2004 or is that a typo? Assuming you meant 2014. If not, that would require a lot of self discipline having a 12 yr old bike that's never been ridden sitting in my living room.

Not a typo. It's a 2004 CB50R.

Yep, I with the group. The low mileage is a factor. The bike probably hasn't been ridden long enough ( like on a very long several hours long ride) for the motor to really get hot. So make a fair offer, change the oil and filter, and start riding after doing the 600 mile check! Russ

Interesting. Googled it and there seem to be a lot of these on display in folks' living rooms. It is a pretty thing!

I wish I could buy this bike BigHonda spotted... Confused

Fly to go get it, immediate oil change, fresh gas and ride it home. That girl needs a proper riding. Biker

Good luck with it and I hope you get it.

I asked my wife if I could build a well lit rotating platform in our bay window to display mine. Can't say what she said on here... most of it would get beeped out!!!

Not a serious concern, but after you start it up, just be sure to do a good thorough "inspection" for any oil/gas/brake fluid leaks, vacuum leaks, check the tire pressures, etc, and even if its been on a tender the whole time, the battery still may have been compromised.

Less than 600 miles but never serviced? What a find!!! Write a check PRONTO!!!
