fork seals replaced and inline fuel filter installed 5/14. Carburetor’s just cleaned and bike gone over and adjustments made if needed. Starts right up with the push of a button and also has a kick start. Runs great after a short warm up. Some flaws, a scratch through the decal on the right side battery cover (see pic). Some very small scratches here and there, very little surface rust on frame and rear shocks and a minimal amount of wear, it is used and an antique after all. The hard case saddlebags have a few nicks in them since they are not always on the bike and left behind to sit on a shelf. The seat does have a cut in it, with a ¼ tear, where it was modified to add a back rest by the person I purchased it from. Back rest folds down for easy on and off or you can just remove it if you don’t like it although it does add comfort. I believe Ebay has seat covers for this bike for around $50 if you decide you need one. Comes with original hard case saddlebags. I have an owner’s manual. I have a clean and clear title. This bike is being sold “as is” and “as is” is nice! The buyer is responsible for getting it from my home, pick up only. I will be as helpful as I can coordinating should you choose to hire someone to transport the bike for you but am only willing to meet them at the street in front of my home at a scheduled time. Best to hurry, it's getting nice out and I may need to keep it! $250 deposit required within 24 hours of auction end. The balance due by certified check within 72 hours of auction end. Motorcycle will not be released until payment in full has been received and cleared. Some info: The CM450A was a motorcycle made by Honda in 1982 and 1983. It was based on the CB400 and CM400 models (1978-1981), especially the CM400A Hondamatic (1980-1981). It had a 447 cc (27.3 cu in) SOHC parallel twin engine with two carburetors and a 2-speed transmission with a torque converter. It was not a full automatic, however, because the rider had to manually shift between low and high. It is called automatic because there is no clutch required due to the torque converter, and shared the Hondamatic trade name with Honda cars that had true automatic transmissions. The chain-driven CM450A had a top speed of 90 miles per hour (140 km/h) and weighed 413 pounds (187 kg).[1] Both models had a front disc brake and a rear drum brake. The suspension consisted of two shocks in the rear and telescoping shock-absorbing front forks. The gas tank had a 3.4 US gallons (13 l; 2.8 imp gal) capacity. The exhaust was routed through a separate pipe and baffle on each side of the motorcycle, although both exhaust pipes shared a plenum under the motor. It had an electric start with a kick start as well. Please email me with questions before bidding, I’m being as open and honest as I possibly can about the condition.
