1980 Honda Other

Clear

FOLLOWING ON THE SUCCESS OF THE HIT TV SHOW "CAFE RACER" AND THE MOVIE "THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO" HERE IT IS UP FOR GRABS MY 1980 HONDA CX 500 CAFE. I HAD THIS BIKE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, IT IS BEEN USED MAINLY FOR WEEK END CRUISING.SHE FEATURES SOLO FIBERGLASS SEAT, CLUBMAN HANDLE BARS, SOLO EXHAUST CONVERSION (QUITE LOUD). I AM 5' 9 AND IT MAKES FOR A COMFORTABLE RIDING POSITION. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT I AM NOT SHY ABOUT PERFORMING MY OWN WORK. ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE FOLLOWING WORK WAS PERFORMED: THE OIL AND FILTER WERE CHANGED, THE FRONT CRANK CASE SEAL WAS REPLACED (IT WAS SHOT) STARTER SOLENOID REPLACED, RADIATOR FAN BLADE REPLACED, REAR TIRE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, FRONT MAY NEED REPLACING BUT STILL IN GOOD CONDITION.BATTERY LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD. MILES ON THE ODO ARE 59,XXXSHE IS BY NO MEANS PERFECT BUT SHE STARTS RIGHT UP AND IS READY FOR RIDING. SHE HAS GOOD POWER BUT NOT OVERWHELMING PERFECT FOR FIRST TIME RIDERS.(EVEN THOUGH BIKES FROM THIS ERA ARE QUITE HEAVY FOR THEIR SIZE.OR SOMEONE LOOKING FOR A SOLID CANDIDATE TO MAKE A SHOW BIKE. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE BIKE HAS NO MAJOR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS.IT IS THOUGH IN NEED OF SOME PROFESSIONAL CARB SYNCING AND TUNING SINCE SHE IS RUNNING A LITTLE FUEL RICH. ( A YEARLY MUST IF YOU OWN A VINTAGE BIKE)I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR ALL THE ITEMS THAT WERE REPLACED OR ADDED I AM ALSO INCLUDING WITH IT SPARE GASKET KIT AND A SHOP MANUAL (INVALUABLE IF YOU ENJOY DOING YOUR OWN WORK).REGISTRATION IS GOOD TILL APRIL 2013. I KNOW HOW MUCH THIS BIKE IS WORTH AND HOW MUCH WORK I HAVE PUT IN IT. I AM BY NO MEANS DESPERATE TO SELL SINCE I ENJOY CAFE RACERS( I ALSO OWN A 80' BMW AIRHEAD CAFE)ANY LOW BALLERS OFFERS WILL BE QUICKLY DECLINED OR IGNORED.
