I bought my '94 in June 1993 (US) Still riding it. I enjoyed seeing a video review of a '98 that looks just like my '94.

The CB1000 has monster dominant styling. This bike screams brute force. No sissy fins. When people see it they say "that's a real motorcycle".

@majklknight7455 Год назад

Yea but little weak for 1000

@valensinclair6750 4 года назад

I owned one of these back in the day. It was a fun bike for riding around town, but it was pretty gutless for a 1000. Suspension was soft crap. Odd tire sizes. My gearbox was standard, 1 down 4 up. Someone's reversed the shift linkage on this one. Still fun to ride...just not out on the highway or taking a trip.

I love the design of this bike.

@mickbrownartist3788 4 года назад

It never ‘took off’ because the British motorcycle press buried it in ‘93 this bike is the grandfather of the retro market a special design project initiated by mr Honda himself nicknamed project big one.... as the British bike press were still stuck in the race rep area of the market back then when this thing appeared they stood around and scratched their heads unable to understand its application, this bike has a cult following everywhere else...... except here.... this has driven the second hand prices down which is sad as there are less than 200 of these in the UK ! It is the forerunner of the CB13 and the CB1100 without this bike there would be no GSX or Bandit etc yet it is totally overlooked. Thank you British motorcycle press.....

There is a small cult following in the UK; I wanted one since I saw the moody Honda advert of a black model in Bike mag. Finally managed to find a dog eared but sound 93 UK model a couple of years ago and after much tidying and a few subtle upgrades it is a fantastic bike.

He keeps saying its a plain looking bike but theres beauty in its simplicity....

@lurker-mq4fp 4 года назад

Yep, classic lines and functional 90s Honda engineering - it doesn't get better than that!

@JR-bj3uf 6 лет назад

I actually always wanted one and I love the look of the engine. The only fault I find with mine is the serious lack of sporting rubber in an 18" wheel size. By the way, I fixed mine from a wreck and had it painted a Honda white.

@8888swatt 2 года назад

I've got Dunlop Road Smart 2 on mine which work well.

Этот мотоцикл моя мечта!!! Мотоцикл-это не вид транспорта,а состояние души!!! Удачи вам!

@johnharris7353 9 лет назад

I like it a lot and wish that I had one. A good, basic big. standard retro bike with Honda build quality and reliability...yeah. but I'm driving a '97 Black bird so I'm good.

@Ryzen_56X 7 лет назад

I love all big CB1000SF, CB1100SF Xeleven and CB1300SF, great bikes !!!

@thestar111 9 лет назад

LOL !! The gear shifter is on up side down... Somebody has removed it and re-installed it incorrectly. The part that grips the gear shift teeth needs to be moved 90 degrees.

@pipoliveira 9 лет назад

+thestar111 True! Never heard of a bike with the shifter upside down... That shows how "expert" this guy is... And gives reviews... Right!

@thestar111 7 лет назад

Hmm I'm back looking at this review again, guess I want a CB1000. This guy knows his bikes and the only reason I know the gear shift is on wrong is because I put one on wrong and found out the shirt turned 1 up 5 down

@Starstreak170 7 лет назад

GP shift pattern used in racing

@0101Karsten 6 лет назад

NO its build that way

@BN1960 5 лет назад

No they're not. I have one of these and that gear-shifter is installed incorrectly - it needs moving 180dg.

@laurenceharvey6202 9 лет назад

Have one of these bikes myself and love it .White and red colours. The gear change is the same as all other bikes - 1 down , , 4/5 up ( some muppet must have fitted the gear change mech the wrong way lol )

@Mr.M1STER 3 года назад

I love the way it looks.

@gimmieliberty6514 Год назад

1.57 gear iinkage, doesnt look incorrect but could be upside down leading to "one up ,four down"

@doolittlegeorge 10 месяцев назад

Underpowered and top heavy absolute joy to ride and lasts forever definitely one of Honda's "best ever" going very much against the Brand as well. Agree never once tempted to go over 100mph on this one but cruises very well at 80mph and can do all the work yourself with everything right where it should be and easy to get at. CB1100x "Balckbird" is the only attempt Honda made at making a true "retail super bike" i imagine to compete with Suzuki Hayabusa and definitely would take the Honda a Hayabusa every time. This one i imagine trying to one up Kawasaki which i agree "underpowered" especially compared to that...has a better look book than an 1100 Kawasaki but don't know why that is other than definitely *"is."*

Beautiful bike!!!

@EndofUSA 10 лет назад

was there a 98 model of this bike? From what I know this model only came in either 94 and 95!!!

@pipoliveira 9 лет назад

EndofUSA this bikes were made from 93 till 97

@EndofUSA 9 лет назад

Filipe Oliveira thanks for the information.

@leoburgess6678 5 лет назад

For USA, we only had it for two years (94/95).

@Clonewars56 2 года назад

I thought you'd be talking about a Duckati instead

@joelromanmendoza5618 2 года назад

Beatiful bike

@leonoff89 3 года назад

but no fuel gauge

@Moistmuscle 10 лет назад

why reverse gear shift? it makes no sense. may as well twist forward on throttle instead of back. There is no good reason for being counter-intuitive to muscle memory.

@buca9696 10 лет назад

Cuz MotoGP.

@crashlikethunder1315 8 лет назад

+Moistmuscle It's not supposed to be. The shifter has been fitted upside down on the spline.

@dannybruff 4 года назад

Look at other pics on the net, its is upside down.

@AndieBlack13 7 лет назад

At 0:40 & 3:22 we see someone has fitted those stainless braided brake lines...but failed as they have way too much slack, and/or the fittings off the master have the wrong angle...but at 0:40 we see the brake lines sticking out past the headlight...fail.
