I purchased this bike from a guy who lives about 2 hours away from me. He was the original owner. He bought it new at Honda City, Ritchie Highway, Glen Burnie, MD when his wife was 8 months pregnant with their first baby.

 

When he brought it home, she demanded to know what the heck he was going to do with that thing! He would only get to ride it once every 3 - 4 years in his backyard for about 15 - 20 minutes at a time. The damage that it has comes from being pushed around in his shed by his wife to get to her stuff.

 

The bike is 100% stock original with the exception of the shifter which came missing. This is an unrestored bike. The bike starts on first kick and runs like a new bike. I was told that the only thing that was ever done to it was to have gas put in it.

 

I have been dreaming of owning a bike like this for the past 5 years and never thought I would find one in this good shape.
