1983 Honda CB1000 Custom review from United States of America
"Rock solid, fast,and enjoyable."
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
I opened the air box to find about 75 ACORNS & HICKORY NUTS INSIDE! Yet... the bike not only reached 95 mph, it was only running on TWO cylinders! We replaced one of the two ignition modules so that cylinders 2 & 3 would join in.
General comments?
Low enough to be in/on the bike. Good low center of gravity. Smooth strong acceleration.
Seat a little uncomfortable after 30 minutes. Only one seating position. Handles predictably & surely.
