You won't buy it. Stop searching. Honda control the sale (at their
exorbitant prices of course). Scrapyards?

Voltages will go up to about 400V for transistorised ignitions and much
higher for CDI ignitions. (6kv?)

Transistorised ignitions use a single switch; the circuit will be
simpler (One side of the ignition coil to battery, other side to switch,
and the switch would go to ground. The capacitor will be ~2.2uF 400V 
(1uF - 5uF 400V - I'm guessing 2.2). If the transistors are bipolar, use
BU 806s or similar. If you buy the capacitor for any motor car or bike,
they will be 1-5uF, 400V. TX ignitions can be a very simple unit, unless 
they have gimmickry for treating the timing pulse. 

A CDI (Capacitor discharge) usually has a little tx generating several
KV across a capacitor. One side of your HT coil goes to ground, and the
other side to the switch point. This pumps short (a few uS) pulses into
the coil giving a short series of sparks to simulate a longer one. Throw
this out, unless you know what you are doing. You will hardly have
access to parts that take 6 - 10KV, and it is a much more complicated unit.
When things are blown up & scorched, the part numbers are a little more
difficult to read. There will also be a HV & a LV section on this,
probably distinguishable by the spaces between pcb tracks.
