WELL IT HAS COME TIME TO SELL MY SWEET LITTLE 500 FOUR! I HAVE FAR TOO MANY BIKES AND I AM STARTING TO SELL SOME OF THEM. THIS BIKE IS ONE OF MY NICEST MOSTLY ORIGINAL BIKES AND I AM SURE I WILL MISS HER WHEN SHE GOES TO HER NEW HOME. ANYWAYS I HAVE DECIDED TO LET GO AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET A VERY NICE BIKE. I STATED IN MY TITLE FOR THE AUCTION THAT THERE IS SOME RESTORATION ON THIS BIKE. THE BIKE HAS BEEN REPAINTED BUT WHO EVER DID THE WORK IS A MASTER BECAUSE THE COLOR IS RIGHT ON,AND THE FINISH AND SPARKLE IS AMAZING!! THE CARBS HAVE BEEN SONIC CLEANED BUT ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS ARE STILL IN GREAT CONDITION. THE INSIDE OF THE TANK IS ALSO VERY CLEAN. I DID REPLACE THE FUEL PETCOCK WITH A HONDA N.O.S ONE. THE ORIGINAL #323 EXHAUST ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION(AND THEY SOUND GREAT). THE ORIGINAL SEAT IS LIKE NEW. I HAVE BEEN RIDING THE BIKE TO WORK ON NICE DAYS AND IT RIDES SMOOOTH. THE LIGHTS ALL WORK AND ALL MECHANICALS WORK FINE TOO. THE TIRES ARE IN NICE CONDITION ALSO. THE BIKE WAS BUILT 10/71 SO IN MY BOOK THAT MAKES THIS A "71" MODEL,BUT THE TITLE STATES "72" SO I WILL LET YOU BE THE JUDGE ON THAT. THE BIKE DOES HAVE SOME TINY FLAWS THAT WON'T SHOW UP ON CAMERA(FRONT FENDER HAS A LITTLE DING AND THE REAR FENDER HAS A SMALL SCRATCH JUST UNDER THE LICENSE PLATE) AT ANY RATE YOU HAVE TO LOOK PRETTY HARD AND LONG TO SEE ANY FLAWS. I BELIEVE THE BIKE WOULD SCORE A HONEST 8 OUT OF 10 FOR SURE AND ANYONE WOULD BE PROUD TO SHOW HER OFF. I DO HAVE SOME CONNECTIONS FOR SHIPPING AND I WILL ASSIST IN ANY WAY I CAN. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS PLEASE E-MAIL ME AND I WILL GET BACK TO YOU ASAP. I HAVE AN ORIGINAL MAGAZINE ADD AND A PIN UP PIC OF THE BIKE THAT I WILL INCLUDE WITH THE BIKE. THE MAG SHOWS A GOLD 500 BUT THE JAPANEESE PIN UP IS THE EXACT BIKE THAT i AM SELLING(SAME COLOR SAME YEAR)SEE PICSENG# CB500E-1042453 key words:Honda 750 four/Honda 550 four/Honda 350 four/original/collector/vintageOn Apr-20-15 at 11:14:54 PDT, seller added the following information: JUST A LITTLE MORE INFO: i HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT THIS BIKE IS INDEED A VERY LATE PRODUCTION 1971 CB500 FOUR(WHICH IS WHAT I THOUGHT ALL ALONG) THE FACT THAT THE VIN# AND ENG# ARE LOW#s VERIFIES IT!!On Apr-25-15 at 18:35:27 PDT, seller added the following information: Today i was working on my enduro and the sun was shining in on the Honda 500(I noticed two tiny little dings in the top muffler(left top one) that i honestly had not seen before) They would not show up on camera if I tried to take a pic. If you look at it straight on you can't see them but if you get down low and look down the side of the muffler you can make them out. The pipes are the nicest I have seen for originals but I just want to be brutely honest with my description of my bike. Thank you
