1986 Honda GB TT (600cc~) Cafe Racer

WANT TO SWAP FOR SPORTS / SPORTS-TOURER BIKE (A CBR/VFR/GSX/Ninja or something similar), but am open to money offers.

Casually looking to trade, I am in no hurry to sell my baby, the only reason I'm considering selling her is to move to a larger sports bike to visit family in South Otago on a regular basis, I would want her to go to a good home with someone that will continue to service and look after her the way I do - I will truly be very sad to see her go, but I cannot afford to own two bikes.


I've spent quite a damn lot of money on her over the last few years, She started life as a GB 500 TT - NOT a 400, She's still reg'd as a 500 at the moment.

-Reconditioned Engine - Bored and Sleeved, New Wiseco XR 600 Piston, Valve Grind, Head etc... (Hills Performance Engineering / KG Motorcycles) to 600cc Earlier This Year.
-Dyno Tuned By Dynoworx / Honda Country Ashburton November This Year
-Rebuilt Carb
-Single / Cafe Racer Seat Fully Restored 6 Months Ago
-Cafe Style Bar End Mirror (Comes with Brand New Spare AND Two Standard Chrome Mirrors!)
-O-Ring Chain and Sprockets Both Done Less Than 3000KM Ago
-Free Flowing Muffler Made By KG Motorcycles (She sounds so,so sweet!)
-Custom Front Visor / Sports Wind Guard
-New Clutch & Springs 2500KM~ Ago
-New Iridium Plug
-Replaced Voltage Regulator
-Replaced CDI
-Replaced Coil
-New Battery about 6 months ago
-New Air Filter 2500KM~ Ago
-White Wall Tyres
-Original Hand Book
-Good Grips
-Excellent Electric Start Motor
-Side and Full Stand.
-Chrome Chain Guard.
-Cat removed.
-Cam&Chain Nice and Tidy.
-Gearbox is very solid.
-Very Straight Body, Wheels etc...
-ALWAYS Well Serviced On Time With Castrol Activ 4T.

If you wanted to grunt her up even more I'd suggest some nice headers, but she really pulls well already, front break pad probably almost due to be done and there is a crack in front headlight's glass (Does have a plastic shield attached).

If you're looking for a cult cafe racer bike, something a bit rare, something grunty and light that loves the hills you might be looking at the right bike.


Feel free to PM me any questions, I'm not a mechanic myself but will do my best.

(Some of the photos were taken before the whitewall's - they really add a lot to the look of the bike.)

you paid for that exhaust?
Why didn't they open up the existing one?

[sammcj]

It was a bit too short and it was bloody restrictive, wasn't the standard one.
