French registration
- An iconic model of the decade, emblematic of the 70s
- Matching numbers and recent full restoration
- A rare and sought-after motorcycle for collectors and Honda enthusiasts.
The machine presented here is a 1972 Honda CB 500, matching numbers and acquired in 2022 in its original "barn door" condition. Since then, it has benefited from a complete restoration: engine completely rebuilt (pistons, rings, primary chain, timing, valves, gaskets, etc.), new ignition (switches, coils, condensers, spark plugs), carburetor renovation using ultrasonic cleaning, replacement of jets, needles and gaskets, new electrics, new paintwork in the original shade, as well as 4 new pots and virtually new tires.
Some original parts, such as rims, mudguards, saddle and speedometers, were kept as they were. Numerous invoices support the work carried out, including interventions in 2023 for a total of €3,277, involving machining of guides, replacement of valve guides, sealing of seats and valves, as well as surfacing of the cylinder head.
The description of the vehicle is based on information provided by the seller, who remains solely responsible for the condition of the vehicle. The House of Osenat verifies their consistency.
