the latest honda addition to the garage...
« on: August 01, 2011, 06:05:23 AM »
picked this up over the weekend. its a 78 honda nc50 express. i got it for pretty much free (although about 40 bucks in gas to pick it up) it didnt run when i got it but being its a honda (and one of the simplest ones at that) i had it going within an hour. its been "previous owner'rd" with black spray paint and a welded on crank start, but its pretty complete and seems to run strong. my plan was to fix it and sell it at a profit but after playing on it all day that may be harder than i thought. you cant ride this thing without a big smile on your face. over the next couple months i plan on stripping it down, painting it, rebuilding the motor, and getting it back to stock. we'll see how much i still like it then to decide weather or not ill sell it. :)

depending on the intrest in it, i may do a build thread.

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

But really, go ahead and start a build thread.  Heck, I plan to start one on here, hopefully soon, with a YZ!

Agreed, start a build thread on it.
I see these things on CL all the time for sale that don't run for cheap.
