1973 Honda CB

Clear

HERE IS A VERY NICE 1973 HONDA CB500 FOUR. THIS BIKE IS PROBABLY NE OF THE NICEST UNRESTORED BIKES i HAVE EVER SEEN. THE PICTURES DO IT NO JUSTICE. IT MUST BE SEEN IN PERSON TO BE TRUELY APPRICIATED. THIS BIKE IS A TWO OWNER, BARLEY RIDEN, EXAMPLE OF 1970'S HONDA. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT AND COVERED IN A BLANKET. IT IS THE BUUCHUS OLIVE AND BLACK COLOR AND THE PAINT IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. THE SEAT, PAINT, DECALS AND EVEN THE TIRES ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT DRY ROTTED. YOU CAN STILL SEE ALL THE MARKING PAINT ON THE FITTINGS AND EVEN THE REAR AXLE. UNDER THE SEAT YOU WILL FINT THE ORIGINAL TOOL KIT UNTOUCHED AND THE OWNERS MANUAL STILL IN ITS BAG, NEVER OPENED. THE FRAME PAINT IS IMACULATE AS IS THE SEAT PAN EVEN THE SEAT FOAM LOOKS AMAZING. IT HAS HAD THE CARBS RECENTLY CLEANED AND A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED AND STARTS WELL AND RIDES WELL. THE ONLY THINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN THAT ARE NOT ORIGINAL IS THE TALLER HANDLE BARS AND THE BASSANTI EXHAUST THAT DELIVERS A BEAUTIFUL NOTE. NOW THE FLAWS, THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN PROFESIONLY COATED DUE TO A SEEM LEAK BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, THAT LEAK RESULTED IN SOME MINOR PAINT DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK. THERE IS A SMALL DING IN THE TOP OF THE TANK THAT WOULD NOT SHOW UP IN PICTURES. REMEMBER HOWEVER NICE THIS BIKE IS IT IS 37 YEARS OLD SO THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME MINOR FLAWS. ALL IN ALL YOU WILL NOT FIND A NICER CB 500 ON EBAY ANYTIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
