I've seen this bike before, a French couple were touring UK in about 1995 when they broke down with gearbox problems and ended up leaving it in the UK, presumably selling it to the motorcycle shop that was unable to repair it. I was surprised to see it appear in HRS motorcycles as it was the only other CB500 I'd seen for many years. I thought about buying it but was very skint at the time and was rebuilding my own CB500 to use for touring.

If memory serves correctly it was in pretty good order apart from the gearbox which presumably has now been fixed.

Nasty dent in the one downpipe but looks reasonable, might have to sell my gold one yet
