Honda Other description

There is something special about an inline six cyl motorcycle, and even today - 0+ years later - a six cyl bike is still rather rare amp; exotic. The CBX is already a collector bike, and part of any serious bucket-list must-own bike collection. The 1st year CBX is probably the most desirable in this respect, because the touring accessories that were added in later years didn't make the bike sexier, and many people prefer the look of the natural cast aluminum rather than the later black engines. No disrespect to any of them however - they are ALL worth owning! : -) Offered for auction is this 1979 Honda CBX, 1 of two that I own. This machine was parked a little over a year ago due to leaks in the front and rear master cylinders - which seems to be a weakness on these bikes - but otherwise it was a fine running bike. I purchased it to make a cafe racer out of it, with the thought of duplicating the look of a 1960s Honda racing bike. But I'm currently in the middle of a Harley XR750 powered Norton featherbed cafe racer build, which has turned into a time consuming money pit of a project - so I don't think that another cafe racer project is going to happen. And the truth is that I think this CBX is just too nice to cut up into a cafe racer - it deserves to be restored amp; back out on the road. I already have 1 bone stock restored 1979 CBX, so it's time to let this 1 go. This bike still has the original exhaust system and the original 1 yr only seat tail section. The exhaust is in overall terrific shape, but someone has removed the end baffle from the muffler for a better sound. The seat tail section has not had a hole blown into it amp; been repaired as many 1979 tail sections seem to suffer, which is rare.

Motorcycles at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

Mon, 28 Sep 2009

Two weeks ago, I took a break from my regular duties gathering news for Motorcycle.com to fly to Germany to cover the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show for our sister site AutoGuide.com. For two hectic days, AutoGuide editor Colum Wood and I scrambled across the massive 6.2 million square foot Messe Frankfurt trade fair compound, running from press conference to press conference to get the latest on exotic sport cars, futuristic concept models and international unveilings from the automotive world. It was heaven for car lovers, but for me, it meant fighting my way through hordes of photogs, auto-journalists and car show models to get the first photos of four-wheeled goodies from MINI, Ferrari and Lotus.
