Whats up guys my name is Jimmy and I'm the proud parent of a slightly unhealthy 34 year old CB500k (I'm 32)I've been working on this basketcase every summer for the last 5 years and 2 weeks ago she rolled out of the garage under her own power which after all that work was better than sex...ok not better but still pretty ok!! And to any body out there who ever thought just cause a bike was partially disassembled , partially incomplete and looked as though it'd just been rode wet and put up hard too many times to be viable i hereby testify that mine was all of these things and whats more as near as anyone can remember the last time this bike was ridden was 1989 yet still as of this week she fires right up off the starter and the kick ,idles around a grand pretty religiously and is still fast as all hell yall shouldn't write 'em off just cause they're ugly you might be missin out on a great ride
