1983 Honda CB1000 Custom review from United States of America
"Cool ride?"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Rear brake caliper had stuck and melted when I purchased this bike.
Cam chain was out of adjustment.
This bike ran but on 2 cylinders.
General comments?
Purchased this bike for $300. Did some miner repairs to the brakes. Took this bike for a test ride discovered it ran on 2 cylinders. Chased wires and re-rode. HOLY COW this is one fast smooth running bike.
