For every success story in Hollywood, there are a million failures. Here’s your chance to be part of one of those rare success stories, sort of.
Celebrity-owned vehicles are, as a rule, either hard to come by or very expensive, and sometimes both at the same time. This isn’t such a case: Ed Helms, best known as Stu from The Hangover trilogy, is parting ways with his first, pre-fame motorcycle.
Granted, Ed Helms is not on the same level of notoriety as, say, Keanu Reeves or George Clooney, but he is a well-known, respected and appreciated comedy actor whose fans will most surely love the chance to ride the same Honda he used to ride back in the day. Currently listed on Craigslist by Atlantis Motor Garage in Los Angeles, the 1976 Honda CB 750 F presents itself in impeccable condition.
The listing notes that it was used by Helms back in the day when he still lived in New York City and struggled to go mainstream. In fact, he used it to get to auditions and, more so for this reason, carries huge sentimental value.
When Helms moved to Los Angeles, he had the bike shipped there, so you know it was a really special one. He hadn’t taken it out much in recent years, though: the listing notes he’d been keeping it in storage at Atlantis Motor Garage, which may have led to the decision to finally let go of it.
“This Vintage Honda CB750F is sentimental to the actor but he has now decided to take it out of storage, do a full tuneup to be sold,” the listing notes. “Title in hand. Runs great, good tires and brakes, carbs cleaned, fresh oil, new battery, dyna electronic ignition.”
With some 13,500 miles (21,726 km) on the clock, the vintage Honda is selling for just $4,800 – a bargain if you consider the rate at which other celebrity-owned vehicles change hands.
