For sale here is my beautiful 1972 CJ-750 sidecar motorcycle. Licensed, titled and registered in USA, this bike has been lovingly rebuilt and features the M1S, 32HP, overhead valve engine with electric start and kick starter. Gearbox is four speed plus reverse. Modern upgrades include Mikuni carburetors, aluminum wheels, front disc brake on bike, drum brake on sidecar and solid state ignition (still has points for timing but ignition condenser has been replaced with SS unit in headlamp bell). This bike has a 12V electrical system with a new (2015) lithium battery. She is in excellent condition and as you can see from the photos, is a real head turner (and show winner- 2015 "Best of West Virginia Auto Show" first place in motorcycle division). Tires are like new. Included in this sale are a pair of spare carburetors, spare wheel spokes, full set of wheel bearings (all three wheels plus spare), ignition coil, plug wires, spark plugs and clutch cable. Mileage shown in photo (2,173km/ 1,350mi) is original mileage since complete rebuilt and is subject to change as the bike is still being ridden locally. The Chang Jiang 750 traces its lineage to pre-war Germany with the BMW R71. Prior to the German invasion, the Russians were already building their own copies of the BMW R71 and the Chinese, with the help of their Russian Comrades, began production of the CJ750 for their military in the 1950s. Parts for these bikes are extremely readily available and servicing them is a snap- they were designed to be field serviceable by soldiers on the battlefield after all. The sale and transfer of this bike is on an "AS IS" basis, without any express or implied warranties, and no recourse to the Seller. A $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing, with the remaining balance to be paid in full within seven days of auction end. The buyer is responsible for shipping/transport- I will assist buyer in arranging for a suitable company for pickup and delivery at the buyers expense.
