1979 Honda CX500 “I can’t help myself; I don’t want to stop, it’s so much fun to ride!” Over $3,800 has been invested into Service, parts, and upgrades recently including $2,000 at Kaplan Cycles last Month, and The previous owner just invested over $1,800 into this bike; $1,100 in Service and a $700 Custom paint job on this motorcycle before we acquired it. He put new tires on it, had it serviced and added a gorgeous custom metallic cranberry red paint job; that looks absolutely stunning in the sun! It’s in excellent condition, doesn’t appear to have ever been laid down. It has no pitting on the forks, and the Comstar cast MAG wheels give it a nice aggressive look. When we got our hands on this baby, we installed a new battery and converted it into a two into one exhaust system. It only has 12,865 miles on it! This bike could be easily converted into a café or bobber or you could just leave it as is. It’s up to you! The NADA value is $8,100.00 so there is plenty of margin for investing into this bike and this is a low reserve auction.A great investment sure to go up in value!Buy it and have an awesome summer riding! VIN# PC14000552 This stunner runs and handles as good as it sounds. There is a small cooling leak so you have to check it and add coolant with every fill up but It needs absolutely nothing to be ridden AS-IS, accept you! The coolant leak is a normal issue with the CX500 and is primarily a labor issue as the parts are very inexpensive.
