CB450-1004116

Clear

This 1966 Honda CB450 has been owned for 20 years and has remained in the Los Angeles area from new. Power is from 444cc parallel-twin mated to a 4-speed transmission, and an electronic ignition was installed in 2015 along with a new wiring harness, control cables, starter, and more. Finished in black and silver over a black frame, this CB450 is now being offered \service records since 1998, a California black plate, and clean California title. The bike features silver painted fenders and a black tank with polished sides. Some paintwork has likely been carried out in the past, and larger scratches are pictured on the trailing edge of the front fender and on one of the fuel tank mounting feet. Some smaller marks are present in other spots. Black vinyl seat appears to be original, and the cover is affixed with rivets. The seat carries the Honda logo across the rear panel. The mirrors have been removed, though the bike retains factory lighting and mufflers. The 444cc vertical-twin is paired with a 4-speed transmission and is equipped with dual 32mm carburetors. A recent compression test reportedly showed 160 psi in both cylinders. An electronic ignition conversion was performed in 2015, and a new starter was also added along with new cables for the throttle, clutch, front brake, speedometer, tachometer, and more as detailed in an attached invoice. Records since 1998 are pictured in the gallery below, and a reprinted copy of the owner’s manual is also included. Feel free to ask any questions! My standard disclaimer/mantra for any bikeregardless of service or price: The bike is sold with no warranty. You are buying a used bike. Eventually every bike will break, if you find one that doesn't please let me know. I do my ABSOLUTE BEST to describe accurately the shape of the bike, but keep in mind it is impossible to discuss every detail of a bike for better or worse. I am not a dealer, just a guy who loves Honda (among other bikes) and hope to pass along my passion and fervor for these bike. That said if ever you encounter an issue I do my best to provide advice, direction or even parts if I have them. Please understand that it is a used bike and will have minor signs of use. That means please do not expect a showroom brand new bike. Please adjust your expectation level to that of a bike that however is good condition. This is a nice Honda of this year, but please just remember that no bike is perfect. It is though a clean, very nice Honda! Please only bid if you intend to buy. If you would like to have an Ebay 3rd party mechanic service check out the bike I MORE than welcome it. Please have the bike checked out before bidding and not after, if you intend to use that service. And please, if you would like to utilize this service, contact me with more than a couple days left in the auction so we can arrange schedules. Please check your local laws and registration procedures before buying. Buying over the internet can be scary sometimes! I get it, because I am an enthusiast too!! For that very reason, I am more than happy to answer every and any question you may so you know 100% what you are buying. But, please ask any and all questions ahead of purchase! It is impossible to list every pro and con of a bike, I am not an inspection service, it is your responsibility as a buyer to do your due diligence and inspect the bike. All sales are final, you are buying as-is, the sky is blue, etc, etc. Sorry to have to give the boring speech!
