Honda C110 Sport 50 description

Honda C110 Sport 50
Completely restored to Museum-Ready Condition

This Honda Sport 50 has led a cherished life.  It has been in the ownership of a Honda employee or Honda retiree its entire life.  The bike went through a comprehensive restoration years ago utilizing mostly NOS parts.  The bike is completely original with exception of the front fender mudflap which is being replaced due to rubber rot with an quality reproduction.  While all parts were well lubricated upon assembly, the bike has not been run or had fuel in it since the restoration.  The bike has been in a climate controlled environment (our living room) since restoration.  Even the battery is NOS dry-charged.  

This is not your typically over restored example, but rather a bike that was rebuilt extensively with NOS parts and, therefore, looks like the bike that would have been on the Honda dealer showroom floor in 1965.  Unpainted plastic parts, like the front fender for example, have some slight burnishes, but those are typical of how the bikes looked on the showroom floor.

The bike is fitted with a NOS speedo and the actual mileage is unknown, but that is immaterial considering the engine was rebuilt with NOS parts, as were all wheel and fork/swingarm bearings and seals.  
This is essentially a new bike.

This bike deserves to go into a museum or private collection - it is that good.

Local pick up is recommended.  If shipped, I'd recommend that the bike be crated for safe transport.  The thing is tiny and light, but could be easily damaged.

This is a vintage bike that has been restored several years ago and has not be run or ridden since.  No warranty is provided or implied.  No returns.

Although street legal and provided with a title, this bike needs to continue its life as a piece of motorcycle history in the hands of respecting collector.

Surely more wins are on the cards for Seeley and the 2011 Gixer?

Thu, 02 Jun 2011

The amazing Alex Lowes is deservedly grabbing all the attention in the BSB paddock at the moment, but I believe last year’s top Superbike rookie, Alistair Seeley is doing an equally impressive job in the Supersport class. Although he looks ten years younger, thirty one year old Seeley  is riding one of only two 2011 600 GSXRs (fellow countryman Marty Nutt is on the other) in the class. Alistair has finished on the podium four times including a race win at the opening Brand Hatch round and currently lies second in the championship.  He also took victory on the Gixer in the only race run at the North West 200 last month and was looking like the runaway winner last Sunday at Thruxton until electrical gremlins struck after opening up a seven second lead.

US Motorcycle Thefts Down 6% in 2011

Tue, 09 Oct 2012

Americans reported 46,667 motorcycle thefts in 2011, a 6% decrease from 49,791 stolen motorcycles in 2010, reports the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Despite the drop in reported thefts, the non-profit organization representing nearly 1100 property and casualty insurance companies says the theft rate still averages out to one motorcycle stolen every 11 minutes in the U.S. The numbers were published in the NICB’s 2011 ForeCAST Report which examined theft reports as well as recoveries.
