The 83 1000C is an awesome beast of a bike for sure! Just be aware that it was only made for one year. So model specific parts can be difficult to find. I'm not trying to scare you away from it. Just make sure that it's complete when you're looking at it. |

Thanks guys, The bike is really complete, 22,000 miles, only issue is a dent on tank just on the front of it near handlebar.
Is that the only year the engine was a 1000? |

Yeah, 1983 was the only year they were produced which makes parts harder to come by compared to the 900 and 750 as was mentioned. |
