This is your bike, it's very good.

I keep seeing bits and parts of it in posts, but this is the first full view.

Very nice Mark, I like the red on red, or is it Burgandy on burgandy? The lighter hue on the sidecovers breaks it all up perfectly.

To add to the katana,
here was the competition at the time…red frame wasn’t just used by Ducati, I think painting a frame red had some thing to do with it going faster….:huh:
Correct me if I’m wrong I believe you guys didn’t get the full range of CB’s as we did in Australia….

Anyway, the CB had an Aluminium tank, carbon fibre fairing, larger cams & valves, lightened clutch gear etc… back then it was a major big deal and you know…even now that stuff is on a modern bike, some 30 years later.

Worked with a guy in 1987 that had one with 5000ks on it and at the time the GSXR had just been released which I think coincided with the time my erectile dysfunction was cured… sorry guys the GPZ just didn’t cut it at the time not until they released the ZX range…..

Was a great time for sport bike enthusiasts…

I always have a hard time understanding why some of the nicest bikes never got imported to the States.

I remember reading about the CB, and wishing it was here, have not seen anything on it until this photo since then.

Nice.
