Description
This Honda GB500TT is very low milage for the year, in superb condition, excellent in fact! I have spent £780 on the engine and carb, now running smoothly, starts first time, idles beautifully, new air filter, new petrol tap, new hand made stainless steel exhaust, to match the original. Has always been garaged, and ridden in the dry. The only reason I am selling is, I have a bad back, so by the time I get off even after a shortish ride I am aching, which then last several days!! It's a beautiful motorcycle, a reliable Honda 500cc engine, which was used in so many bikes, spares are not a problem. The beauty about the GB500TT is they are so rare, I've only seen one on the road before and since I bought it, in the IOM Classic TT week.
The Honda GB500 'Tourist Trophy' (or TT) is an air-cooled single-cylinder solo café racer motorcycle. It was first marketed in Japan in 1985 in two 400 cc and one 500 cc versions. In 1989, Honda introduced a third 400 cc version for Japan; and in 1989 and 1990 a 500 cc version was available in the United States.
