1999 Honda CB500S
« on: January 02, 2022, 16:47:40 »
Evening all

The missus is clearing some garage space ready for a new arrival in a couple of weeks. V Strom in background most definitely not included 😉.
Can send full size photos or start and run videos if anyone is interested.

Wow..!!. Nice example and low mileage. :thumb:

I love my little CB500 , it does exactly what I want in a bike and I've owned several.

Your asking price , do you think you will get it..?

Reason I ask is they are getting rare which may sway me into parking mine up and storing it , future classic I think ..

It's a lovely little runner but she's just bought an f750GS to keep the touring miles off her Ducati Scrambler and she doesn't really have room for all 3 🤣.
If it doesn't go for at least close then I can see her keeping it, sentimental value and all that.

I'm my opinion,  if you don't need the money,  store it for the next 10 years or so ..  :thumb:

I got lucky and paid £400 for mine some years back ...  :grin:  :whistle:

A friend has the same bike and colour with 24k on the clock, not quite as clean, and needs using as he has had no end of carb issues if left.
A lot of larger bikes out there for about £2k, but you might find someone who had one years ago etc.
Likely a modern classic, albeit not as desirable as an LC350 etc.
Good luck with the sale  :thumb:

Well the little yellow peril has just been packed off to her new home.
Went for the asking price to a lad who needed a first big bike but wanted something with a bit of old school character rather than a modern sewing machine.
Just in time for the missus' new touring bike to arrive too which was handy.
