OVERVIEW
In 1983 Honda continued with the upscale Aspencade
"The Aspencade is the ultimate in touring motorcycles
At its heart is a proven flat-four engine
Special features include an on-board suspension adjustment system, standard Type II Honda stereo radio, and brand new LCD digital instrumentation
Quite simply, there is no other choice for the long-distance rider"
"Combination LCD-digital instrument panel and keyboard
Instrument panel contains LCD read-outs for speed (with mph/kph converter), engine-rpm, trip, gear position, fuel and engine temperature
Also, there are warning lights for high beam, neutral, oil, and air suspension status
The keyboard is the control center for the Aspencade's on-board air suspension leveling system, as well as a trip-monitor system
TRACTM torque-sensing anti-dive control units with four-position stiffness adjusters fitted to both fork legs."
"Interconnected braking system
The rider's right foot controls one front disc and the rear disc, while the right handlebar lever controls the other front disc
Less of the rider's attention is required for most normal braking manoeuvers
The fork brace stabilizes front fork action
Redesigned engine guard gives more foot clearance and allows easier fitting of highway pegs
Three-position adjustable passenger foot pegs move through a range of 60 mm
Larger, flat-section foot pegs increase comfort."
"Internal gear ratio changes lower engine speed at highway speeds, especially in overdrive."
"Travel trunk moved rearward 30 mm for more passenger comfort, and taller backrest fitted
New shape two-tone seat has improved comfort with dual density foam
Cover material upgraded with new, soft-feeling cover."
