CB1100 first cousin

[GoldOxide_imp]

Ya know, I'm sort of bummed that a CBX didn't show up on our local DGR? Out of almost 300 bikes, especially in this area, you'd think at least one would have shown.

Agreed.

I always assumed in regards to these type of organized gatherings in the greater L.A. area that there would be an endless bounty of classic vehicles given the population density and generally agreeable climate for riding/driving year round. Maybe that assumption is wrong or out-of-date.

 

[Whoops]

Here's a mind-bender for you CBX enthusiasts. This guy I know in N. Dakota has 13 of them. Here's a photo of a row of 10 of his, two others were on display at the local Honda dealer when I took this and he keeps one separate as a rider. The ones toward the wall are the later touring models. Most of them have under 100 miles on them.



Some of his early Goldwings:

Five W650s. First bike partially shown is a 60s W1 650, he has a few of those too.

The row on the right in this picture is all early 4-cyl. Hondas. Half of the row toward the back is all CB750s, every year and every color from 1969 to 1976. The other half of the row of Turbo bikes is CB750s too. He has since acquired a few more sandcast 750s to complete the color chart for the '69s.

Pretty crazy, huh? No need to go to the Honda museum in Japan when this is just down the road from me.

He owns a couple of CB1100s too. One for his museum and one to ride.

PB - You gettin' hot with the CBX itch again?

Hey "GO", I had two (2) of them and sold them both in 2018. One was a '79 and the other is an '82.
It was getting too heavy (top heavy) to ride, so after getting the CB1100 I sold them both and was also getting ready to downsize the house.

When I had them, I spent hours admiring the engine. Just too bad you did not had the chance to ride it before I sold them. :dodgy:

Yikes. No chance to ride the CBX? :-/


^^^ Hmm, give me a ride on that classic Yamaha V-Max - yeah.

The CBX got you into the showroom. The Goldwing is what you rode out on.

Ha. Yes, that is probably true. The CBX was a "Halo Bike" for Honda.

Like the Pantera got you into a Mercury showroom, so you'd buy a Montego wagon.
A GT got you into the Ford showroom, so you'd buy a Taurus.
A Viper got you into a Dodge showroom to buy a Caravan.
