Honda MB5’s for Sale
FUCK YOU assholes on craigslist. Flag this page you scumbags!
Racer Red $1300
Up for sale is my beloved MB5 racer bike. The only reason I’m selling this is because we are buying a house WAY out in the sticks and it’s absolutely impractical for me to be commuting on this little guy. YOU NEED A MOTORCYCLE LICENSE TO RIDE THIS BIKE. This bike is one bad ass motherfucker! If you are a beginner I recommend something else as this has no turn signals installed which means you cannot take your test on it. Oh, and please be a crazy “little bike” person as well otherwise you will not get along with this 2-stroke fucking terror.
The story:
I had been searching for a decent MB5 for several years and when I found this one in stock trim I had to buy it. Shortly after I brought her home I began the transformation. I stripped the motorcycle to nothing but a box of parts, soda blasted everything, and put some decent paint on her. She had a blue seat so I sprayed it with vinyl paint. Obviously it didn’t work too well so if this “patina” bothers you, Ebay can help you find an new seat cover in black. This little bike revs to 12k+, currently goes 61mph (with smaller sprocket on the front she’ll cruise at 66mph but loses it on hills), is loud as fuck, and gets way more attention than other “cooler” bikes. I routinely take this on I-205 from exit 12 to 17 and back again when going into Portland. This baby handles like a nimble little race bike and I love it to death. Speedo works nut-on and tach works but I think it may be reading too high. Odometer does not work however. The little lights in the dash DO work so you know when you are in neutral or when your high beam is on. Now for the parts list:
- Bridgestone Battlax BT39SS tires. These are OEM for the infamous and RARE Honda Dream 50R (Japan only and VERY EXPENSIVE, see this link for more information).
- CR80 intake with 18mm carburetor. This intake will accept damn near any carb you can find. I was running a 26mm on this and have done all carbs in between. Depends on how crazy you wanna go I guess. UNI air filter fits on all carburetors, hence the name “UNI”.
- Rad battery hold down bungee cord
- Flat bars with a very nice drop mirror (i.e. not Chinese crap)
- Malossi 70cc kit. While I had the engine apart I checked everything out and all bearings are in fantastic shape. I have a spare brand new OEM small end rod bearing in an envelope that goes with it just in case something bad every happens.
- Proma Exhaust. I welded the pipe to the flange instead of using those stupid spring things they included in the package.
- New 35T rear sprocket with brand new chain
- Custom LED tail/brake light
- Clear title and current plate
- How much more stuff can you put on this thing anyway? It’s so small!
So as you can see, the bike has no turn signals although the wiring is still intact for them (I can throw in a pile of busted up turn signal parts if you REALLY want to have ugly-ass turn signals, just use your hand man!). The bike is premix only as well. It has a crankcase full of MOTUL super bad-ass race oil so she’s good to go. I’ll toss in a whole CR80 engine so you can do the 6-speed 4 disc clutch swap. What else… Headlight is “you’re an asshole” bright, makes night riding a blast. YOU WILL GET MORE ATTENTION THAN YOU MAY DESIRE when riding this thing around. Be prepared to regurgitate some crazy story about finding this bike in the jungle of some south American country and riding through a war zone to bring it to Portland (or whatever you can think up). This bike is loud, fast (for a 50cc anyway, er…umm.. 70cc), and RED. I have an original shop manual that I can scan for you and put in PDF format. She’s super reliable and more fun than you have EVER had in the city. Horn is loud too so you can honk at all those cockboy moped riders who think they’re cool as you rip past them doing 60. Did I mention this has a grabby hydraulic disc on the front? You should already know that if you are reading this ad and made it this far. MB5’s aren’t for everyone but they are for YOU (only if you made it this far in the ad). Now for the pictures!!!
Price is firm so no lowballers. Since I am moving far far away from PDX and I still like to ride motorcycles, I’d consider a trade (with cash if needs be) for a Honda NX125 or other cool weird bike that goes faster than 60 (in case you haven’t figured it out, I WILL NOT TRADE FOR CHEAPO CHINESE CRAPO BIKES so don’t even ask! MB’s are super engineered screamers built to last many years and take abuse, unlike your exploding chinese garbage. You are a retard for buying a chinese crap-o bike in the first place).
Stocker Bike $1000
Selling my most recent MB5 project but this one is a restoration. 1200 original miles with an Oregon license plate from 1987. She runs smooth as silk too. I stripped it down, blasted everything, painted her, and put on new parts including a rear tire, OEM NOS turn signal switch housing, new chain, new handlebar, and new carburetor. I do not have the title but the previous owners son signed a bill of sale (previous owner is deceased father). Since it has an original OR license plate filing for lost title should be a piece of cake. This bike is AS-NEW and I do have the turn signals for it if you really really want them. Stock trim this bike does exactly 51mph with a 150lb. person. Anyone else who says theirs does 55mph in stock trim is lying (I’ve had enough MB’s to know). See my other ad for the infamous Red Racer. I have a smaller front sprocket I can put on this bike and she’ll do 55mph if you like. The best thing about this bike is she’s quiet, stealthy, and gets TONS of attention. She still has the stock oil injection so you do not have to mix oil/gas. I will help buyer acquire the title for this bike as a courtesy. I am moving too far in the country to need these little bikes so they must go!! Find one nicer for a grand, I dare you! Please note this is NOT a moped.
