Ring of Red – M60. Cool sunny ride out. Supposed to have been 2 laps of M60, but reduced to 1, when dumb motorist ran into Police escort car.

One on eBay needing some work…

This bike is close to my home so I will try to get a look if its not sold by the time I return home from my travels.

The important parts look as if they are all there but it does appear to require considerable work.

I cant imagine he will sell it for 6K for a non runner with wrong pipes and no Docs !
Steve Doyles was an absolute bargain.

Hi Steve
Yes it got no bids at £6000,I suspect this bike may have been a race bike, badly worn discs and low mileage, also i viewed this bike and sump has been drilled for wire locking sump plug, and a performance exhaust
Spoke to the seller and does not run, faulty pulsar coil, you would think a simple repair to get running, 1/2 hour job to change,he must be worth it for the seller, also lh engine cover looks like 750/900 one as not gold and no chamfer on ATU cover, maybe replaced due to crash damage?

Seller did state good examples sell for £10K and also has it advertised for £7500 here http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/list/501/cb1100r/

Dont think previous owner was too big on maintenance, very slick rear tyre, oil as black as coal, and a non O ring rear chain

No papers as you say but as the Bike is ex South African you need a police clearance to export vehicles from SA so the authorities there were satisfied the bike was clear,and the bike is on the nova database so would just need a dating letter from Honda to register

Probably be a good project at the right price, but needs body work sorting and a unknown engine can be a real expensive job, and front brake discs are hard to find for a RB

Sort of project I am looking for though

The drilling of the sump and sump plug was done by Honda, Keith. The bikes came like this from new.

Hi Andy

Thanks for that, was not sure about that

You’ve already taken a look at this bike then? I’m away working currently but since it’s very close to home I may take a trip out and take a look. I have no interest in buying another one but it will give me something to do at the weekend.

I called this guy today, was going to go take a look at the bike. He said he was just about to take a deposit, I do hope the new owner is happy with their purchase and will restore it to its former glory.

Hi Trev, I looked at the bike in the week, apart from the damage to seat and marks on paint did not look too bad, paint on frame was not bad,Forks and wheels looked ok ,and coming from south Africa would not have been exposed to bad weather

Seller had also reduced the price on Car & Classic website to £5500 from £7500

Being a non runner could be risky, with the faulty pickup repaired wonder what else would show up

Maybe the new owner will show up here soon
