This Honda CB500S was purchased in August 2011 in Staffordshire as a lighter alternative to the lady vendor's Harley Davidson Sportster (also in this sale). According to our vendor, the Honda has proved to be a reliable and faultless bike: easy, comfortable and uncomplicated to ride both in traffic and on tour. The vendor rode the Honda regularly until November 2019, covering a trouble-free 5, 500 miles in that time. Described by her as 'a great middleweight machine', the Honda has always been garaged. The after-market, street legal Beowulf exhaust is said to emit a very pleasing tone, while the machine also boasts a Scottoiler, bespoke luggage rack, fabric panniers, and an expandable top bag. Sadly, our vendor's age has forced her to give up riding, but she feels that this versatile Honda, with only 13, 430 miles recorded, deserves to motor on. Accompanying documentation consists of a current V5C Registration Certificate, MoT to 17th January 2025, Honda warranty and service booklet, and Beowulf silencer lifetime guarantee paperwork. The original exhaust system is included in the sale.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
