SOLD 1979 Honda CB 650 $1200.00 The engine was rebuilt in 1999 and has about 8000 miles on it. Spring maintenance is already done and it runs great - new oil, filter, plugs and inline fuel filter. Passed inspection 5/16/2008. Minor scratches and a small dent on the tank from the previous owner. This bike consistantly gets me almost 50MPG. It has a clean title and I’ve purchased a copy of the Shop Manual. ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/Side.gif](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/Side.gif) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/Odometer.gif](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/Odometer.gif) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/Exhaust.gif](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/Exhaust.gif) ![http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/Exhaust-Back.gif](http://www.rodandpiston.com/db/upload/files/Exhaust-Back.gif) It is listed on Craigslist.

edit: Missed it the first time through. I’ll think a little bit about it, if it’s cheap enough, why not? If it’s meant to be a learner, that is. ---

My first bike was an '81 CB650C. It was very nice to ride. Comfortable. Fast enough to be fun. Easy to work on. I bought it non-running for $550, dumped the gas, cleaned the carb, replaced the battery, put like 10k on it, then sold it for $900. That was 10 years ago. (Holy fuck when did I get old?) Anyhow, that thing looks really clean. If anyone is looking for a first bike or just something to cruise around on, this would be a great pick up. Be warned though, having a center-stand will spoil you forever. 🙂 ---

I’m sure they could arrange a drop off. He bought another bike so he doesn’t need 2. Call him and go check it out. BTW, the bike is in the Wheatfield area. ---
