1965 Honda CL

Clear

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 This barn find was built into a vintage road racer with the plan to compete nationally. Medical problems ended that plan but it is a slick little road racer and doesn't belong in my garage. It has been in storage for the last six months but with fresh gas, it started on the fourth kick. It is designed to bump start and I only use the kickstarter in the shop. It is ridiculously easy to bump start. It runs on Blendzall Castor Bean Racing Oil like the old days. Bean oil is not compatible with other motor oil so if you want to change over you will need to run a detergent cleaning oil (available from Blendzall) through it. I have a couple of quarts of bean oil to go with it. It smells excellent. Most of the nuts have been drilled for safety wire, it has a kill switch and a scatter pan as most organizations require. Buy it-drive to the track-race it-it's ready to go. While in storage a box fell on it and broke the windscreen. A new one is on order and will be included.After finishing the bike I ran it on track day at Cresson,Texas. It pulls hard (as hard as 160cc can pull) stops well with the drum brakes (didn't fade) and shifts well. It sounds racy also. It was a blast to ride and handled great. The engine has about three hours run time.The engine is called a "sloper" as the cylinders are canted forward. Later engines had the cylinders perpendicular. I believe Honda only made it two years. Parts are cheap and readily available.Local pickup up or I will meet you within 100 miles. Otherwise shipping is buyer's responsbility1965 Honda CL160 4-speed Sloper- Clear Oklahoma title.
