Nice!

It looks like it borrowed some design elements from the Norton Commando, but didn't the Commando come out much later? :blink:

Other than that, I see some BMW influence in the body work. I could be dreaming too. :S

Hi Patton,

Very Nice. Probably one of the most collectible Hondas I know of. Have you had it since it was new?

Would you answer some questions about the plumbing? Do I see air injection stuff on the left and oil lines on the right? Is there a remote oil tank or a cooler?

Thanks

Very Nice.

KZCSI


Thanks, KZCSI! :cheer:

It's a 1990 model which I purchased used in 1992.

Has remote oil tank with oil lines on right side, and no oil cooler.

Many owners remove the "unsightly" Air Injection system on left side, and install readily available block off kits.

Good Luck! :)

That's a gorgeous bike. It's hard to believe it was made in the 90's with that styling!

My brother has a GB and loves it, great looking bike. He's always been a Honda guy. For me, the 1979 CBX was the only Honda that I ever lusted after.

that is sweet, i am thinking a twin would be awesome, i have been keeping my eyes open, something about them seems more sleek. more fuel economy, less intimidating(i would know, i parked next to a kz1300 at the local college, not a laughing matter), more torque less horsepower, and did i mention if you put highway bars on it you won't be so close to burning your calves.
