Scud Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 here is a clean low-mile GB500 on Craigslist: https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/mcy/d/phoenix-1990-honda-gb500-tourist-trophy/7443300180.html 3
docc Posted February 14, 2022 Author Posted February 14, 2022 Lots of significant changes for an 1800 mile bike. Collectors, and purists, will cringe, and shy away. I once rode a hotted-up GB with the 600 cylinder, 10.5:1 Wiseco piston, and custom semi-downdraft intake for the >no-idle-circuit< Mikuni. It, too, had a SuperTrap exhaust. The fellow told me he stacked every (exhaust) plate he could find in his shop. There must have been twelve, or more! I asked the clever Aussie about his air filter . . . "Filters just slow the air down!" 1

"Filters just slow the air down!" *I* wouldn't shy away. There's no reliability issue with genuine Honda parts. A long time ago I got to ride Ted Boody's ex-TT racer, a C&J framed XR600 with ALL the goodies. We had a 1/2 mile track on a Michigan lake. The thing would carry the front wheel at 80mph while sideways through the entire corner. Awesome. 3 1

Especially after you "sort them out" to make them the bikes they were intended to be. I could not "price" mySport. It embodies so much of this community's support and contributions as to be: > priceless < 5

docc Posted September 28, 2022 Author Posted September 28, 2022 You might want to rethink parting with that much moola - that's over a million Lira, bud . . . 2 1
