1982 Honda CB

I purchased a Brand New Honda CB-650-C in 1981, and it proved to be reliable, and worthy of riding around. I had this bike stolen the very same year and was without a vehicle for some time until I came across in 1992 of a 1982 CB-900-C from a good friend of mine and immediately recognized the features of the Custom like: 4-4 exhaust two tone paint, dual transmission Air assisted shocks Front and Rear The last two was a first for me. My friend decided to sell it to me and, I have had that same motorcycle up until now,since my experience with customs has been with these last two vehicles, I consider them as very quick and designed with a low center of gravity, as well as a dual range tranny which has given me an extra hole where to sink my 6th gear.(or fifth gear)? in any case They are designed as strong and durable (mine just turned 25 years old).And not to be bragging but has more common sense than my son which has the same age. Honda has missed up to this time the opportunity of bringing to the public something like the above mentioned and has "HARLEYSIZED" their bike lineup. I still have the cycle world magazine with the road test of this CB-900, and believe that if given the proper and newer technologies will be very quickly a #1 seller. Try for instance Fuel injection, Aluminum rear swing arm, and of course Shaft drive for the open road. I also know that there are several versions not for sale here in the U.S.Like the
X-4 and CB-1300. Surely a 4 into four exhaust system would be something. I am inclined to think that if presented "Bare Bones" and at a reasonable price, this can very well turn into the cruiser of the future
And very possible will remain like that for many years to come. When something is made to stand out it is to be different, and this is exactly what I see in this motorcycle
and so far I have not been dissapointed.
