Up for sale is my 1989 Honda Cb-1 This is a good bike I have had it four a few years now. Its needs a few minor repairs nothing engine wise all cosmetic. The speedometer broke on me about two years ago and was fixed so it is marked on the title. Blue LED light are installed on it on the bottom. I will do my best to answer any question for you just ask. The bike is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the action early, But I'll will say I have had no takes in the last month. The description below came from Wikipedia...FYI The Honda CB-1 is a small and light naked sportsbike with a straight four 399 cc engine that delivers 57 horsepower at the crankshaft[2]. (The Honda model code is NC27.) In contrast to all other models of the Honda CB series, the name is written with a hyphen. In some countries it was sold as Honda CB400F as an attempt to connect the model with the original CB400F of 1975, with which it has nothing else in common. The bike was first introduced in 1989 and built until the end of 1990. Originally developed for the Japanese market, the CB-1 was also officially sold in the USA and Canada. In many other countries it was sold as a grey import. The CB-1 engine is similar to the early NC23 models CBR400RR with changes to the port lengths and angles as well as smaller gvalves and lower compression ratio, changes in the primary and secondary gear ratios reduced the 60 mph tall first gear down to around 30 mph making the slighly less powerful CB-1 feel much quicker from a stanstill than its sportier sibling, All engines derived from the NC23 block carry the NC23 ID code in the engine number this includes the NC27 23 29 31 etc. including the VTEC models with chain driven cams. Like many of its stablemates the CB-1 has straight gear driven dual camshafts (with self silencing gears to reduce whine) making this 13.5k rpm machine extremely reliable. The CB-1 also has a six-speed gearbox that although very reliable can become clunky between 1st and 2nd gear if the chain is not tensioned correctly with false neutrals a possibility. This is common in many late 80's early 90's Hondas.[citation needed] The issue is believed to be down to the design of the selector mechanism and the profiles used on the selector ratchet/drum. Many companies sell replacements claimed to eliminate this problem. (Selector parts for the early CBR600F are interchangeable.) The final drive ratio on many export models is 15-37 (this ratio fixes an inherent speedo inaccuracy in the CB-1) with Japanese home market bikes having gearing of 15-41.[3] Japanese models had a built in 112 mph speed limiter so taller gearing was not needed.
