1989 Honda CB-1

See ad here:

GRM Price $1700

Seeing if anybody wants this since I just bought an 1125CR as my new daily. Fun little bike, has served me well.

Awesome bike, and pretty much what my next bike should be power wise but I am broke and half way across the country.

Awesome bike and a gutless wonder. It is a Japanese direct import and they still sell a version of it in Japan 400cc and your rev the crap out of it to get it to move.

very rewarding to ride.

Came out around the same time as the Honda Hawk.

Flight Service recommended.

I had one, and to date, it was the best of almost 20 bikes I have had. had for ten years, with almost no trouble. Not slow if you wring its neck, and a bike you can ride at 10/10ths all the time.

I've always wanted one of those. In highschool one of the few other guys who rode to school had one and I was super jealous as I was riding a 70's Honda 125 enduro. Your timing couldn't be worse. I think divorce might result if I even asked, having bought a 911 less than a week ago.

I really like these bikes. Kind of a partner to my Bandit 400:

Very tempting. I've bought two vehicles in the past few months, so the toy funds are running low at the moment.

Thanks for the praise, you guys are (almost) making me want to hold on to it. Flynlow, I actually rode a Bandit 400 the same day I bought the CB-1, and I thought it was similarly excellent but the ergonomics were totally unworkable for me.

Wow, I did not know these bikes were available in the US. I had a 1990 back in '93 or so. Extremely fun bike!

In reply to NONACK:

Yeah, the ergos are a little tight. My knees tend to rest on the framerails on longer rides. I actually occasionally wear dirtbike/motox shin and knee guards under my jeans, which makes it a lot more comfortable.

Also, the radiator dumps an awful lot of hot air on you. This can actually be a benefit when riding into work in the fall and it's 50* out.

I imagine the CB-1 is just like the Bandit from a fun standpoint though: you can rev it to the moon and ride like you're in MotoGP without actually going completely crazy or triple digits. That's where the bike really shines.

This is dead on, it's like the Miata of sportbikes. Being sold because I purchased the Viper of sportbikes.

CB-1 . . . Oh my yes!!

GLWS!!

I should add, I'll consider trades- I just don't put that in Craigslist ads because I seem to attract bros wanting someone to take over the payments on their stanceflush helladumped 2012 crapwagen

Any idea on what sort of trades you'd be interested in? Cars, parts for cars, nude photos of non attractive 30 something guy?

Cars, bikes, parts are all of interest to me, keep your photos to yourself though.

SOLD, sorry flynlow.

Congratulations! I can stop tempting myself now :) .
