Honda CBX description

You are bidding on a 1982 Honda CBX. 

If you are reading this advertisement, then you already know the iconic nature of the Honda CBX. With it's powerful inline six cylinder engine, it has become one of the hottest collector motorcycles in the market. 

I bought this bike a year ago. I rode it once - for 50 miles, and it was a blast. The mileage is original. 

I own a private restoration facility and have recently sold the building. Therefore I need to pare down my collection of cars and motorcycles. Hence the CBX must go (also selling a Kawasaki Police Bike). 

We restored the CBX cosmetically. Which means new paint and decals. Each panel was taken off the bike and then taken down to bare metal (gas tank) or the paint was removed from the fiberglass panels. Two coats of paint were applied - then two coats of clear. The pearlescent white paint is not easy to apply - so great care was taken to make it look better than factory. 

We then chrome plated the valve cover - (not original, I know - but makes it look so much better). Also, we took the carbs off - and sent them out to a CBX specialist to rebuild. So, they are basically new. 

We added a new windshield (clear). 

We added other new NOS parts also, such as turn signal lenses and the units on the handlebars. 

The brakes are great - the tires are virtually new. 

She looks amazing - free of any defects in the paint - no nicks or imperfections. The bike has 5 miles since restoration. 

Please see the pics. 

Due to the age of the bike, it is sold as is - no warranty implied or expressed. Inspections are encouraged. Emails are answered promptly. 

Now for the legalese:

Natural Habitats

Sat, 26 Jan 2013

SAM Christmas has been a professional photographer for the last 3 years and is the man behind Natural Habitats, a collection of photos covering the growing UK custom scene, showing bikes and their builders at home.    Sam's clients include the likes of Honda, Dainese, Google, Polo Jeans and Edwin denim but Natural Habitats is a personal project that took one and a half years to complete. I got to meet Sam when the exhibition opened in Shoreditch on Thursday evening.

Bahrain track days

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

A few months ago, expat (and ex racer) John Beddall made contact to ask if I fancied doing some track day instruction out in Bahrain.  After thinking about it for two seconds, flights were booked and a plan was put in place to look after around forty riders for a day at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC).  Young Taylor Mac was also recruited to look after any tasty riders that I couldn’t deal with   The Brits out there love their bikes, however, quite a few locals also turned up plus a few others from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.  Most were on high end Superbikes, like S1000s, Panigales and RSV4s but there was also a healthy number R6s and new 675Rs.   Although this fabulous Hermann Tilke designed circuit is around ten years old incredibly it has never hosted a bike race.  The highlight of the year there is F1 but being owned by the Bahrainian Royal family, there is no desperate need for the circuit to operate as a profitable business.  The track reminded me of Qatar but much more interesting as some great undulations have been built into its desert location. We shared the track with Supercars on the day (20mins on/20mins off) and as you might imagine it was betty swollocks for seven hours in the 30 plus temperatures.  As usual there was a few offs with poor old RS1000 Aprilia mounted Andy breaking his femur early in the day.  Two other buddies appeared to swap bikes mid air in another incident but fortunately escaped unhurt.In the evening everyone stayed for an al fresco dinner in the paddock with the craic going on for hours as the Fosters kept flowing.   All in all it was a brilliant trip and it has left me thinking there could be cost effective ways of getting Brits out there for track days next winter.  I'll keep you posted.Cape Town next to make my racing comeback at the Killarney 8 hour on a CBR150 Honda.  Hopefully I can manage the beast, I'll post a full report next week.

WSBK: 2012 Magny-Cours Results – Championship Decided by Half a Point

Tue, 09 Oct 2012

You would think carrying a 30.5 point lead into the final round of the 2012 World Superbike Championship would be a safe enough margin to win the title. Aprilia‘s Max Biaggi made it interesting, inexplicably crashing out of the first race at the finale in Magny-C0urs before scoring a fifth place finish in Race Two to give him a 0.5 point margin over Kawasaki‘s Tom Sykes to win the title. The 358 to 357.5 point difference is the narrowest finish ever in WSBK.
