The Honda nutjobs out there would pay that price just for the front number plate. ;D

Craig - that Honda affliction is starting to get stronger and stronger!

broken kickstarter shaft? :o
didn't someone on here mention a while back that that was one of the real sore points with this model?
shame if it is as they're a pretty neat looking bit of gear.
except for that front number plate... phlark... :D

Yes kick start shaft amoungst a lot of other problem, but pretty thing and yes I would pay a fortune for that number plate/
-
How unmolested is that? I reckon that kicker shaft must have broken in its first year going by the condition. I'd love to own it ::).

Even if you add shipping, you'd still land it here for under $4k. ;D

Hows this for a bargain. Ive emailed him but I think it's probably gone. :'(

I thought that was the attraction, what made it so collectible - the first, the last, the biggest, the fastest, the most powerful, the ........ ;) ;D

I reckon it's a pretty good price for such a clean bike. Of course that model was considered pretty ordinary and wouldn't be the finest choice as a race bike but like Graeme says, it's an important historical stepping stone bike and deserves its place in any collection. Sometimes we have to take our helmet off and look at a bike as a collector piece/ cool CD bike rather than as a racer At first I figured that it was a well preserved original barn find but it appears that the bike has been restored at some stage. The engine appears to have been repainted going by the painted over scrapes on the ignition cover. Maybe just the cover has been painted. I'd like to know for sure if all the gears still exist in the trans before parting with my readies though ::).
As far as the CR500, ever since I sold my big Maicos I've wanted another 80's open classer, just for Classic Dirt laps and some dirt track fun. If any open class bike was better than the 490 Maico it was the CR500...just look at their championship success. This bike appears to be pretty good but I've asked JoJo just why it's so cheap. I'd be pretty sure that an engine rebuild and suspension upgrade would be on the cards. Still no reply but I'm not too worried, I just paid for my new Hindall this morning so I'm a bit over my budget for the month so if I missed out...so be it, I won't break out in tears. :'(

I replied to him that I can get the bike to Australia for half of the 1k he's asking and to ask what the general condition of the bike is? I await his reply with baited breath.
-
a grand to ship it within his own state ?
a shonk no doubt.
-
what a con,1K to ship local.send round the CA Kevlar chapter and give him a good Rogering!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of these guys are freaking dreamers,I just received a rm 125 piston in a box around 150mm x 150mm talk about rip off merchants.

The '84 is not as sort after as the '83. The '83 is the end of the class they run unlike ours. I bought one in the U.S. for $380 U.S. a year or so ago.

After a few more back and forth emails Jojo got his shipping down to $700. I told him I told him it was a $200 gig and that I'd ask a mate to see if he'd pick it up for me but that he'd have to wait until the morning (it was 3.30 am California time). He then got a little smarmy and asked me to call my mate right then which I naturally refused. I then cancelled the deal. it all got too hard. I'm getting the Hindall, Alan's Redline and my Triumph engine being picked up today so I've got too much on the boil anyway. I'll wait until the right ATK 605 comes along.
If anyone else wants a cheap CR500 tell JoJo I sent you..

It sure was a sore point !
I still remember like it was yesterday as a 16 year old having saved my arse off to buy my CR450, about the 3rd time I rode it, to my utter disbelief breaking off the kickstarter with my left foot !
