I had a 400 that looked very similar, sold it for £600 to someone from the TRCweeksy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 5:22 pmGranted, bit seemed an appropriate place to throw it on here, I think it looks ace!Yorick wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 5:19 pmIt's missing a couple of cylindersweeksy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 5:12 pm https://pbmagforum.co.uk/topic/76481-honda-cb1000-1995/
I quite easily could !!!
Honda CB1000 SF Big One
Rare bike, not often seen.
CB1300 forks, Renthal bars
VTR wheels to wear proper sized tyres
Nissin 4 pot brakes, braided lines
Ported head, adjustable cam sprockets
Two Brothers full race exhaust
Shorter gearing
Built to ride and it rides really well, lots of fun in town or on the back roads.
Will happily cruise on motorway.
Clocks have been changed due to a low speed crash.
Have another good tank, carbs, engine gasket set, new braided lines, original clocks and lots more.
£1850
Collection from Colne PE28.

My mate bought a CB1000 Big One.
Had it painted, put some Technoflex/Wilbers shocks on it, then decided it needed a Blackbird engine.
He got the engine, had the frame done, then decided to move to Germany and be poor, so sold it before it was finished.
IIRC the forks were the same castings at the RC30, so you could fit RC30 internals quite easily, dunno why they bothered fitting CB1300 forks to that one.

For some reason CBX 6's do absolutely nothing for me and that one is no different.
The zorsts look like some spanner had a photosho attack and kept cloning one area.
I guess I'm just not all misty eyed about many Hondas.
