Honda CBX

MAGNIFICENT *****
WHERE ARE ALL THESE BIKES JOHN??????????

P.S. The white one is my fav.

This couple turned up, two up, for the Dublin Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride (DGR) 2018 on their white 1982 CBX. It was in lovely condition and sounded fantastic. I think the panniers were original Honda (but not 100% sure). I was taken by it and had to take a few snaps.

Nice specimen Tev. Thanks for sharing that.

Here is a nice CBX specimen.

Cormanus: This might be familiar to you.

The 1984 Honda CBX750F ...



Notice that many parts are taken from the '84 Honda Nighthawk 750.

Beautiful bike GO... I’d have a hard time walking away from that if it was for sale locally.

Apparently this rare beast, although not the iconic inline-6, is I think (?) located in northern Ontario. These were never imported into North American markets.

Au₂O₃, familiar to me? I can’t think why.

Ah, okay, apparently they were sold in Australia. No other reason.

Sometime in about 1982, I bought a dark red CBX fairing from the Honda dealer in Lompoc, CA, and installed it on my '81 Suzuki GS1100. A friend welded up some great brackets for me and I had the only "Honda-Uki" around. Great fairing and it was still on it when I sold it in Tacoma, WA, in 2008. The CBX were beautiful bikes. I should have taken pictures of it, but don't think I have any.

Mr Houtman will explain all ...

I'm late to the party, that is just an incredible sight !
Had 5 of them at one time ? Gets the award for 'the highest cylinder count in a garage'

 

[Cormanus]

Five?

 

[furious_blue_imp]

Five?

Ah yes, Herr Houtman sayeth:

"These pictures are when we lived in Endwell Upstate NY. I had 5 CBX's but one 1979 had only 365 miles on it and I did not put it on the road."

 

[Cormanus]

Ah. My mum used to say I should try harder to read the story and not just look at the pictures.

30 cylinders and 30 pistons and 120 valves in the garage, all ready to run, it must've been glorious !

 

[Cormanus]

Indeed. And the exhaust music when the were all running ...

FYI - There is a white and blue '82 CBX with fairing and bags and only 3796 miles on the clock for sale on the Phoenix, Arizona, USA, Craigslist for any collectors in the crowd with $16,000. I am not trying to sell or help sell this bike, just passing on information some of you might want.
