That's interesting. I read a story in one of the bike mags a year or so ago about a brand-new, never started CBX. This one had been part of a campaign Honda did with public High Schools. They gave selected school's shop classes a new CBX to use as a learning tool. The bike in the story had been pushed to the back of a storeroom where it sat for decades. One day the school was cleaning up and listed the bike for sale. A guy snagged it, and when he realized what he had, re-sold it for a tidy profit. That bike remains un-started and is displayed regularly at shows.
