CR60R (G)

R119

Bought privately in April 2015 from N.Ireland. Advertised as a 1984 CR60 but pretty obvious is was either an 85 or 86. Lucky me, turns out to be a 1986 model. Had confirmation from Honda Japan via Honda UK following a VIN and engine number search. Date of production was 17/07/1985, inspected and packaged same day and shipped the following day to Honda Europe (UK), but has a 1986 model year coding and manufacturers label on stem (which also has the VIN number printed on it as well as being stamped onto the frame on the usual left hand side of the stem). Possible this was the very first 1986 designated bike as the VIN ends 300100

All original plastics and seat in good condition for restoring. Seat cover will require professional restoration due to stitching failure top, back right corner.

Both front and rear will require rebuild

12" steel rear rim by ARAYA (original)
14" steel front rim by ARAYA (original)
Both in very poor condition and some spokes missing (and not S/S so also in a poor state).
I have purchased new silver coloured Excel Takasago rims and will fit Bulldog spokes but will also have a crack at restoring the original wheels.
