Honda oil coolers were so tiny in the early 1980s.

Did the CBX not have an oil cooler, I can't see one or is it buried in the shadows? Good move if so, giving an unobstructed view of those six pipes.
It has a thin black oil cooler on top of the engine.
Because it's black, it's really hard to see in the photos, but in the X-ray picture it's item G

Well spotted, I missed that

Yes, I think that is what fooled me into thinking it didn't have one.

Indeed very nice, Beto, thank you for posting.
Where did you find the brochure, in your closet or online ?
Very nice indeed, Beto, thanks for posting.

If I could find a well maintained CBX like this, I'd buy it just for the heck of it ... keep riding the CB1100, and admire that beast in my garage.

I had this original Honda advertisement, but on moving house, I must have missed it.
These photos are on my computer in electronic files, with a little more quality, but this portal does not accept files with more than 250 MB, so I had to lower the quality to post

The ad said: "An unexpected joy to maneuver in tight city traffic, and nothing less than a phenomenon out on the open road. The Honda CBX is here ... to stay."
Well ... for 5 years anyway. The CB1100 (SC65) has had a reasonable run at 12 or 13 years.

I wonder how demo rides panned out back in the day of the CBX?
That is, would-be owners trying to find the "unexpected joy" at low speed.

A wee bit better for you Gin60? I grabbed this one today from an actual CBX ...
