1998 Honda CB 500, 499 cc. Registration number S865 JNW. Frame number ZDCPC32A0WF204329. Engine number PC26E2306510.
Honda CB500 were produced from 1993 until 2003, because of their low cost, reliability, and good handling they were popular with commuters, and Motorcycle couriers. They were also raced in the U. K. in the Honda CB500 Cup (changed its name in 2009 to the Thundersport 500 when Suzuki GS500 and Kawasaki ER-5 were included).
According to Honda engineers, the 499 cc parallel twin DOHC engine was designed to last for 190,000 miles. One motorcycle was tested by Moto Revue from 1993 through 1996. Dismantled at 31,000 miles, the engine was in perfect condition. At 62,000 miles only the cam chain and the pistons were replaced, although, in the tester's opinion, it could have run with the original parts for longer with no problems.
JNW was owned by Dennis Lumsdon from 2004 and rode it until 2007 when at 37,982 it was stored. In 2016 he made into this cafe racer it now is with hand built tank, side panels, seat, foot pegs, exhaust pipes and silencers. He changed the rear wheel and steering head bearings, clip ons and fully serviced it. MOT'd in 2016, 17 and 18 our vendor purchased it in April 2018 when at 43,151 miles, he has hardly used it.
Sold with the V5C and details of the changes made.
