Honda CBX description

1979 Full Power Honda CBX 6 cylinder

 

Totally original bike with no issues.  Very early serial # (605) which was delivered with the smooth cylinder studs.  This bike is a very well kept example, has been cleaned and recommissioned to be ridden and or shown as desired.  Correct seat, exhaust, shocks, turnsignals etc. Bike has been fitted with the desirable 'sports handling kit' please check out the pictures.  I thought about changing the studs as this was a factory recall by Honda, but decided to leave the original ones in as it is part of this bike's history.  Replacing the studs can be done with the engine in place, and a complete set of updated studs will go with the bike, as does a manual, tool kit as delivered from the factory.  If the bike is to be displayed or shown, the smooth studs are a talking point.

 

I can assist with shipping the bike overseas.  Have shipped bikes to Australia, Denmark, Norway, South America and the UK.  Please make sure you have your shipping details sorted before bidding, as asking me to arrange everything after you have bought the bike is NOT really the way to do these transactions, especially if the subsequent shipping costs are higher than you may have been expecting...

 

If you are looking at this auction then you probably already know what a CBX is.  This one is ALL original, with correct hardware, correct (and rebuilt) carbs, paintwork in great shape, no rust in tank, no rust anywhere, brakes function correctly, engine runs good, with the correct 422 original exhausts and the sport kit. If I part this bike out, it will make over $15000 in parts, but that would be criminal in my mind.  I am reserving this bike sensibly; those of you that think an original and correct CBX in good running order can be bought for $7000 please bring them to me, I will buy each and every one.

Any questions please email me though ebay, I have 100% feedback and am proud of that. I have owned and built dozens of CBX's and this one is one of the nicest. And it's red so its fast!   











Please only bid if you have funds in place, agreement from wife etc. I will expect a deposit of $500 within 2 days of auction end, and the remainder by cash or check within 10 days of auction end. As mentioned I can deliver this bike locally or to a shipping depot, please make arrangements and ask questions before bidding. Good luck with your bids, and I hope this fine bike will go to a good owner who will take good care of the next segment of this bike's life.

Simon and Leo

Thu, 11 Aug 2011

If you are a track day regular this year, you may well have bumped into former racer and friendly Kiwi, Simon Crafar. I first met him in Malaysia in 1990 when he was riding for a Yamaha dealer team, sweating his way round circuits like Shah Alam and Johor Bahru but with a long term plan to make it onto the World scene. And he didn’t take long as after riding for Honda in the UK in 1992 he moved to WSB in 1994 and enjoyed success with both the Honda and Kawasaki factory teams.

Team Mugen Returning to TT Zero with Shinden 2

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

Noted Honda tuner Mugen announced it will compete in the 2013 TT Zero on the Isle of Man with an updated version of its Shinden electric sportbike. Mugen entered the Shinden at last year’s TT Zero, with Isle of Man veteran John McGuinness finishing second with an average speed of 102.215 mph. Team Mugen managed to break the 100mph barrier but fell short to the race winner Michael Rutter who rode the MotoCzysz E1PC.

Intermot 2012: Honda CRF450 Rally Unveiled

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Today at Intermot 2012, Honda unveiled the CRF450 Rally, the machine it plans to enter in the 2013 Dakar Rally, marking the manufacturer’s return to the race after more than two decades. Honda has competed nine times from 1981 in the forerunner of the present Dakar Rally, the Paris-Dakar Rally. Cyril Neveu of France took Honda to its first victory in 1982, the race’s fourth year, and from 1986 to 1989 Honda won four consecutive titles for an overall record of five victories in nine years. The CRF450 Rally is based on Honda’s commercial CRF450X enduro racing model, and features electronic fuel injection, auxiliary fuel tanks in the panniers and lower side fairings, and the requisite navigation equipment located behind the windscreen.
