1971 Honda CB450 vintage motorcycle

Honda cb450 motorcycle. The date of manufacturer is 8/71. This motorcycle is being sold with no reserve and will sell to the winning bidder. I have own this bike for many years but have never put a plate on it to ride. I was unable to put a plate on it because I do not have a title for the motorcycle. Here in Ohio it is near impossible to get a title for a motorcycle that has no title. Therefore I only rode the bike near my home. Its always starts and ran good when I would get it out for the summer. Miles are low because I never rode it much. I decided to sell because my 16 year old son needs help with a car. I put a new battery in the motorcycle and started it and rode it on this cold day. It ran great at higher rpm but would not idle. I don't know why it would not idle. It always idled before. Maybe the cold. need tune up. old gas.  I don't know. But it has good power and shifts nice. The engine is clean with no leaks and no strange noises. The motorcycle has always been stored in my shop. The chrome is in nice shape for a 71. The gauges are clear and bright. The inside of the fuel tank is shiny clean. There are no dents. Fuel system is in good clean order. carb bowls are very clean. fuel valve works great too. no fuel leaks. Lights all work good. i found that everything works on the motorcycle but the electric start. again the electric start button is broke.  I never used it and never  really needed to. The engine always started fine with the kick start. The air filters are after market UNI filters. Rear tire is nice shape. front is 1/2 life. All gauges work good and even the turn signal indicator in the gauge works. The turn signals work fine too. The seat is in good shape. The exhaust is in nice shape. I looked hard under each muffer and pipe and there is no holes or soft spots. a little lite surface rust.  I know other states will be glad to get you a title for this motorcycle with a good bill of sale. I will write the new owner a bill of sale if they need one. So just to be clear on this motorcycle it does not have a title and the electric start does not work. Thanks
