Hello, This is a running CB500 motorcycle. It needs some cosmetic work, new handle bars, dials, gas tank to get her back on the road, but the engine runs great! I spent last summer rebuilding the bike and unfortuantely got into an accident when I was cut off by a van. I put a lot of time and money into the bike to get her on the road the first time, and unfortunately do not wish to fix her again. But for an enthusiast or for someone who needs parts, this is a great bike. It wouldn't take much to get her going again, I just don't want to keep investing in the project and have decided to pass the bike to another lover of vintage Honda sports bikes. Feel free to email me with any questions and I can also email a video of the bike running if you are interested.
