Honda used the basic engine from the DOHC CB750/900 series which was chain driven on the left and mated it to the shaft drive of a Goldwing which was on the right, hence the transfer box. As far as handling they were a cruiser with pull back handlebars so no one pushed them in the handling department. I was working at a Honda dealership when they came out. No one I knew used them as a 10 speed. They either used them as a 5 speed in town, or clicked the transfer shifter (to answer curlyjoe's question..yes it was a chrome shifter on the transfer case) and used them as a 5 speed on the highway.
Very attractive bike considered by most in a two tone blue or maroon with lots of chrome and white raised letter tires.
