Bid for the chance to own a Original-Owner 1982 Honda CBX Supersport in Factory Crate at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #31,347.
My buddy had an 81 red and black one when I first started ridding. I had the same year and color CM400. I think he enjoyed dusting me...but he was a very safe rider and I learned some worthwhile skills from him. He sold the bike a few yrs after we started riding. It was a shame but still way too much bike for me. So off it went. Still have great memories of riding behind those 6 cylinders. 😎😎
Ain't she sweet!
I recall the first time that I was up close to a Honda 750 four.
During the Fall of 1969, and I was riding My 80cc Suzuki, actually doing some minor off road riding along with another guy on a small Yamaha enduro bike.
Then a dude with a Honda 750 four cylinder stopped by, and later, when we all left the area, I thought that Honda four sounded just like a Chevy Corvair.
BBQJoe: That's a given, for sure. Going to take some real attention to detail and patience to bring her to life and not screw it up. Back in the mid-70's I bought a '74 Triumph Bonneville and a Tiger, both in the crate. (Long, funny story). I put them away and got the Tiger out in the mid-80's. Didn't pay a lot of attention to putting it together and starting it. Had problems from day 1 and was chasing issues until the day I sold it. (I was young and stupid back then...now I'm older and still stupid). I still have the crated Bonneville. Tempted to uncrate her, but not sure if it is worth more to leave it crated and let someone else deal with resurrecting it. Sure would be less of a hassle.
So.......I dusted my bike off yesterday and when I ran the towel over the hot heat shield it melted to it immediately.
Now.....how do I get it off? I tried Goof Off and brake cleaner and neither worked. Last resort is a 4.5" angle grinder.....
Figured I'd pay you guys a visit and show off the final product of the Savage 650 / LS40 project I mentioned last fall. Came out pretty good. Still got some minor tweaking to jetting in the carb as it still backfires a bit between shifts. I did all the wiring, got the LEDs to function with...
My beef with most cruisers is they do not look retro enough. Indian has fixed this somewhat... but Mr. E has found his next bike
Look at those forks and that plunger frame, even a curved fishtail exhaust. A 1930s throw back, with spokes, ABS and ASC and liquid cooling. Wow... just wow

I transitioned from a dirt bike to the Volusia. The suspension on the Volusia delivers some spine jarring shots, particularly on a concrete road with expansion joint buckles. With the cruiser seating position, your feet two feet foward of your rear, you can't absorb much shock with your legs. Do...
I'm borrowing an idea that Sister Mooo had over on Facebook. She started a page encouraging people to post a photo per day of something pleasant, interesting, pretty, etc., to keep the quarantine blues away.
I thought it might be nice to start a similar thing here on the VR, featuring bike...
