Shouldn't this be in the Craigslist Title: Re: Honda CB 900 Ccustom Post by: LowThudd on October 26, 2009, 06:19:02 PM Actually, it is shaft drive, and kinda 10 speeds. It has a dual range output shaft.

Sorry to offend anyone that owns (and loves) one of those little gems. :D Ass for every seat. Title: Re: Honda CB 900 Ccustom Post by: LowThudd on October 26, 2009, 07:00:09 PM But still have to laugh. 10spd/shaft drive 81 CB 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] Title: Re: Honda CB 900 Ccustom Post by: Desmo Demon on October 27, 2009, 11:25:07 AM But still have to laugh. 10spd/shaft drive 81 CB What about an eight-speed dirtbike?(http://home.ama-cycle.org/membersonly/museum/images/b123/1970husky250gpsmith-r_400.jpg) Here's an interesting write-up - http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/classics/bike.asp?id=123 (http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/classics/bike.asp?id=123) Title: Re: Honda CB 900 Ccustom Post by: kingbaby on October 27, 2009, 12:33:16 PM What about an eight-speed dirtbike? 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). Title: Re: Honda CB 900 Ccustom Post by: CMDRDAVE on October 27, 2009, 02:04:34 PM '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.
