Actually, one of my fav detail of owning a CBX was working on it. The parts were equisit and akin to undressing a sexy woman...peeking under the valve cover at all those valves was one of life's great pleasures. And they respond to a fine valve adjustment and carb tune like no other motorcycle. A correctly tuned CBX at 500 rpm idle is as smooth and quiet as a sewing machine in a padded room.

And some would suggest that indicates a complete lack of character.
