For a bike that is 23 years old, it runs great and is pretty good looking. Would make a great starter bike, my husband used this everyday to and from work. Gets about 50 mpg. Has 26,000 miles on it. New spark plugs, new seat cover, half way through oil change, just had front brake fluid and clutch fluid changed and choke worked on. Comes with saddlebags. Had front fork seal repaired in Dec. Bike could use new tires in the near future. Turn signals do not work and tachometer works some of the time. Also comes with Clymer manual and bike cover that has a hole in top-can easily be sewn up. Paint blemished on gas tank (shown in pic). Have title in hand and all maintenance records from Howards Honda. has had regular oil changes. Cash only. asking 2300 or best offer.

I wonder how long they've been working on that oil change and how long it would take for a full resto  :D ;D

so this must mean my 1976 CB550 is worth $4,800? because the oil change was 300 miles ago.
