1983 Honda CB1000 Custom review from Canada
"One of Honda's best motorcycles"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Carburetor jets needed replacing,
General comments?
Wonderfully reliable motorcycle.
Extremely good touring machine with Honda-line fairing.
Acceptable brakes and handling for such a large machine.
Quick acceleration, lots of top end.
High range cuts rpm on highway dramatically.
