Phoneman1981 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 My first serious road bike was identical to yours. Same color and luggage. Welcome to the site.
10spd Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 this bike was my dads I got it when he passed away 11 years ago. I had a 1981 version of this same bike.
djh3 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Wife and I looked pretty seriously at those back in the day. Had a 650 KZ at the time.
10spd Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 my favorite thing is the dual range transmission. works very well.
JohnT Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 My buddy Tim had a CB1000 Custom. Very nice bike. Once I sold him my 84 VR he put the Honda up for sale. I'm not sure I would have done that. If the bike hadn't gotten so high a price I may very well have bought it.
Evan Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Wife and I looked pretty seriously at those back in the day. Had a 650 KZ at the time. Me too. Put bags and Vetter fairing on the 650 KZ and toured with it for years with my dad who had the CB 1000. Tried an Interstate for a while but liked the KZ much better so I sold the Interstate. My dad who is now 88 still talks about his bike.
Phoneman1981 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 My wife and I were married in 1981. We purchased a new Honda CB900 custom. Now that I look at your picture again. I believe my bike was a darker shade of blue. I think our was a 1981 model. I loved the dual range transmission also. Made a long trip to my sisters in Kennewick WA pulling a car top trailer.
