10 speed with over drive? Sounds fuel efficient
I'm also fairly certain the CBs were chain drive
10 spd./shaft drive 81 CB [laugh]
Shouldn't this be in the Craigslist retard gem thread?
Actually, it is shaft drive, and kinda 10 speeds. It has a dual range output shaft.

Then I stand corrected [thumbsup]
But still have to laugh. 10spd/shaft drive 81 CB
Remember, this coming from a guy that buys CB's broken in half at the junk yard.
Sorry to offend anyone that owns (and loves) one of those little gems. :D
Ass for every seat.

Very poorly worded. You'd have a hard time bigrig shifting through all the gears in a row. Not sure if you can even do that. It is a cool bike, but mabey I'm better off with my radian for a first bike.

It would be like speed shifting a Mack truck [laugh]

I can't keep my feet on the pegs that much [laugh]
I come from a family of road, drag & flat trackers (Motos & cars).
I'm like a bad science project. Kinda like droppin' a cat off the roof (not that i've done it).
'82 CB900 custom was my first bike for 2 years. Shared it with my old man. Never really messed with the Hi/Low ranges. we just left it in one. Couldn't really tell a big difference between the two. Or maybe I didn't know what I was doing back then. We bought it for $2k, kept it clean and sold it 3 years later for $2K [thumbsup] Not what I would want to ride now, but was a good bike when we had it.
