YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1966 HONDA CB-160 MOTORCYCLE. I PURCHASED THIS BIKE IN 1993 AND ROAD IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE I PLACED IT IN EXTENDED STORAGE. SO, IT HASN’T RUN IN ABOUT 18 YEARS. WHEN IT WAS RUNNING IT WOULD PULL STRONG THRU ALL GEARS WITH NO PROBLEM AND WAS REALLY THRILLING TO RIDE. ALL THE INSTURMENTATION WORKED AND ALL THE OTHER FEATURES SUCH AS LIGHTS, HORNS, ETC. BUT LIFE CHANGED AND THUS THE EXTENDED STORAGE. TANK WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED ALONG WITH THE CARBURATORS FLOAT BOWLS. THE BIKE WAS SPRAYED WITH WD-40 AND STORED IN AN ENCLOSED BUILDING OUT OF SUNLIGHT AND THE ELEMENTS. LIFE HAS CHANGED AGAIN AND IT’S TIME TO THIN THE COLLECTION. I RECENTLY PULLED THE BIKE OUT OF STORAGE AND GAVE IT A GOOD WASH AND CLEANING. IT HAS 7,870 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I MADE NO ATTEMPT TO GET THE BIKE RUNNING SO IT WILL BE SOLD NOT RUNNING AFTER STORAGE. THE ENGINE IS FREE AND HAS GOOD COMPRESSION. BUT COMING OUT OF STORAGE MAY MEAN CARBS NEED CLEANING AND AN ENGINE TUNE-UP. I LOOKED OVER THE BIKE AND THESE ARE THE BLEMISHED I NOTICED. PROBABLY WOULDN’T HURT TO REPLACE ALL FUEL LINES. THE TIRES HOLD AIR AND PROBABLY OK FOR SHORT RIDES BUT SHOULD BE REPLACED. CHROME HAS SOME PITTING . PAINT IS ORIGINAL SO SOME SCRATCHES. THE TANK HAS SOME SURFACE RUST AND MAY NEED COATING. THE TANK PETCOCK WORKS FREELY. THE REAR BRAKE CABLE RUBBER GUIDE IS BROKEN. THE HANDLE BAR GRIPS ARE NOT HONDA. THE FRONT FENDER HAS SOME DENTS AND NEEDS REPAINTING. THERE IS A TOOL KIT, BUT NO BATTERY, OR OWNER’S MANUAL. SOME OF THE NICE FEATURES ON THIS BIKE ARE THE SEAT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO TEARS. THERE IS A BACK REST ON THE BIKE THAT MAY BE A PERIOD ACCESSORY. I HAVE THE REAR SIGNAL LIGHTS PACKED AWAY SOMEWHERE AND SOON AS I LOCATE THEM WILL INSTALL ON THE BIKE OR SEND TO BUYER. THERE ARE “HM” MARKED MIRRORS ON THE BIKE. RUBBER IS GOOD ON THE FRONT AND REAR FOOT PEGS, SHIFTER, AND KICK STARTER. NICE THING ABOUT THIS BIKE IS IT’S PRETTY MUCH ALL THERE AND ORIGINAL AND IN VERY GOOD SHAPE TO BE 45 YEARS OLD. WITH A LITTLE MORE EFFORT IT COULD TURN INTO A SHOW BIKE. BUYER IS RESPONSILE FOR SHIPPING ARRANGMENTS AND EXPENSES, I CAN ASSIST WITH LOADING WITH A SHIPPER. BIKE MUST BE PICKED UP WITHIN 14 DAYS AFTER AUCTION ENDS UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENT ARE MADE. BIKE IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. A $200.00 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION END AND BALANCE PAID EITHER BY CASH OR “CLEARED” CERTIFIED CHECK BEFORE BIKE IS PICKED UP. PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES CLOSELY AND ASK QUESTIONS.
