I am very careful about my descriptions having gone on many wild goose chases to see bikes and cars that turned out to be in far less condition than advertised. I am sure many of you have been in the same boat so I will do my utmost to describe this so that there are NO disappointments or surprises.
This is a rare original nickel Yetman roadrace framed Honda 350 that I had started to convert to road use. It is highly modified and a work of art and goes like stink. Had it running last year around my neighborhood and just rips. It has the following:
Yetman frame with number 3015 stamped in it. Frame is beautiful work of art with great nickeling all over but has a wear spot near steering from cable rub and 3 small dings in top under seat location as shown in close-ups.
Engine is a CB72 lower end with serial number CB72E-40164. It has been highly modified with 305 barrels bored out to 350cc with a race cam. larger carburetors. and high compression pistons. This was info I was told when I purchased it and it goes like it is bigger than any 350 I have ever ridden. Plus the high degree of work done to the case covers and special clutch set-up indicate a lot of work was put into it.
Running constant loss ignition with no kick start so currently bump start. Was not too hard to do.
Original Yetman gas tank with older cream coat. I put race fuel in so not a problem but if using newer fuels I would coat it again with something else. No leaks or cracks in tank.
Has some CYB parts including smooth fork crown. racing exhaust megaphones and I believe the rear sets. Perhaps more but not aware.
Rear wheel is Akront 18" with Metzeler Perfect ME99A 4. 25/85-18" tires in like new condition.
Front wheel also alloy with Metzeler Lazer Comp K 100/80-18" like new tire.
Koni rear shocks. p>Vented front brake.
I just started installing a 305 headlight guage assembly and have a fiberglass solo seat to go with it. The seat is a copy of the ones used on the Laverda SFC.
Included is a spare motor that would need to be crated and shipped separately. It is CL72E1010806. Has carbs. Missing side cover on right. So could convert to kick start.
There is no title.

I cannot crate and buyer is responsible for shipping or can pick up here. Can hire local to deliver to Forward Air in Boston for an extra $100. 00 if that helps although ground transport is quite a bit cheaper.
Motorcycle is sold as is as shown with no warrienties expressed or implied but I stand behind my description 100%.
Buyer must pay $500. 00 deposit thru paypal within 1 day and balance within 7 days by cash in person or certified or personal check but payment must clear before being shipped.
