1972 Honda SL175 Enduro, original in mint condition. It has 4,855 miles on odometer, and I have no reason to believe they are not original based on the condition of the bike. I have put 600 miles on the bike since I bought it. Serial # "SL175-2013401" manufactured 11/71. Title is free and clear. I maintain the bike as it should be maintained... New tires are only a few years old and in great shape, new hand grips, and I had the bike recently serviced, as I do on a regular basis. Latest service (by local reputable mechanic who specializes in older/classic bikes) included oil change, new battery, carbs gone through, fuel drained and replaced with fresh, air filters cleaned and treated, all gas line rubber replaced with new in-line fuel filter, custom gasket, chain adjusted and everything looked over including points, etc. Passed state inspection, currently registered and everything works as it should. It starts easy, idles good, does not burn any oil, does not smoke, and shifts smooth. The gas tank is a 10 out of 10, finish is spectacular and no corrosion inside tank. I always turn the petcock off when finished riding and let the carbs run dry to prevent residue build up. The seat is original and 10 out of 10, soft and pliable. Paint on fenders & lamp is 10 out of 10. Most chrome & aluminum finishes are a 9 out of 10 or better. Gauges and many components are like new. I unfortunately put some hair-line cracks in the right side plate when I recently tried to remove it in a hurry (bad on me!). I put tape on the inside of the cover to firmly hold it, to keep it from cracking further, and it still looks good and stays in place. You should know that it is there. You can hardly see it unless you are looking for it. The left side does not have any cracks. This bike is for a serious collector and/or someone who can appreciate the beauty and condition of this time piece. What this bike is not is for someone wanting a commuter bike, to use on the roads or trails and tear it up. It turns heads wherever I take it and I'm not interested in giving it away. Here is a link to additional close up pictures and a video taken today, 8/26/14. What you are seeing in these pictures are the close up "nitty gritty", what most people won't show you. Step back a few feet, and you don't see these imperfections. I did not "detail" the bike for these pictures. s:// /photos/100308082311074001563/albums/6051976192966071313?authkey=CJGCqb7D8qL6twE Serious inquiries only! I'm not interested in low ball offers or help in selling it. If it doesn't sell quickly, I'm not worried about it. No texting, call and leave a message if I can't answer and I'll get back with you... 210-601-9914 $4,000.00
