Selling my 1983 Honda CB1000 Custom. The bike is rare since it was a one-year only model, and succeeded the 1980-1982 CB900 Customs. The CB1000 Custom was mainly an engine upgrade over the CB900 Customs, increasing the displacement and horsepower from 902 cc and 84 hp to 973 cc and 89 hp. I've owned it for over a year now, and it has performed flawlessly. I've owned other CB1000 Customs before, and this was the best I've owned. Great power, handles really well, and well sorted out. Comes with dual-range transmission--unique to CB900 Customs and CB1000 Customs. Reduces RPM by about 1,000, so RPMs when going 70 mph drop from 5,000 to 4,000. Bike includes the complete Vetter touring package, but I have all original parts as well--headlight, turn signals, horns, etc. This Vetter fairing also includes the rare "horn option"--which means it includes twin Fiamm horns installed in the fairing body cavity. These horns are as loud as car horns. Relatively new Dunlop D404's, saddle has been reupholstered with real leather, new petcock, throttle, tach, and speedo cables, 1-yr. old Yuasa battery, Throttlemeister cruise control, original & complete tool set with pouch, Clymer repair manual, bike cover, and relatively new Hondaline highway crash bars. The bike is a California-only bike, so zero rust. Mileage may increase slightly since I'm still riding the bike periodically. No disappointments.
