Bob,
Hmmm. . .just noticed. The handgrips are also incorrect. I believe the ones you have may have come stock on the later CB/CL series. Not a big deal, but if you check around you can probably find the correct ones. IMO this is one of the prettiest bikes Honda ever made. Thanks for posting.
Looks to me like this is actually a 1967 model. I have both ’65 and ’67. The earlier model has a curved intake manifold and the carb mounts slightly off-center. Also, the rear shocks are on backwards.
A little over-the-top on the bench-grinder polishing, but that’s typical. Hard to resist polishing until aluminum looks like chrome, but I’ve found it’s best to stop with the coarse black compound and leave a satin finish. These bikes never looked that good even new. Otherwise, lovely bike!
@fluxstringer those badges came like that originally on that model, do your home work he obviously did…..
Yeah, he has ‘em both on backwards ! Not just two left handers like I thought might be the case. Cheez ! I wonder if he did it just to see if anyone would notice. Honda lovers sure would. Someone keep him away from the Super Hawks ! !
I used to assemble these out of the crate and test ride them. In the Winter we used to race them inside the shop ! fun to ride is an understatement.
Maybe he only has two left handers ? I’ll have to look.
thanx to that old honda man i got me an s90 and 9st90
now i want a dream
and an elsinor
thanx clymer the manual rocks!
looks like ill be picking up a s90 this friday!! woot
ha, yeah, they are on backwards!
Beautiful restoration, but it looks like he has the badges on backwards.
This guy leaves a lot of things out like changing the exhaust and shaving the weight makes this thing the highest power to weight ratio in the world for any vehicle! The breaks are the smallest most powerful in the business, the slipper clutch is the standard and so is the electric dampener. In 08 the Honda set the world record for 0-60 and 1/4 times for production bikes. I have been riding for 22 years and I do so professionally. The Honda is the all around standard now!
i love mine, its does great at Borrego Springs. i threw some 55′s on it and it leaned over like a champ.
which is the fastest in order from fastest to slowest (cbr 1000rr) (r1) (gsxr1000) or (zx10r)?
Do these really handle relatively like a 600? I’ve heard that alot and didn’t believe it, I’ve ridden an ’04 R1, 05 Gixxer 1K, and 07 1000RR and none of those felt anything like a 600, well the R1 felt the smallest and lightest. But after hearing these weigh under 440lbs, it’s believable since the 2004 model 600′s weighed about the same. I’d love to ride one of these, but no one around here has one.
“Make here out of some riders,” + dude looking all tough = ROFL
nope, and i never will
aparently you have never tried
Best 1000cc sport bike out. I like this one and the r1. The only thing I like better about the r1 is the exhaust note
duuude
my balls are too big for a crotch rocket lol
they need to make the front headlight fairing look prettier. its kinda ugly
teenagers ride dirtbikes, when you grow up you ride a crotch rocket
lol
real men keep their opinions to themselves
last time i checked, that bike wont do 20 mph on the dirt lol
to each there own
@janitorpants last time i checked, dirtbikes don’t go any faster than 90mph
real men ride dirtbikes
what is a good website to order after market parts from? need fender eliminator and few other things. thanx

yeah, its to late now. before was 1000 rebate then 2000 then again 2500 who knew. I got the 1000 rebate. oh well. At least Im going to deduct the taxes that was included with the sale price. Obama pushed that law for new cars and motorcycles.
