Comments from the seller

Modified Cafe Racer style 1981 Honda CX500 Custom. The bike is on C4C Club rego "Restricted Use" and registered until May 2026. Slash cut exhaust sounds loud and great! Carbies cleaned and balanced professionally, full oil and fluids changed and serviced ~200 kms ago in early Dec 2025. I'm keen to sell to make room for a new project but will not respond to low ball offers or tyre kickers. Open to negotiate but only after inspection. Bike can be viewed in or around CBD or close to Yokine area. Can arrange shipping interstate at buyers expense.
