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.

Get On Africa: Blog One

Wed, 06 Apr 2011

It's not every day you get to bomb around a field that was set aside for The Pope but that's exactly what we've done this morning; the first proper day of our Get On Africa adventure. We started the morning at the Riders for Health workshop where the mechanics took us through their setup and maintenance program for their bikes. The celebs ran through the basics of bike maintainance, the mechanic boasted that bikes never come back to the workshop broken, they just come in for scheduled servicing.
