Alameda, California

Selling my girlfriend's 1979 Honda CM400A motorcycle. She bought it a couple of years ago and never got her license, so it's basically been sitting :(In general, it's in great shape for its age. The metallic green paint still shines, it starts on the first or second kick (it's also got an electric start) and it's super easy to ride. I pulled the (new) battery while it was sitting and kept it on a trickle charger. I also kept the tank topped up with Stabil. It's been covered, in a garage, but I pulled it out this morning and it started right up when I put the battery back in. I rode it around town and gave it a bath and I didn't have any problems. All the lights work and the horn works (but it's admittedly super dinky haha). You can check out a couple vids I took when I rode it this morning:Electric start: s:// /r4i6fKick start: s:// /b7qsiA few things should be taken care of: the front disc needs a new pad, the tires should probably be replaced (there's plenty of tread, but the sidewalls are cracking), and it could probably use a carb cleaning. It started up fine this morning, but tended to sputter a little when I took the choke off. This would be a great starter bike for someone intimidated by a manual transmission. There's no clutch on this thing, you just shift it into neutral, first or second at will. It's also got a super low (and comfy) seat. Could be cafe'd pretty easy. Lastly, SOMEONE never got this thing registered, so it's got some back fees. I have the title, but it still has the previous owner's info on it. I checked on the DMV's website today and the back fees total approximately $367. I attached a pic of the estimate for reference. You can also look up the VIN for yourself: NC022003400. I'm sorry to see this thing go, but I hope it ends up in good hands! Asking $1800 OBO Cash only. You can test ride with an M1 license and cash in hand. Text or email Sam for more info.
