FOR SALE IS MY 1972 HONDA 500 FOUR. THIS IS A UK REGISTERED BIKE WITH V5 PRESENT - DATE OF REGISTRATION SEPTEMBER 1972 MAKING IT AN 'L' PLATE. MILEAGE IS SHOWING 24151 PLEASE NOTE REVISED REGISTRATION DATE FOLLOWING MY ERROR WHEN LISTING THE BIKE IS LARGELY ORIGINAL AND NOT RESTORED IN THE TRUE SENSE BUT IS VERY CLEAN HAVING BEEN OFF THE ROAD AND TIDIED UP OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT IS NOT PERFECT AND WHILST IT LOOKS GOOD IN THE PHOTOS, POTENTIAL BIDDERS/PURISTS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING - MOTAD 4-1 EXHAUST WITH A COUPLE OF DINGS, NON-STANDARD REAR SHOCKS, NON-STANDARD HEADLAMP BUCKET, PAINT ON THE TANK AND SIDE PANELS IS OK BUT CERTAINLY NOT SHOW STANDARD, SMALL REPAIR ON ORIGINAL DUAL SEAT - REMEMBER THIS IS A BIKE THAT'S OVER 45 YEARS OLD! GOOD POINTS INCLUDE A DECENT BATTERY, NICE REBUILT FRONT WHEEL AND SPOKES AND ALL 4 INDICATORS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW STANLEY ITEMS ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. ALL THE ELECTRICS ARE WORKING AND THE BIKE RUNS QUITE NICELY BUT HAS THE USUAL HONDA 4 CLUTCH RATTLE WHEN STARTED FROM COLD DUE TO THE CARBS BEING SLIGHTLY OUT OF BALANCE. THIS CLEARS AWAY ONCE WARMED UP AS THOSE OF YOU FAMILIAR WITH THESE OLD GIRLS WILL KNOW - BUT - POTENTIAL BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE - SOME WORK IS REQUIRED - THE GEAR LEVER CAN STICK 'UP' WHEN CHANGING UP THROUGH THE GEARS AND I AM SELLING THE BIKE WITH A USED GEARBOX AND SELECTORS I BOUGHT PREVIOUSLY - SEE THE PHOTO. I HAVE BEEN INTENDING TO GET THIS DONE FOR SOME TIME HOWEVER I AM NOW SELLING THE BIKE ON REQUIRING ATTENTION AS MY OLD KNEES NO LONGER TAKE KINDLY TO THE GARAGE FLOOR - I AM BASICALLY SELLING OFF MY PROJECTS AND SURPLUS SPARES AS I HAVE TOO MANY THINGS TO DO WITH LESS ENERGY AND IN LESS SPARE TIME THAN I WOULD LIKE! THE BIKE CAN BE VIEWED BY ARRANGEMENT THROUGH eBAY MESSAGES BUT GIVEN THE STICKY GEARBOX, I'M AFRAID NO TEST RIDES. THERE IS NO BUY-IT-NOW PRICE, PLEASE DON'T MAKE OFFERS AND I WILL LET THE AUCTION RUN ITS FULL DURATION IF THE BIKE SELLS, BUYER TO PAY £200 TO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT TO CONFIRM THE DEAL STRAIGHT AFTER THE AUCTION WITH THE BALANCE PAID AS CASH ON COLLECTION IN PERSON. UK BIDDERS ONLY AND STRICTLY BUYER COLLECTS PLEASE THANKS FOR LOOKING
