"...the motor is stock with 42,000 miles, it runs great, and is comfortable with an after market touring seat. Every time I ride into and browse around at any kind of motorcycle dealer, I draw curious lookers. People are always interested in the dual range tranny. Honda built a great bike in 1983."
This was a Southern California bike that I bought from the second owner in 1996. The picture here was taken at a turnout off California Highway 79 just south of Julian in San Diego County. We're now in Bucks County, PA, north of Philadelphia. I've got a complete shop manual so if you need some mechanical info looked up, drop me a line.

This bike is a 1981 CB750c with about 58,000 miles. I have
replaced the seat with an old one off ebay that is more comfortable. I
need to come up with some sort of pillion pad that my wife can deal with now.
I still have the hard luggage that came with the bike and I have a tankbag as
well. For longer trips, I have a windshield that attaches fairly easily.
My preference with this bike is to make it as much as possible a bike that can
pull dual duties as both an around-town commuter/cruiser and as a touring bike.
It's been a great bike, despite burning a little oil, perhaps from some bad
rings on cylinder #3. I have found a pair of original chrome fork ears and
a fork stabilizer that will go on soon. I also have a detachable backrest
which I should be able to put on when my wife wants to ride or when I have gear
to strap to it. It also needs a new paintjob and is due for a valve
adjustment.
If anyone reading this is an AMA member, I have a short article about a trip I
took on this bike coming out in the January 2002 issue of American Motorcyclist
in the "Dispatches" section.

"Here are some pictures of my 1982 CB900C. I actually traded a camper that I had restored for this bike. Although the bike didn't look like this when I got it. I just finished doing a ring and valve job on my baby. I have put a lot of work into this bike. Now that this bike is done being restored I have started work on a 1974 CB550K. I've got a long way to go on the 550. I also have a 1982 CT110 that I have restored but I have no pictures of it."

"...I've owned it for about 8 years. It was originally imported from Canada & cost me £ 1800 GBP. With some changes to the front & rear suspension it now handles very well & also I have put on a do it your self ram air kit (not on these photos) which gives it a bit of a boost from 65mph onwards plus a 17" rear wheel from a gold wing giving me taller gearing. These few tweaks give a lot of newer bikes a surprise or two, check out the tyres they work well too."

Lyle has the distinct honor of being one of two owners of a CB1000C Trike on our directory. Way to go Lyle!

Since new has a total of 7000 KM's on it. Drove it exactly 35 KM's last summer. I have Parkinson disease and may sell it. But no way am I giving it away or even selling it to the wrong person This bike is built in the USA (for those that didn't know) but was intended for sale outside the USA. It is written into the mufflers the words ( FOR EXPORT ONLY ) The bike doesn't have the US EPA parts, that a USA bike has. I believe it is lighter with more power than a US model. Side by side with a US model mine is much loader. I just installed a new tire on the back last summer and a new gas tank. The old tank was rusty inside from sitting around for so many years. the new tank came all painted ready to install. The bike is perfect in everyway. the crash bar that is on it has a small scratch on it, it was on my CB900 when it crashed. I also have the Honda shop manual with it and the original bill of sale. the warranty papers with the plastic warranty card are all here. The new tank is missing the warning label, to always wear a helmet, the stickers came with the tank but it looked a lot cleaner without them. I also have the old tank if someone has an interest, it can be easily cleaned. It still looks new.
