I preferred going up vs down the dragon. Did mine on a loaded down 96' Suzuki GSF 600 Bandit. Fantastic fun road to ride and saw numerous motorcycle parts scattered at various points along the side of the road.....LOL.
I own two NC27- MK1- CB1 400 /4's, both built in Japan 1989. - 22.000 CB1's built in total worldwide . Years manufactured 1989-1991. Short production run -MK1- JDM- 1989 =10.000 -MK1- JDM 1990= 8000 and for 1991 the MK2 version = 4000. were built for the North and South America . The bikes differ in that some of the expensive billet for the MK1 versions were replaced with steel footrest hangers, the chrome headlight was black and the stainless steel MK1 ( factory pipe) was replaced by a mild black steel system for the MK2 . The first 500 CB1's built for the Japanese domestic market in 1989 used the NC 23 engine with a different ratio gearbox . The bike when new cost more than the then current CB600F, sales suffered and after only two years production stopped . The rare ones are the first 1989 models made for JDM ...Here in the UK there are only 7 MK1's reg for the road with the remainding 50 being the US spec bike ( MK2)...Amazing bike with gear driven cams , no cam chain , very strong engine with most of the 57 bhp coming in at 10.000 rpm ...They handle well and much like the Yamaha SRX 600/400's are really in vogue again here in Europe - It was Honda's only foray into the Cafe' racer style of bike and quite possibly one of the best machine they have ever made . The engines remained the same during the the years 1989-91 but there was a rumour that those first 500 machines used a more powerful engine !!! The Areo 400 later the Fireblade RR and that could have been the donor engine which was seriously quick . If you look behind where the clutch cable rests on the top of the housing where the clutch casing is you may find the intials NC23E. If the intials are just NC 23 you may have one of those first genration bikes with the 400RR engine , if you have , keep quiet and sell it at auction becauce they worth some serious money ...All my info comes from 'Hamamatsu Honda' in Japan, they have been very helpful with finding out about the history of my bikes ...!! Good video apart from the power ranger up front haha. NB JDM denotes 'Japanese Domestic Market ' only.
Черт, у меня был именно nc23 для внутреннего рынка японии. Бешенный аппарат, часто воблинг ловил. Именно из за резких подрывов разгружалось переднее колесо. В поворотах управляемость эталонная.
Don't know how you found it for only $870. I have a Suzuki GSF400 Bandit 1993, and everyone I meet says they want to buy it running or not, etc. CB1 is so similar and also in demand by those that know what they are. Kawasaki is finally bringing out a 4 cylinder 400 screamer now, but it's expensive. I'd love to put a CB1 next to my Bandit, but wife would likely be upset.... Have fun!
That road looks great and sounds nice as well with that Buell soundtrack ;) Can i ask you how you mounted the phone? I’m looking for a solution for my CB1 and that looks like a nice setup.
Purchased mine at 50k. Well purchasing original parts from japan and the labor of the old honda bigbike mechanic make me cost 180k full of restoration including the cost of the Non Running Bike.
That road looks amazing! Likewise your self control for not passing and leaving your buddy behind 😆
It is by far the best road I've been on. The other roads in the area are just as fun, and even more stunning!

Hi, what are the differences between JDM and non-JDM bikes? I bought a used 89 CB-1 recently so I'm just curious

Why the music?
Why did the Power Ranger keep putting his knee down?
You don't need music 👍
Thanks, it was my first really edited video and I was just trying to cover some of that annoying wind noise buffeting.
@@rbmotorsports6344 Yeah, its not annoying so you're good! Just some feedback and its just my opinion, ignore it if you don't agree 👍

Do they have to know the road to ride so good?
That road looks great and sounds nice as well with that Buell soundtrack ;) Can i ask you how you mounted the phone? I’m looking for a solution for my CB1 and that looks like a nice setup.
I just use a RAM stem mount. Remove the cap that covers the stem, and put the mount in there. It worked really well I think.
Thanks! i figured it might be that one, good to know it is and that you're happy with it. Enjoy the CB-1, cheers!
here in manila ph they cost like $3700 USD

Original parts cost almost the same as sedans. Original Valve cover gasket costs 2500 php.
