Collectible, Show bike, Rider

Pristine, all original, Museum Quality—No scratches , dings or rust

Retired CEO downsizing personal motorcycle collection.

This is a magnificent example of the 1983 Honda CX650 Turbo, produced one year only. Honda produced only 1777 of these motorcycles making it one of the rarest of the decade. 1200 were exported to North America.  Few of these bikes still exist in museum condition. I’ve owned this one over twenty years. It is a local Alabama bike.

With 650cc’s this machine produces 100 horsepower, equal to the output of a 1000cc bike. It’s a Turbocharged and fuel injected marvel - perfectly preserved for 33 years. If you are interested in a meticulously cared for CX650 Turbo, I encourage you to look at the photos and enlarge them to fully appreciate the condition of this motorcycle. Note the finely preserved finishes on all painted and plated surfaces—all are original and immaculate. It’s as showroom clean behind the fairing as  it is on the exterior.

Operationally this bike needs nothing. Everything works correctly—all electrics, switches, lights, horn, gauges. Battery is new. Clutch, transmission, and drive shaft all work as new. Engine starts easily, idles right and pulls strongly to its 9000 RPM redline.  Concealed battery tender connection is included for storage or display.

Now 33 years old this bike can be enjoyed as a collectible, show bike or rider. Makes a great conversation piece with its gorgeous body work and gleaming red, white, and blue factory paint.

Bid with confidence. Buy a landmark machine in magnificent condition. This is just one of dozens of my personal collectible motorcycles I’ve sold to delighted eBay buyers.

Original owners manual, tool kit, and factory brochure are included.

Frog eBike – the Electric Successor to 1985 Frog FZ750 Concept

Tue, 03 Apr 2012

San Francisco-based Frog Design released images of a new electric motorcycle concept, just as its influential Yamaha FZ750-based Rana concept gets enshrined at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Frog designer Jin Soek Hwang prepared the Frog eBike concept as an expression of how electric motor technology can influence motorcycle design. In a post on Frog’s blog, the designer says he was inspired in part by Frog’s 1985 FZ750 Rana concept (pictured after the jump).

CARB Certifies 2015 Honda NC700X – Still No 750 Engine in Sight

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

American consumers hoping Honda would replace its NC700X with the larger-displacement NC750X will be disappointed to know they might have to wait until the 2016 model year to get the 75cc engine upgrade. The California Air Resources Board has granted an executive for the 2015 Honda NC700X, certifying the motorcycle for sale in the state with the same 670cc engine displacement it had since being introduced in the 2012 model year. Now, this doesn’t mean Honda won’t decide to certify the 745cc engine after all; manufacturers resubmit and recertify models all the time, often replacing models are adding additional model using the same engine.

BMW 1000RR and the Honda C70, are they indestructible?

Wed, 20 Apr 2011

I’ve managed 1374 miles on the Michelin Power Pures (mostly on track) and although we’ve had some decent temperatures they still look like new so there’s plenty meat left for another month at least. I’ve been running them at 30psi front and 32psi rear and find they warm up after a few miles but I wouldn’t say the temperature comes any quicker than any of the competition so it has to be four miles before I get brave. I’ve had a few out the seat moments with my BMW but I have got the rear suspension  set pretty hard (8 rebound,8 compression, two turns on pre load) and in slick mode, so 190bhp in first gear at the Knockhill hairpin is always going to be dodgy.
