The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike with a lighterweight 500cc little brother following soon after bringing back memories of Mike Hailwood's Grand Prix bike of the late 1960s.
This good looking CB500 Four has been part of an enthusiast’s private collection of classic bikes spanning the decades from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Unfortunately, due to ill health, he can no longer ride and maintain the bikes, so reluctantly he has to let them find new homes. Not run for a number of years they have been carefully stored in a dry building but will all need recommissioning before use. The bike is presented in good original condition and fitted with the all-important HMCB500SL/SRHM323 exhaust system and a neat rear carrier. Once recommissioned this early four-cylinder CB500 will make a very useable bike in modern day road conditions while still appreciating in value. It comes supplied with a current V5C.
