Thanks to John Muir for these pictures of his bike. It is a a 1983 Honda CB1000 Custom, imported from USA in ’98. It is listed as DUALrange gearbox, that is glorified for High and low ratio secondary gearbox. A bit like a Landrover with the 2 gear levers. It is effectively 10 speed but you would have a sore ankle if you used it like that. John just selects low for City/town work and heels it into high when above 40 mph. 2 ranges of 5 speed. = 10 speed. These were only made in 1983 for 1 year and for the USA market only. The damn thing weighs 285Kgs! The shaft drive exits out the R/H side because of the extra G/box.

    • How much are you thinking of spending on the bike?

      I have just what you’re looking for, mine is immaculate -25,000 miles – runs and rides like a dream, but as you know this year in fine condition does not come cheap. What kind of money are you able to spend?

    • I have one I’d consider selling / I’d really hate to but I’ve been having some health issues, so the smart thing to do is sell it. It’s black on black, almost perfect condition, mileage-low 20′s a beautiful machine , I’ll miss it “big time” and it needs to be rode. Asking $3000 OBO Steve Davis / Ph 812-825-5682 E-mail sdizador8@gmail.com
