I was reading some spec information and comparing the different years. I noticed the dry weight of an 82 is about 11 pounds more than an 81. Is that true? I thought the only difference is color and trim accents.
Thank You

Specs are always funny. There are so many things that do not make sense. Sometimes specs are written early, before the bike is actually in production and changes that occur are never corrected. The only difference I can think of is, that the weight of the '81 did not includde the saddlebags. Are the specs you have both based on U.S. versions?

There may be a pound or two in the passenger grab rail and related hardware on the '82

It's an Australian club, here is the link to the page. The weight difference is toward the bottom of the page. http://www.cbx6.com.au/specs.htm. Is there a difference in the hardware 81 vs 82?
Thank You

In many markets outside the U.S., Honda offered the saddlebags as an option on the Prolink when they first came out on the '81 model. It could be they included them on the '82 in some markets later. The rear grabrail including the brackets on the '82 would not account for 11 pounds.
