Description

I discovered this very rare Japanese production S65 Sports Cub in Montana. For those of you familiar with the U.S. model, ou will note some interesting differences such as the solo seat, uggage rack and turn signals which were not on the U.S. production model. The VIN plate is in Japanese! The collector I acquired this bike from believes it was brought over from Vietnam by a U.S. serviceman. This 50 year old bike had sat for many years but was in remarkable un-restored condition. The patina on the original paint and chrome is beautiful. I decided not to "restore" this bike but to "PRESERVE" it to retain its historical and timeless beauty.
Following is a short list of what I have done to preserve and maintain this very rare bike. I first disassembled the bike down to the bare frame and cleaned and polished every piece. I replaced the tires, ubes and wheel straps, leaned the brake drums, eplaced the brake shoes, leaned out the old grease in the wheel bearings and re-greased, isassembled front shocks, lean and re-grease, isassemble steering head, lean and re-grease head bearings, eplace rubber handlebar mounts, emove wiring harness-clean and inspect, o thru all switches-clean and check, eplace battery and winker switch, ebuild carburetor, djust valves, lean the points and adjust timing, eplace clutch input shaft seal, ick starter and shifter seals, hange the oil and replace the air filter, lean the exhaust baffle and replace, lush the fuel tank, ebuild fuel petcock, eplace all fuel lines and install an inline fuel filter. Their are a lot of little things I have left out, ut I have done everything I could to make this very rare S65 fun to ride, afe and reliable.
It is truly a BEAUTIFUL AND ORIGINAL ROLLING PIECE OF MOTORCYCLE HISTORY! Ride this bike every day or add it to your collection. This S65 starts on the first kick, hifts and brakes very well and is a joy to ride. You will get attention everywhere you ride it as we suspect it is maybe 1 of 5 in this configuration in theU. S. If you want a fun little motorcycle and are on the quest for something unique, his is it!
I can deliver this bike to you myself anywhere in the western U.S for a reasonable fee or will be happy to help you arrange shipping. I am located at 744 Rocky Road, riggs, daho 83422 about 28 miles from Jackson, yoming.
NOTE- I AM SELLING THIS BIKE ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY. I WILL ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN ONE. In 1965 many small motorcycles were never titled.
