The Honda CB-1 was a wonderful standard in a time of replica racers. Originally built for the Japanese market, it was a beautifully balanced motorcycle that lost out in an American market that was obsessed with having as much horsepower as possible.
Cycle World called the CB-1 “a great motorcycle that never found an audience,” — in hindsight, it’s easy to see why. A healthy 55 horsepower was enough to take this 400-pound bike up to 118 miles per hour, and the upright seating position lent itself to comfortable commuting or canyon carving. General consensus at the time was that this bike the perfect “street weapon for the masses.”
Manufactured in June of 1989, this example is VIN: JH2NC2702LM100040, engine #: NC27E2100040 . The seller acquired this CB-1 six years ago.
During his ownership, the seller has covered approximately 1,000 miles. The odometer shows 6,015 miles.
Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us change the oil, flush the brakes, clean and adjust the chain, and replace the airbox boots, the throttle cable, the spark plugs, the broken carb arm, and the battery. We also installed new tires with date codes of 4418.
