1991 Honda CB-1 Type 2 RARE Japanese Market PLATED! Street legal 1991 JDM Honda NC27 in beautiful low mileage unmolested original condition !!!! The CB-1 is one of those wonderful Honda's from the late 80's and early 90's, everything about these bikes is classic Honda. An engine that is a work of art, beautiful fit, finish, quality and typical Honda reliability. I own a U.S. Spec 89 model, which I am keeping as it has a number of mods. The Type2 (or MKII) CB-1 was only sold in Japan, it has some slight differences from the early U.S. model which was pulled from the market here after only two years. The 1991 model has a slightly larger tank, a full stainless exhaust system, different rear shock, higher bars, taller gear ratio and other small things, like the cool tinted indicator lenses, Km speedo etc etc. And of course, the very cool black engine and dark grey/silver frame and accents. The fact that clean lower mile well preserved examples of the Hawk 650, GB500 and CB-1 command the same as new prices or more is testament to how much Honda had it right when they were producing these bikes. The CB-1 is special in its simplicity and do it all nature. The CBR400 derived engine makes wonderful gear driven cam music and provides just the right amount of usable power on the street. The engine is the focal point of the bike but the handling and braking are just as superb. The later CB400 super fours are abundant in Japan but the CB-1 is quite rare due to its overall short production run. I looked for a long time to find a clean stock low Km example. This bike is a true survivor and was stored inside and has avoided most of the harsh Japanese conditions that render many of the older classic bikes with corrosion. If you are looking for a nice CB-1 you will be hard pressed to find a nicer one, and you will probably never see another JDM type 2, I have never seen or heard of another one in the states. Legally imported in accordance with DOT and EPA it has a clean and clear Arizona title with plate and new 2017 tags. It has an 11 digit Japanese VIN so California reg may be troublesome, but everywhere else will be fine. I just recently did full service on the bike, full carb clean and sync, fresh oil and filter, fresh 50/50 coolant (and flush) fresh Synthetic DOT 4 brake fluid front and rear. (All this was less than 50 miles ago). Battery and spark plugs are a bit older but still pretty new. Tires are not original, good tread but older. I would advise going with fresh rubber before any spirited riding. The bike starts and runs beautifully, it turns over and fires instantly when warm and the same when cold on the choke. The carburation is excellent with smooth linear power from down low to the 13,500 RPM redline. The bike truly runs wonderfully. Everything works, all lights, signals, warning lamps . The bike is 100% stock, exhaust, rear fender etc etc. Bike has just over 7000 original miles. Please have a close look at the photos, I will also add a short video of the bike starting and running. There are some small areas of corrosion on the valve cover, and around other metal bits, some are minor enough they started to clean up as soon as I worked on them with some cleaner. The bike has been in my shop for awhile and while covered etc, its still could use a pretty good detail. There is one small scratch on the top rear of the tail cowl and a small discoloration spot on the right side of the tail cowl. And those stickers....I didn't have the heart to remove them...I will let the new owner decide on that...but being a bit of a Japanophile and lover of all things *Engrish* I left them in place...and I assume they are early 90s period correct. Check the battely :) Please have a close look at all the pictures and let me know if you need more of a certain part of the bike or if I overlooked anything ask any and all questions. Bike is located in so cal desert near palm springs, I can also have it at my place in Phoenix. If you are local, test ride is encouraged with M1, proper gear and asking cash price. Happy to work with your shipper, u-ship etc to get the bike anywhere it needs to go to a nice safe new home. Please check out my other auctions!! UPDATE 14 Jan. I added Youtube video of bike starting and running and short walk around. I also noticed the right fork seal is starting to weep fluid. I have ordered new oem Honda set of fork seals L /R and will replace with fresh fluid before bike sells, if I do not have time to finish before its sold I will send parts with the new owner!!
