Here was mine. Big, fast, torquey and fun to ride. Gave it to my son when I bought a V65 Sabre.

BTW the Vance and Hines for into 1 made a lot of "tone" drove me crazy on long rides. Which is why it was my last aftermarket pipe.

I know - weird, isn't it?
I was really tempted to put an aftermarket exhaust on mine, but since much of my riding was a 70 mile round trip into the office in L.A., I figured it wasn't the best decision!
Massively comfortable, torquey-powerful bike. Made a great mile-eater, though I often wished for some kind of wind protection on the open road. This was actually the bike I was trying to re-live when I got the CB1100.

Hahaha - yeah, when telling people about my bike back then, I often heard, "Oh, is that that bike with the big-a** headlight?".
I always called mine "champagne" colored. Still love that color, and the way that shiny paint complemented the black on the bike.

I think mine was an '83 also...or was it '82...?
