Vehicle Description
***BEING SOLD WITH TITLE*** In the late '80s, Honda introduced
several innovative motorcycles: the Trans-Alp, the Hawk, and the
GB500. Due to the weak dollar, they cost over $4,000 in 1989, a lot
of money for a bike in the 500cc range. One was then offered a BSA
Goldstar / Velocette,Thruxton-style tribute bike with an electric
starter and a reliable engine (and electrics!). Sadly, like many
units, they floundered; they were stacked up in Honda's warehouses.
A few years after introduction, it was not uncommon to come across
some that were half-priced. Honda finally took the last ones and
dumped them in Europe. As soon as something disappears, everyone
wants them! This is a clever ''resto mod'' with its Suzuki 4LS
brake, in lieu of the original disc. A SuperTrapp exhaust completes
the retro look. This bike has driven only 10,326 miles!
