CB1000 "the big one " Info WTD

Hey fellow road warriors. I bought a 1994 CB 1000. I dont know much about this bike. If anyone can pass on some tips or concerns on this bike thanks.

Where in cheeseland are you? I have a 94 as well and can give you some insight. Pm if you want

Pictures, pictures please. The beast must be fed before it speaks.

I love mine...check in at the CB riders thread...

Great machines, under appreciated in my opinion. They get tons of compliments too.

Nice score! I had a '94 as well and it was awesome! It does everything very well. Two up, etc. Not much to it really..just gas and go. Could use a little more power 'cause it's pretty heavy, but it handles great and if you ride it right, you'll spank the best of 'em. Enjoy!

I had a '95. Great bike, only gripe was that it really needed 20-30 more HP. Even with a V&H 4>1 and a rejet, it still wasn't up there with my warmed over V-65 Sabre. Comfy, great handling, good brakes, and Honda reliability. Probably the most refined pure UMJ ever, with the possible exception of the ZRX.

I'm approaching 68,000 trouble free miles on my '94 CB. Absolutely bulletproof in all areas. Not the fastest, or quickest, or best handling, or hardest braking naked/standard available. But the build quality and finish have stood the test of time very well and as mentioned, it's real comfortable.

Looking at this example. Advice appreciated!

I usually don't like big I4s, but this looks like good bang for the buck and I want to take my son pillion/camping etc.

Great bike as confirmed by he collective CB gang here. Not a 6 speed ( 5 speed ) and not a belt drive as stated in ad. You can't go wrong with this machine. I love mine. She is a big girl though if you are short of inseam you may have a bit of a problem

Bike looks decent but my god is that the worst ebay listing I have ever seen. I'm not sure I understand the majority of it.

They really are great machines and the stock seat is quite comfortable. My only gripe is that there really isn't a ton of info out there about them, at least US sites. I have the service manual and it is ok, but a bit lacking.

Iam on the west side along the border with Minnesota. About 30 minutes east of the twin cities.

I have a stock exhaust system for one (it came off my old '94 ),
that someone can have for free...
Just pay for the shipping from Phoenix. (It's kind-a heavy, so shipping won't be cheap)

The exhaust is in very good condition.

If you get one, my BIL has a Corbin in excellent condition that could be had very reasonable.

It was a great bike until the end. (Deer hit).

Good luck!

Thanks I picked up a 93 1000 hurricane rear for 30.00 so I grabbed it. Still looking for the front wheel. Found a corbin from fellow inmate

I cant say thanks enough for the tips. I have been on this site for years best forum and site on the entire Internet ! I had to do some work to get it going. This has to be one of the smoothest bikes I have ever ridden.

I remember the Big One when it came in early 94. Went to the Honda dealer to window shop. It was big and stunning in black. It was a distant memory after seeing a 1994 RC 45 on a platform in the dealer. The big one still has the same attraction it did in 94. Should be a great riding season

Pantara , Lost email with your BIL`s Number for the Corbin seat

Sorry!

It sold to the first person that contacted him.

I'm pretty sure I noticed a front wheel on ebay over the weekend...give that a shot.
