Summary
From Bring a Trailer
This 1987 Honda CR500R was acquired by the seller in 2023 and subsequently refurbished with work that included rebuilding the liquid-cooled 491cc two-stroke single, powder-coating the frame, and replacing various pieces of the plastic bodywork. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a five-speed transmission, and the bike is equipped with adjustable Showa suspension, a Pro-Link box-section aluminum swingarm, front and rear disc brakes, and wire-spoke wheels with gold-finished rims as well as a Keihin carburetor, an expansion-chamber exhaust system, a blue vinyl solo seat, and a cross-braced handlebar. This CR500R is now offered at no reserve in Wisconsin for off-road use only with photos of the refurbishment and a bill of sale.
More details
The tubular steel frame was powder-coated red as part of the aforementioned refurbishment before various pieces of the plastic bodywork were replaced. Equipment includes a blue vinyl solo seat with white CR letting as well as yellow front and side number plates, spring-loaded serrated foot pegs, and a 2.2-gallon fuel tank. The motorcycle is not equipped with a side stand, and the pictured center stand is not included in the sale.
Wire-spoke wheels with gold-finished rims measuring 21″ up front and 18″ out back are mounted with Vee Moto Gold Medal knobby tires. Adjustable Showa suspension consists of a 43mm leading-axle telescopic fork with blue accordion gaiters as well as a Pro-Link box-section aluminum swingarm fitted with a replacement monoshock. Braking is handled by multi-piston calipers mounted over drilled discs at both ends.
The cross-braced handlebar is equipped with a Honda-branded foam guard along with a kill switch and clutch and brake levers. The CR500R is not equipped with an odometer or other instrumentation, therefore true mileage is unknown. The liquid-cooled 491cc two-stroke single was rebuilt in 2024 with work that included refinishing the engine case and replacing the bearings, rings, and gaskets.
It features reed-valve induction, a 38mm Keihin carburetor, a kick starter, and an expansion chamber exhaust system refinished in black with an upswept silencer mounted beneath the rear fender. Power is sent to the rear wheel through a multi-plate wet clutch, a five-speed transmission, and a drive chain. Photos showing various stages of the refurbishment work can be viewed in the gallery.
The motorcycle’s VIN stamping is shown above. It is only partially legible. The motorcycle does not have a title and is not registered for road use.
It is being sold for off-road use on a bill of sale only.
