Realistic offers are welcome...... if you are close enough viewing is recommended to appreciate the sheer effort and attention to detail that went into this bikeFirstly must say that can take no credit whatsoever for this amazing motorcycle. She was planned and built by number of professionals under the guidance of Rolls Royce engineer from Derby. I have moved to house with pathway to the rear which is too narrow to pass easily and the bike has therefore been stored in friend's garage locally since purchase. This is the only reason for very reluctant sale of what considered to be "keeper" and believe me have had few bikes and thought that but this bike surpasses them all. I am however in no rush to sell as have already replaced her with another standout bike, BMW K100 Scrambler again in post build condition which is due to be delivered this week (thanks Iain)The bike is classic one-off Honda Café Racer built with meticulousattention to detail, using recognised professionals with absolutely stunningresults.Built from 1979 Honda CB650Z, the engine was fullyre-built by Steve Lambley near Shrewsbury, returning with all new bearings, camchain, rings and re-finished cases plus numerous other details. The frame wasde-lugged by the then owner, time served Toolmaker and passed to Steve Gaggof Ilkeston, Derbyshire for fabrication of the hand formed aluminium tank, seat,front mudguard, foot rest hangers, under-seat battery box and stainless steelreverse cone mega mated to Predator stainless headers.Honda CB550 F2 Front and CB750 F1 rear wheels werere-finished, fitted with new bearings and re-laced by Steve Gagg usingstainless steel spokes and 18” aluminium rims.All frame components were re-stoved by Belmont MetalFinishing and the seat tank painted by Andy of “The Paint Studio” inIlkeston.The fork stanchion were hard chromed and legs painted beforenew seals and Progressive springs were fitted. At the rear new, longer YSSshocks raise the bikes rear to improve turn-in and give that classic racerstance.New electrical components were linked together in fullrewire by “Towza” of Towzatronics, Long Eaton.

As well as numerous spacers, Johno of AJP Engineering, Bilsthorpe,CNC machined the caliper mount. The rear is all Honda CB750 F1.The carbs were ultrasonically cleaned and all steel partsre-plated and rebuilt by Matt of Harper’s Ultrasonics in Nantwich plus she wasset up on dyno by Sam Ermolenko of Sam’s Dyno Centre.David Silver Spares provide way too many parts to mentionand have huge amount of images of the entire build if anybody wants to seethem. will include these with thebike.The entire build (with all receipts logged in acomprehensive data folder) cost £12,000+ plus huge number of hours which arenot costed for R&D and the previous owner’s time.There is also box of parts (e.g. second front disc andspacers caliper mount) plus number of hard copy and PDF manuals from Haynesand Clymer).A truly one of kind bike in post build condition.. mustsee for any Honda enthusiast, Café Racer aficionado or Petrol Head....
