Original eBay listing:

  • This bike appears to only need a little work to get into running condition.
  • The gas tank needs to be painted or replace and there is some rust on the exhaust pipes.
  • The chromeand engine has some minor surface rust on it and could easily be cleaned up.
  • The right rear rurn signal is missing and the front left turn signal is broken.

  • There is no key and the ignition is missing
  • Please inspect the pictures carefully
  • This was purchased at a local auction
  • I don't know the history of the bike but I did have the VIN run by the local police and I was told the it has a bank lien on the title.

HONDA 1983 CB1000C LI

Planned on fixing this bike up, but alas was not to be. When I picked it up, it had been outside too long, too much surface rust. Started right up and drive it onto the trailer.

Some parts still available from this bike, I used the engine on one of my own CB1000Cs.

This is what I know about this bike. New tires and runs well.

Original eBay listing:
large bike, good running condition, good clutch, limited model, not for the weak!! Overall condition is very good, needs rotors and calipers, nothing more!! Comes with two helmets for you and the lady!!! Just not to mislead anyone, i said the bike needs calipers and rotors, the calipers and rotors are not on the bike, THEY ARE NOT ON THE BIKE!!, the seat has NO RIPS, both side covers are gone ( flew off while driving) very strong running engine, good clutch, if the rotors and calipers where on you could drive it away with no worries at all, THAT IS A PROMISE!

 

 

 

HONDA 1983 CB1000C NY

This is what I know about this bike.

When I picked it up, it had been very abused and obviously outside too long, much surface rust. Has a brown tank and seat that I had removed before transporting it. Starter worked once I charged the battery, turns over freely. Hooked up a funnel and fed it gas and it started right up. The smoke from the right side was minimal, that from the left drove all bugs from the yard. Guess that doesn't count as "suspicious noise" :- (
Engine is toast, except for parts. 24K on speedometer.

Some parts still available from this bike.

Original eBay listing:
This is a USED Honda CB 1000 C Custom 10-speed motorcycle. The bike starts, we put new intake manifolds on it, cleaned carburetors. The bike is very rusty, the brakes needs to be rebuilt, also missing few body parts. I have no title for it it comes with bill of sale. Or I can put mechanics lien on it what will take about 3 month at least to get the title.The bike is NOT rideable in the current condition. It will be a nice project bike. Engine sound good. No suspicious noise.

 

HONDA 1983 CB1000C DF

Planned on fixing this bike up with parts from the others listed here. Then selling it to a friend, but alas was not to be. It started right up and I drove it, but there was a lot of engine clatter at low end. When I got it home, it spewed oil all over the floor so I shot it. 44K.

Some parts still available from this bike.

This is what I know about this bike. Brand new tires, turn signals and some other parts.

HONDA 1983 CB1000C PH

Got this bike off eBay ONLY because it was 4 miles off my communte to work, but I am really glad I did. LOTS of really nice parts, including a heart transplant (engine) for one of my bikes.

Some parts still available from this bike.

This is what I know about this bike. 6,900 miles on the clock and everything I see on the bike supports that odometer reading. Brakes and rotors are like brand new. Electrics are also great. Good tires and rims.
