Here could be a potential deal for someone looking for a heavyweight cafe. I'm wondering what this one looks like....

Estate sale.
The bike has not been used in a number of years and is stored indoors. It needs work and is not running as far as I know. The bike will be sold as is. I have no knowledge of bikes or how to ride them or what it will take to restore this bike.

There is also a Honda 250 Elite (1980 I think) It has a bent front fork (not apparent to me) and again has not been used for a long time. Will be sold on as is condition.

Located at Lakeshore Rd and Southdown Rd

Saw that earlier and immediately thought of this bike.

Holy crap, nice rebuild, that is one mean looking brute, what year is it?

Was on the early 70's wing kick for a while, also mostly because of the pic posted by Tim. Realized that they are just too rare and hard to find parts for, plus, they don't share the same Honda reliability that so many of their other bikes have. Anyways, my big cc project has been put on the back burner for a while. Substantial funds will be needed for that one.

Doesn't that bike share the same engine as the Civic?

 

[rudy]

Dont think the civic came with a horizontally opposed 4, did it? I'm not up on my vintage civic info. Though the new ones with the 1800 are more powerful than most stock civics out there. (can you say "ridiculous?")

I'm mistaken, the Civic had the inline 4. Someone told me they share the same pistons.

Hmmm...I've got a spare civic engine kicking about.

 

[Tim]

Hmmmm.... I've got a 1999 Civic that could use a new engine! In all seriousness, if anyone has experience with swapping out engines in Civics, I might consider doing something at some point in the not too distant future. Mine is burning a bit of oil and I'm about to drop serious coin on replacing the timing belt.

Your thinking of the first civic .. called a Honda 600 it had an air cooled engine in it just like a bike ;D
