CBX 6 cylinder on BAT

[4 Paws_imp]

Was just looking at live auctions on “Bring A Trailer” for the fun of it and saw this, a CBX 6 cylinder with a realistic price.

No Reserve: 1979 Honda CBX Project

If anybody here buys it I want to see it in person! Remember them from “back in the day”, sounded amazing.

Sweet 4 Paws.

Before the link goes away, I placed a teaser here for members to remember what they missed ...

This bike will make big money , $ 10.000 or more I think.

Honda's most gorgeous bike and the best sounding production motorcycle ever.

Gee. I don’t know, redbirds. I reckon both the original CB500 Four and the 2014 CB1100 DLX/EX give it a run for its money on looks. There’s something slightly overwhelming about the CBX’s engine.

I still find it amazing the CBX has a natural air-cool lump.

They put a slightly larger oil cooler on the 1980 model compared with the 1979 one.

I believe there is some competition for "best sounding." I've only heard the CBX on video (Jay Leno's). Sweet sound, especially approaching redline. I've heard (and ridden) a first generation Valk with 6 into 6 pipes. it sounded like a Chevy small block. Me likey. A lot. Not a fan of the the engine heat, though.
