Champion Honda
« on: December 31, 2009, 10:32:40 am »
Not really eBay but Mark Holloways Swapmeet: This pair of project bikes are the best deal I've seen in ages. The Champion Honda is a steal at $750. I paid over $1000 for the bare frame for my own Champion Honda back in 1989! The XL 175 project is equally as good, especially considering the Powroll innards. The frame appears to be well constructed as John Cherry the seller, is a noted bicycle frame maker. It appears to be a copy of the Champion. If you add the CR parts for both bikes, this is perfect for the bloke wanting to build a couple of trick pre '75 4T race bikes. I'd be buying them in an instant if I hadn't just settled on buying Bob Neilsons factory Hindall DT1. Grab 'em before it's too late.

 Hey guys,
Years ago I planned to start vintage racing when I retired from modern racing. I discovered a love for thumpers in the mid 90's and started collecting vintage 4stroke stuff. Well I never found the time to put these project bikes together. I will probably never get to race again, so I am looking for someone to take over my projects. I started to build a really cool 74 honda XL/CR 175/250. This project has a very trick custom frame/swingarm, a 74 XL 175 motor, NOS Powrol big bore piston, new Mikuni carb, and a ton of 73/74 CR250 parts. I would take $500.00 for that bike.
I also have a nice Champion MX frame for a sideport Honda XL350, as well as a nice low hour motor, plus tons of extra motor parts and some 73/74 Honda CR 250 parts for the project. I am asking $750.00 for that bike.
Contact me if you have any interest in these projects.

I saw that Firko and thought it was cheap, the 350 would be a cool project.
I'd love to build a late 70's, early 80's C&J framed 500 Honda for the Evo class like the ones Red Racer built not long ago, i reckon you could mix it up with the big 2 strokes.

Yep, saw that. What a bargain, what a project . Even allowing for transport etc it would be tempting - but not for me - too much on.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
