1971 Honda CB500-4 K0. This is a first year, very original unmolested example of the classic 500-4 K0 Honda. The factory green has not faded too badly as they often do and still looks nice, the seat is still soft and free from rips and tears and the exhaust is the only deviation from stock. The original key is included and the bike is sold with a State of Kansas Certificate of title. Stored for many years, the engine will now not turn over and the front brake is no longer working. The bike has surface rust on the wheel rims and fenders, bike does roll easy, the forks work well, the rear brake is fine and the inside of the gas tank looks pretty good with minor rust marks. The carbs are free and the clutch and transmission seem to work fine. Tyres are vintage. This would be a good candidate for restoration or a cafe racer project. Big bore kits are readily available and this auction includes a new unused MAC 4-1 exhaust that I intended to use on this bike ($300 value). Some great articles were written in Cycle magazine (Nov 1975) about these bikes and might make a useful guide. I have a copy for the winning bidder. The bike is located in Wichita KS, shipping is the responsibility of the winning bidder to arrange, please ask questions before placing a bid. Overseas bidders, please arrange shipping before bidding, U-ship seem to be able to ship to either coast from here for approx $500.
