1963 Honda 250 Scrambler CL72 CL77 VINTAGE ANTIQUE OLD COLLECTABLE

Description

A TRUE PIECE OF HISTORY...YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING YOU CAN RESTORE SOMETHING 100 TIMES BUT THEY ARE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE...1963 WAS THE SECOND PRODUCTION YEAR FOR THE CL72 "250 SCRAMBLER". THEN IN 1965 HONDA CAME OUT WITH THE INFAMOUS CL77"305 SCRAMBLER". I FOUND THIS BIKE IN THE CONDITION SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS HERE SEVERAL YEARS AGO & HAVE HAD IT ON DISPLAY IN MY HOME. IN MY 40+ YEARS COLLECTING BIKES THIS IS BY FAR THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF AN UNTOUCHED, NMODIFIED, NMOLESTED 53 YEAR OLD HONDA SCRAMBLER I'VE EVER FOUND SEEN OR HEARD OF. THE BARBER MOTORSPORTS MUSEUM DOES NOT HAVE ONE EVEN CLOSE TO THE CALIBER OF THIS MACHINE. A CLOSE STUDY OF THE PHOTOS WILL SHOW THE PAINT & CHROME HAVE BEEN PRESERVED BY SPENDING LITTLE TO NO TIME OUTDOORS IN THE ELEMENTS. WITH A LITTLE OVER 4000 ORIGINAL MILES THE PAINT IS SUPER NICE, HROME IS BEAUTIFUL & RUST FREE. INSIDE OF THE TANK IS ALSO ABSOLUTELY RUST FREE SO I INSTALLED THE CLEAR FUEL LINES WITH NONE OF THOSE CHEESY INLINE FUEL FILTERS SO COMMON TODAY TO SHOW PERFECTLY CLEAR FUEL FROM THE TANK TO THE CARBS. NEW BLACK CORRECT FUEL LINES WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION. BIKE RUNS, IDES, HIFTS LIKE IT SHOULD WITH NO CLUTCH SLIPPAGE & NO SMOKE OR ABNORMAL ENGINE NOISES. THE SEAT ON A 53 YEAR OLD HONDA TENDS TO BE A BIT STIFF BY MODERN STANDARDS BUT...

THE ORIGINAL 53 YEAR OLD TIRES & RIMS RUN STRAIGHT & TRUE & ARE IN SUPRISINGLY GOOD CONDITION BUT THE TIRES SHOULD CERTAINLY NOT BE DRIVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.ORIGINAL TOOL BAG AND MANUALS INCLUDED ALSO. BY THE WAY...IN AN EFFORT TO SHOW THIS BIKE AS IT ACTUALLY IS THE DAY BEFORE TAKING THESE PHOTOS ALL I DID WAS WASH IT WITH A GOOD HIGH QUALITY CAR WASH. ABSOLUTELY NO WAX POLISH OR CHROME POLISH WAS USED...A LITTLE WAX & CHROME POLISH COULD REALLY ...WELL YOU KNOW. ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU'DE LIKE I'LL ANSWER TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. BIKE IS LOCATED IN BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA & I WILL ASSIST IN SHIPPING OR YOU CAN COME PICK HER UP...YOU WON'Y BE DISAPPOINTED SSHER40362@AOL.COM

FACT...THIS IS A 1963 MODEL BUILT IN JAPAN IN 1963...AS WITH ALL VINTAGE HONDAS THE TITLE SHOWS WHATEVER YEAR THE BIKE WAS FIRST SOLD TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IN THIS CASE THE TITLE SHOWS THIS AS BEING A 1965 MODEL.

THIS IS A 53 YEAR OLD MOTORCYCLE WHICH HAS SCRATCHES AND A FEW SCRAPES ETC. THERE IS A SMALL DENT IN THE TOP OF THE TANK HARD TO SEE IN PHOTOS BUT I KNOW FOR SURE IT COULD BE POPPED OUT FOR $25 BY ONE OF THOSE PAINTLESS DENT REMOVAL GUYS IF YOU WANTED TO. THE HANDLE BARS HAVE A VERY SLIGHT BEND THAT COULD VERY EASILY BE MADE PERFECT
