Honda CBX description

One of a kind custom CBX. This bike was built for me several years ago by TIM's CBX. Polished single sided swing-arm from Honda Hawk GT, Ohlin's shock, Honda VFR forks with Race Tech Gold Valves and springs, Custom Honda VTR yellow paint. Silver powder coated frame. The motor is a 1981 school bike motor with just over 1000miles precision re-built by Preston Marks - big bore, ported polished head, Falicon knife rods, '79 cams, CR race carbs and Earls oil cooler. All covers chromed or polished. Lots of other details like Harley bullet signal lights, Fat superbike bar and lots of upgrade parts from TIM's catalog like ignition/starter/alternator.


Also selling with the bike as a package as is another complete 1981 zero mile "school bike" motor plus a perfect NOS fuel tank with cap and badges, an NOS rear cowl from 1980 and an NOS seat, all like new. I don't want to part with the extras separately as if I don't sell the bike, would keep the parts.

This was a very expensive build and with the extra motor and NOS parts, quite the deal for a CBX fan.
(for those wondering about the serial number, it is an "Alberta Assigned VIN" for Alberta, Canada as the original VIN tag was removed during built and powder coat and was only stuck back on, not glued and came off on a ride. This is a service offered in several provinces and is quite the process as all the paperwork has to be in order which it was and is.)

Glen Richards back with Embassy Racing

Wed, 27 Oct 2010

One of the unsung heroes of the BSB paddock over the past few seasons, has to be 2010 Superstock 1000 runner up Glen Richards. A nasty tumble in at the Brands Hatch opener lead to four DNFs, but once back on track he pushed the dominant BMWs hard, finishing on the podium eight times. While many were trading their grannies to fund new S1000RRs, Richards kept the faith and rode the wheels off his Padgett’s Honda Fireblade.

Video: Honda Crossrunner v mountain pass

Fri, 01 Apr 2011

This road (the one in the video) was a previously unseen, super-steep mountain pass which needed first gear for the hairpins and second between them with an occasional grab at third on the quicker sections. It was the sort of road that pumps up your forearms and makes you crane your neck to see what's coming next (mainly cyclists). The surface was rubbish.

Yamaha Tops Second Day of Sepang Test as Honda Twiddles Thumbs

Wed, 29 Feb 2012

Ben Spies topped the time sheets ahead of teammate Jorge Lorenzo as Yamaha continued its MotoGP pre-season testing in Malaysia. While their rivals at Honda were idled by an engine problem, the two factory Yamaha riders found improvement on their Day One times and gathered data about riding in both wet and dry conditions. Spies set the best lap time at 2:01.285 while testing different chassis settings in the morning.
