FS: 1989 Honda CB-1 in Dallas

Here's your chance to grab a great example of one of Honda's rare cult
bikes. If you're familiar with the Hawk GT, GB500 and CB-1, you know what a
fun bike these are. Great first bike due to the light weight and relatively
low seat height, tons of fun for more experienced riders as well. Ahead of
it's time styling looks similar to a newer Ducati Monster, but at a fraction
of the price.

I finished my CB-1 up back in December of 2003 and have maybe put 50 miles
on her since then. Needless to say, scooter time is at a premium and my Hawk
GT and NSR250 projects are taking up what little time I have. About all she
gets is a trip around the block once a month or so, which isn't right.

The previous owner is a buddy of mine and he had her for several years. It
was quite a pain for him to sell, but family obligations are a strong
motivator. I had always wanted a CB-1, and jumped at the chance. Never
thought I'd sell, but it pains me to see such a great bike sit. So, with a
heavy heart I feel it only right to pass her on to someone else to enjoy...

Hard to set a price for a collectable bike like this, but I'd like to see
around $2500.

Thanks for your time...

Looks awfully good, and to think it is
16 years of age. I don't remember it, but at that time, I was out of
motorcycle contact, I was into camping, and stuff.
