Florence, Alabama

Very cool old trike. It ran great before getting an electrical problem, but currently is not running. Appears to me that it might have a bad ground somewhere but I can't find it. Previously I replaced the solenoid, battery, and tires. I bought the tires used, but you can see by the pictures how good of shape they are in. The trike is not in perfect condition. It is 32 years old. There is a scratch here, a ding there, or a drip. This is why I'm including so many pictures, so you can see exactly what you're buying. The trike is well worth the price, but don't be afraid to give me your best offer. The terms are within 24 hours after the listing ends because you bought it, I require a deposit of $200. The balance will be paid in green cash (no checks of any kind, money orders, etc.) Pick up must be within 7 days of purchase. Sorry, I'm not able to help with shipping. Thanks for looking at my trike, and I look forward to meeting you when you pick it up!

2016 Honda CBR500R Matte Black Metallic, IN STOCK EARLY 2016 - The Best of Both Worlds. The CBR500R is the sporty member of that family, with bodywork inspired by our CBR600RR and CBR1000RR Supersports. Plus, for 2016, it?s full of improvements, keeping it even further out front.

And then there?s that spectacular twin-cylinder engine: displacing 471cc, it delivers smooth power from idle to redline. Twins offer notoriously broad powerbands, and the CBR500R is no exception. Chassis? Tuned especially for sport riding, the steel-tube frame and Honda Pro-Link rear suspension let you carve corners with confidence, now featuring adjustable fork preload and new shock settings. And the available triple-disc anti-lock brakes feature a new adjustable brake lever this year. A perfect choice for new riders, returning riders, or anyone who appreciates a great do-it-all streetbike, the CBR500R is also an affordable choice. Best of all, it?s a bike you won?t outgrow for a long, long time - if ever.

Honda : Magna 1983 honday magna low miles

$3,000

Elmhurst, Illinois

BOUGHT FROM A FRIEND THAT HAD THE BIKE IN INSIDE STORAGE FOR MANY YEARS. PLANNED TO CONVERT IT INTO A BOBBER STYLE MOTORCYCLE BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. I RODE THIS BIKE TO AND FROM THE TRAIN EVERY DAY FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS. ONLY 1.0 MILES AWAY. JUST BOUGHT A CAR AND MAKING ROOM IN THE GARAGE FOR CAR # 2.I PAINTED IT WITH BLACK MAT PLASTI DIP WHICH PEELS OFF EASILY. ALSO, I CHANGED THE HANDLE BARS. IF YOU WANT ORIGINAL PARTS I STILL HAVE THEM. STARTS RIGHT UP & RUNS GREAT! AWESOME ENGINEERING. Honda V65 Magna Claimed power: 116hp @ 9,500rpm Top speed: 137mph (period test) Engine: 1,098cc liquid-cooled DOHC 90-degree V4 Weight: 618lb (wet) Price then/now: $3,898/$2,000-$4,000Landmark. Watershed. Call it what you will, Honda’s 1983 V65 Magna marked a major departure in motorcycle design. For the first time, a Japanese motorcycle maker’s fastest, most powerful motorcycle had pull-back handlebars and its footpegs well in front of the seat. The Power Cruiser had been born.Sure, Harley-Davidson had been making foot-forward cruisers just about forever, and Yamaha had introduced the “special” stepped-seat, beach-bar look in the late Seventies, but it was Big Red that put serious power in the picture. The Honda V65 Magna was built around a 65ci double overhead cam V4 that delivered more than 100 horsepower to the back wheel, propelling the muscular missile to sub-11-second standing quarters at nearly 125mph.Not every pilot could pull off that party-piece, though. A 45/55 front-to-rear weight bias and laid-back riding position meant keeping the front wheel down was a challenge. And if the road threw you a curve, the lazy 30-degree rake, 63-inch wheelbase and light front end meant vague steering and a tendency to run wide. With the rider’s weight mainly butt-supported, road imperfections could jar the spine, while dialing back the fully adjustable twin shocks invited jacking from the shaft final drive. And although the thrust of the big V4 was seductive, it wasn’t all plain sailing: In city riding, Cycle magazine’s March 1983 test found a combination of too much driveline lash and under-damped CV carbs made for a “low-speed, jerk and lurch routine.” Even so, Cycle said it was the engine that was by far “the V65’s best feature, and motorcyclists who buy the V65 on looks will quickly find themselves enchanted by the 1100’s performance.” The source of this excitement was a 1,098cc liquid-cooled, 90-degree V4 with four overhead camshafts. Each pair of camshafts was driven from the center of the four-main-bearing crank by its own chain, opening four valves per cylinder at a narrow (for the time) 38-degree included angle via screw-adjustable rockers. Primary drive was by straight-cut gears using a split gear on the crankshaft to reduce lash and gear noise and a semi-slipper, diaphragm-spring clutch that allowed half of the plates to release during over-aggressive downshifting. A 6-speed gearbox (five plus overdrive, said Honda) drove the back wheel via two bevel gears and a shaft.The powerhouse breathed through four 36mm Keihin CV carbs drawing from an airbox set in a recess cut into the gas tank. This compromised fuel space, requiring a second tank hidden under the seat and fed by an electric pump. Not surprisingly, perhaps, all this performance and complexity came at a price: Ridden enthusiastically, the Magna’s fuel consumption could drop into the low 30s, and with just 4.5 gallons of fuel in both tanks (and no fuel gauge or reserve tap — just a low-fuel warning light) an unprepared rider could get caught short — including Cycle World’s April 1983 tester, who found out the hard way and had to push the big brute home.

