Honda CB description

Rare 1966 CB160 Racer with CB92 & CB93 Race Parts.

This is a very interesting 1966 Honda CB160 with ultra rare Honda CB93 race kit parts. Basically this is a stock CB160 with the following original vintage Racing, Benly & other parts added:

Honda CR93 Alloy Racing Fuel Tank - including hold down strap & fuel cap

CR93 Alloy Race Seat

CR93 Engine Case Breather Tower

CR93 Intake Manifolds

Honda Racing DID Alloy Rims

Custom Header Pipes with 2 into 1 Connection into CR92 Megaphone

CB92 Benley Front Brake

Fiberglass full fairing (unsure of origin ) with removeable fairing braces which mount to tabs welded to the frame & existing bolts on middle of frame.

Dual CL77 22MM Carburetors 

Rearsets fabricated from CB160 & CB77 parts

Modified CB77 side stand.

There is no speedometer fitted to the bike so mileage is unknown. No title. Selling as a classic race bike or parts.

This bike's original home was California. It then lived in Nebraska. Last August carburetor's were cleaned and the points set by the one and only RL Brooks out at the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Show in Jefferson PA.  RL was one of front runners in the Heritage Racing lineup which drew Honda back to classic racing. He is in one of these photo's with his back towards us. We found a new battery for a CB350, tied it in and after a push threw the flea market it lit off sounding mighty impressive to say the least. It does shift threw threw all the gears fine. The CB92 front brake set up is a strong asset when riding these bikes and it works very well,  Upholstery on the seat is still obviously the original Honda type, featuring the rubberized upholstery like the top portion of the CYB.  If you can see in one of the photo's you can make out the area where the badge once was on the tank before it was made race ready. There is a sealant that was used on the interior of the tank. Looks to be professionaly done. 

Sold as is. No title.  I had this listed under a different catagory, antique, parts asian which Ebay asked me to change to this catagory since its over 50cc. Since there is no title and the listing makes you check one box for a title, I am giving this info to you so you can understand and ask questions.. I have checked the rebuilt, rebuildable and reconstructed in order to continue with the auction.   

Note: Not road worthy. Built to be riden on a closed course. Before riding its advised to have a professional inspect all safety aspects.

Cycle Guide had this to say about the CR93's and the CB160's in the July 1967 article, One Look at the CB93 chassis and you can see how the CB160 is claimed to be one of the best handling bikes in the world today - regardless of price. The CR93 frame and that of the CB160 are almost identical. Forks swingarm and rear shocks. This is pretty high praise for the stock CB160. 

  *This is a very collectable bike at a sensible reserve.*              *This bike won the "Gary Nixon" award trophy donated by the Nixon family for this show. I can't say enough to thank them.*

I can deliver this to a Forward Air or Pilot Air Freight free of charge to the Allentown PA depot.

I can give help to you if needed logistically. I will try to assist the best I can for you. Transportation and container cost is paid by the purchaser. Oversea's buyers welcome.

Wire or bankcheck for payment.

Please ask any questions you may have.

Thanks for looking.

  FYI, This listing was on earier in the antique asian catagory and Ebay asked I change it to the Ebay motor's catagory. Sorry to confuse anyone.

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

Bonhams’ annual fall auction, the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show, at Stafford County Showground is scheduled for October 20, 2013. Included in the auction is the above pictured 1974 Kawasaki H1-RW 500cc triple. Expected to sell for approximately $96,000 to $112,000, the Japanese works Grand Prix racer is one of only two machines built by the factory for the French Kawasaki importer SIDEMM for use in the 500cc World Championship. The bikes were ridden during the 1974 season by the French endurance racing specialist Christian Léon and French-Canadian Formula 750 star Yvon Duhamel.

Would you pay £115,000 for this?

Mon, 25 Oct 2010

A HONDA NR750 - one of the most hi-tech production motorcycles ever built - is up for grabs on eBay with an asking price of £115,000.The bike was produced in the early 1990s by Honda to showcase the company's engineering skills; a 32-valve, oval piston V4 engine, Carbon Fibre Composite bodywork and titanium-tinted screen are just some of the revolutionary features that warranted the bike's £37,000 original price tag.This particular 1993 model has covered 5000 miles from new - quite a few for a bike with such a heady price tag. We'd have expected it to come with delivery mileage only. It's being sold by an Essex-based dealer who describes the bike as 'IMMACULATE'.

MotoGP Approves “Factory 2″ Rules

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

We’re just days away from the start of the 2014 MotoGP season and one would think it’s a little late for series organizers to make any significant rule changes. At least, one would think that if one were unfamiliar with the political back-and-forths going on between the major manufacturers and MotoGP promoter Dorna. But with the season-opening Qatar round about to begin, the Grand Prix Commission approved new rules establishing a compromise between the new Factory and Open options.
