I always wanted a CBX
«

and now I got me one.
Six cylinders, six carbs, and 24 valves. 1047 cc. 11,100 miles. Fresh OEM pipes. The aftermarket pimpy tour seat's gotta go but it is pretty comfy. It's a beast to muscle around the garage (600 lbs wet) but under power, it's very smooth and well behaved.
An FJR would out perform it now but, in 1979, it was the coolest production superbike. 103 hp, 0-60 in about 4 sec and 1/4 mile in about 11 sec at 117 mph topping out around 140 mph. It's the first bike I've ridden since a bad wreck (totaling my Monster) almost three years ago so I won't be testing those performance stats anytime soon.
For now, it's just a fun resto project.
Barn fresh.

It would be interesting to run it with your KZ 1000.

Awesome!!! I had a friend who had one new and his looked just like that... minus the seat.
He always wanted to put a pipe on it but never did. I've heard them with an aftermarket exhaust and the sound is pretty damn sweet!
Congrats on the nice score. Enjoy it. [moto]

I've wanted one of these for so long; I want a red 1979 model.
Saw one at the Rock Store a month or so ago. I heard it coming from about a mile or so out and knew exactly what it was. What a beautiful noise from a beautiful machine.
Oh, and I hate you now.

Do something about the front brakes, I've ridden one and they're underwhelming.
edit: Brakes are underwhelming, bike is pretty cool.

Forget that. This is what every CBX should sound like.

Weird-I've never had a CBX or been to Hallett. You sure it was my bike?