I have heard the horror stories of 82 motors in 83 frames and I have seen buys riding these bikes at the track with stock suspension (if you are not going to get the suspension done then you are purposely beating your body up for no reason). The suspension on this bike has to be addressed and when you do, it will put a smile on your face. I also have an 83 Honda CR250R for sale on ebay as well.

Cycle World, June 1981Hot on the heels of Honda's CX500 Turbo, the Yamaha 650 Seca Turbo, despite its futuristic looks, was something totally different. With air instead of water cooling, four instead of two cylinders, and, interestingly of all, pressurized carbs in place of fuel injection, the blown Seca took an entirely different approach to what a turbocharged motorcycle should be.Many expressed doubts as to the durability of an air-cooled engine under duress of a turbocharger; those reservations would prove unfounded (80,000+ mile Seca Turbos that have never had major engine work or even blown a turbocharger are quite common). The pressurized carbs worked very well ("Best carbureted bike I've ever ridden" -- Bob Miller, President, T.M.I.O.A.).'82 Seca Turbos suffered from weak performance when they were initially introduced. Tired of being embarrassed by Honda CX500 Turbos in head-to-head tests Yamaha rushed out a "Power-Up" kit (free of charge!) that consisted of an inline boost pressure sensor/restrictor that fooled the turbo into thinking boost was lower than it was, and a washer that you stuck at the end of your right-side turbo exhaust muffler to increase back pressure. Both measures were designed to increase boost pressure and keep it in the cylinders longer. Peak boost went from an anemic 7 psi to a respectable 12 psi. The bad news for '82 Seca Turbo owners ('83 models came with the modification) is that Yamaha ran out of the kits in 1985. The good news is that you don't need it. Simply disconnect the vacuum hose leading to the wastegate actuator, clamp it shut, close up the hole in the actuator and experience the thrill of 14 psi. The poppet valve in the surge tank now serves as your "wastegate" to keep the engine from exploding. This also solves the problem of turbocharger wastegates failing to close, a common cause of power loss in Yamaha Turbos (blame it on the placement of the unit under the engine where it collects all sorts of road debris).The Power-Up Kit, thicker forks and a larger 5-gallon gas tank in 1983 helped sales somewhat, but a price drop to $3100 in 1984 (an '82 could be had for $2800) helped more to clear the floors of unwanted Seca Turbos. Average Seca Turbos go for $2,500-3,500. Low mileage bikes bring about $3,500 to $4,500 today. Showroom/museum examples may fetch $5,000, but Seca Turbos in such a state are extremely rare. '83 models, with their 1mm thicker forks and 1 gallon larger gas tanks bring more due to rarity and production numbers.

2005 Honda Shadow Aero, By the early 1980s Honda had consistently proven itself a two-wheel race winner both on the road and in the dirt. What the company hadn t conquered was a segment of American motorcycling regarded as cruisers. Largely ruled by Harley-Davidson, even during the company s grievous AMF years, the cruiser market was attacked by Honda with a new line of motorcycles known as Honda Shadows. The first two Honda Shadow models were launched in 1983 and included the VT500 Honda Shadow and the VT750 Honda Shadow. As good as the bike may have been, it missed quintessential elements of cruiser motorcycles Harley-Davidson had established years earlier. The 500cc and 750cc Honda Shadows had V-Twin engines, but instead of 45 degrees separating the cylinders, Honda used a wider 52-degree format. The engine was also liquid-cooled which was in contrast to H-D s air-cooled V-Twins. Cast-alloy wheels were used instead of spoke wheels. While both Honda Shadows had teardrop gas tanks and some chrome, the two bikes were lacking essential cruiser ingredients to lure customers away from traditional cruisers. Over the years Honda would address all these shortcomings.
