Goldwing would probably have cruise. Came up on one the other day that had the radio blaring and the A/C turned up.

He DID mention he wished it had A/C. Leads me to believe that whatever it is, he's outdoors on it for a long period of time. A riding mower might be a candidate, but it's not gonna need a chrome tail pipe. I was initially thinking Vino/Ruckus/Whatever that was small... and that could still be possible. Streetable could either mean A- it won't pass regs (IE a E36 M3 alignment) or B- it's not street legal. Apparently it needed Tax Title and Liscense, which pretty much throws a gokart out of the mix, or most types of ATVs..... though I know you CAN register them in MN if you plan on taking them off property. A bike would make the most sense in this event.... what sorta honda has two dents in the side (Assuming that it wasn't an accidental dent, and it was a design choice by Honda).

This has been a wonderful morning.
You have all performed wisely. I'll post a couple more clues, then photos this afternoon. Nobody has guessed correctly yet.
1 - It has traditional handlebars and is driven by a chain, but its not a bike or ATV.
2 - You are correct that it is not a road vehicle. The "$75 including TTL" simply meant that TTL cost $0 since it is not required for this item.
3 - The rear axle has wheels, but no tires, and that's how its supposed to be.
4 - When operating properly, its top speed is about 3 inches/minute, depending on track conditions

Actually all Honda self-propelled mowers are FWD.

Excellent deduction given the clues.... but incorrect.
Honda Lawn Aerator?

As per the terms set forth in my first post, I still have 12 hours to produce pictures.

as a convenient side-effect I would say there is some aeration going on.... but no.

what kind of anything "needs" a chrome anything? I just did it for fun.

Nope, actual accidental dents... complete with rust.
Rototiller
Log splitter? Power washer? some other garden accessory?
Trencher? Paving machine?
chainsaw?
Makes me suspect grounds equipment. Like a tiller or snowblower. Both of which Honda makes. That top speed though, both go faster than 3 inches per minute.

All of the current Honda built mowers are RWD

Honda Generator?
I am going to guess it's some kind of device used for either drying a track, cleaning up an oil spill, repairing damage to asphalt....that type of thing. Like what they use at drag strips when a car takes a dump at the line. What else would/could move that slow?
"Track speed" and "wheels without tires" makes me think it's some sort of rail-based conveyance, especially since the "drive" wheels would be the ones without tires.
Failing that, is it amphibious?
Even Honda Kick n' Go's are faster than three inches per minute.
Walk-behind concrete/ pavement saw
Aeration as a "convenient side effect" certainly lends credence to the rototiller guess. The rear axle having wheels but no tires could be interpreted that way, for the tines.
I think the biggest issues with the rototiller are the speed, and the "rear wheel drive". Those rear wheels are driven, but the don't drive the rototiller. Those are both a stretch, and even calling the tines "wheels" seems a little iffy...
Fine, I'm putting my goose egg in the rototiller basket. I won't be disappointed to be wrong, 'cause the answer will be entertainingly weird...
chain driven.... wheels but no tires.... that particular one gets me a little....because it could be a hard plastic "Wheel" with no tire attached. Top speed of 3in/min... is it moving forward at this time?
Added a chrome pipe and painted it black for fun. Sounds like something i'd do fer fun too. I don't suspect it's a rototiller tho.... those move a helluva lot faster than 3in/min.
I suppose it could be an edger/trencher, but damn, those probably move faster than 3in/min too.
"depending on track conditions"......... you didn't do something silly and buy a pavement striper, did you?

And they were 20 years ago also when I bought mine.
