Honda CBX description

One of a kind custom CBX. This bike was built for me several years ago by TIM's CBX. Polished single sided swing-arm from Honda Hawk GT, Ohlin's shock, Honda VFR forks with Race Tech Gold Valves and springs, Custom Honda VTR yellow paint. Silver powder coated frame. The motor is a 1981 school bike motor with just over 1000miles precision re-built by Preston Marks - big bore, ported polished head, Falicon knife rods, '79 cams, CR race carbs and Earls oil cooler. All covers chromed or polished. Lots of other details like Harley bullet signal lights, Fat superbike bar and lots of upgrade parts from TIM's catalog like ignition/starter/alternator.


Also selling with the bike as a package as is another complete 1981 zero mile "school bike" motor plus a perfect NOS fuel tank with cap and badges, an NOS rear cowl from 1980 and an NOS seat, all like new. I don't want to part with the extras separately as if I don't sell the bike, would keep the parts.

This was a very expensive build and with the extra motor and NOS parts, quite the deal for a CBX fan.
(for those wondering about the serial number, it is an "Alberta Assigned VIN" for Alberta, Canada as the original VIN tag was removed during built and powder coat and was only stuck back on, not glued and came off on a ride. This is a service offered in several provinces and is quite the process as all the paperwork has to be in order which it was and is.)

MotoGP should return to Suzuka

Thu, 14 Jul 2011

Suzuka was always one of the great circuits; unfortunately the Japanese track was dropped following the tragic death of Daijiro Kato in 2003 as the course was deemed too tight and dangerous for the rapid four-strokes. Owned by Honda, Suzuka is a magical place combining arching S-bends from the start of the lap, high-speed in the middle and finished off with the technical and oft racing deciding final chicane, the location of many fantastic last lap battles. However the death of Kato, and Honda’s major hope of a Japanese champion, placed a dark cloud over the 5.807 kilometres of tarmac.

Blind car drivers? It's your fault. Really, it is

Thu, 23 Sep 2010

Be seen, you Making car drivers see you is an art form that you learn from experience and narrow scrapes. It’s a fact of riding a bike that you’re harder to see than a double decker bus, it’s obvious isn’t it? You're small, fast and mostly, totally obscured by the average A-pillar.

Another Cruiser?

Sun, 09 Nov 2008

In a county gone mad with cruisers, from outrageous T.V. customs to 250cc Honda Rebels, the cruiser is the largest segment of the American motorcycle market. Interesting then, that despite a seeming glut in the cruiser supply, and receding sales figures from major OEMs in the past year, that new cruiser models keep coming.
