A factory 'café racer' introduced in 1986, the GB500TT looked very British, boasting coachlined paintwork; clip-on handlebars; rear-set footrests; chromed headlamp shell; matching speedometer and rev counter; and alloy-rimmed, wire-spoked wheels. It was a model that struck a chord with mature riders who hankered after the past but disliked the associated oil leaks, dodgy electrics, and general unreliability. Representing a rare opportunity to acquire one of these collectible Hondas, the US model offered here is one of the best we have seen. Purchased in 2000, it has been expertly modified by Roy, who has swapped over the gearchange/rear brake to the 'British' positions. The machine comes with its original silver-painted fuel tank and other original components. Accompanying paperwork includes an old US title; two bills of sale; and old/current V5/V5C documents.
