Silver 1974 Honda CB - Looks Great and Runs Smoothly

Description

This is a great bike and it starts and runs very well. I often get compliments when riding the bike around town. I am selling the bike now because I am relocating to another country.

I purchased the bike from a dealer in Georgia less than two years ago. I purchased the bike without a title. however. after an extensive evaluation of the bike’s history. the bike now has a clear title and is registered in the state of Vermont.   The bike has been driven exclusively in the state of Pennsylvania. more specifically. the city of Philadelphia since the title was obtained. It still bears a Vermont license plate.

Bike has been driven only short distances from home to work in the historic district of Philadelphia (approx. 1. 5 miles). The bike is in great condition and was housed in a garage last winter. During the warmer months it is covered and kept outside my home in the city and is routinely cleaned. It has also been routinely maintained at a local bike shop named Spare Parts.

Shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility.   I used Uship. com when I purchased the bike and had it shipped from Georgia to Philadelphia and was pleased with the service and price. It cost approximately $300. The bike is also available for local pick up.
