Back in 1988 someone must have had a nice summer ripping around on their brand new Hurricane. Then, just like a real Hurricane, it was time for this one to fade away. Lucky for us, someone took the time to tuck it way in a safe place. All too often bikes like these end up behind the shed with barely a tarp on them.
Walk into a Honda dealer today and say you are looking for a 600 Hurricane and see if the salesman has a clue what you are talking about.
Here is the story on it:
All original except for Supertrapp muffler, The preferred Red with White, Needs carbs cleaned and battery to run, engine has good compression and turns over fine, tires have zero rot and are not hard all rubber and seat cover are nice and pliable, paint has zero fade not even the mirrors that are known to fade easily if left outside much, this bike has been stored properly. Absolutely beautiful, please know all the black pieces are all original and have not been treated with back to black or any restoration product. Same with the red and white painted pieces
Danger! Looks like all the fun factory stickers have survived.
Does the odometer lie? I sure don’t think so, it is one nice example.
This one is residing down south in Atlanta and the asking price is $3,350.

Man that looks clean! The red with white stripe was always my fav color scheme.
This just doesn’t make sense….it’s crazy that he doesn’t have it running. This the the WRONG way to sell a bike.
Frank, I spoke with the guy who owns it, he said he intended to get it running but doesn’t have the time… I also found out the history on the bike. He is the 3rd owner and purchased it off ebay a couple months ago.. how did we miss the bike the first time. The guy he bought it from bought it out of LA , it was used with just a few miles on it, he then road the thing I think he said to SF parked it for a number of years in a climate controlled area, then got it back up and running again, road it again briefly and then it sit again for a period of time before selling it to the current owner sold it on ebay here recently to the current owner in Atlanta. He seemed well versed on the bike as he was a former motorcycle dealer employee. He is a gentleman in his 50’s. I hope it checks out and is ligit as advertised, because I just pay paled the guy some cash…
I’m wondering if this is a California model- seller doesn’t say if it is or isn’t- buyers need to know the full story. We all know the downsides if it is…
K3 Hope the bike checks out. It looks like a nice deal if it does. Good luck!
The guy backed out and refunded my deposit. he said he had a change of heart and just couldn’t sell it… oh well I guess we’ll never know..
