Honda’s GB500 was an homage to classic British singles but there was a twist – it was reliable! The average American rider shopping for a Japanese bike at the time was more interested in the bigger supersport replicas, but the Tourist Trophy has become a cult classic.
For more on what it’s like to ride the GB500, check out this fantastic 1989 Cycle World review from Peter Egan. He concludes it by saying “Simplicity and grace are never out of style, and the GB is a simple, handsome bike. It’s not a Velocette Venom Clubman, but I don’t care. We already have Venom Clubmen if we want them. This is a new motorcycle that looks good and is fun to ride, and there are never enough of those.”
This example (VIN: JH2PC1600KK000209) has just 2,832 miles and it’s equipped with a Supertrapp exhaust (the original exhaust is included). It also comes with the tool kit, owner’s manual, and service manual. I’ll be curious to see where this one ends up, it seems to be a well-preserved example with low miles and I think GBs are quite cool!
