Honda CBX description
1979 Honda CBX. 100% stock bike. All original. I've owned the bike for 10 years. During that time, I have completed a partial restoration. Thus far, I have stripped the bike to the frame; re-sprayed the frame w/ DuPont Imron (black), nickel plated the swing arm, the rear brake reaction rod, both front and rear caliper assemblies.
Left to accomplish is to repair the torn seat, remove a ding from the gas tank, re-spray the rear cowling behind the seat and clean up the aluminum castings that surround the engine. The engine block is quite clean. The "covers": clutch, alternator, valve covers, and crank end caps are all showing superficial corrosion. They all need to be removed and refinished. Exhaust pipes are original and in astonishingly good condition for their age. Seat is torn, but the seat pan is very strong. Re-upholstering will be needed. Mechanically the bike runs very well. The timing chain needs tightening and that is it. The bike starts quickly and runs smoothly. I'm riding it every week. Tank paint is excellent. Seat cowling paint is worn. Side covers are excellent. I've attempted to show the bike in the photographs as it is. From 5 feet back it looks gorgeous. Closer than that and it begins to reveal its wisdom. If the next owner is willing to invest a bit, the bike can become a concours piece. A real show stopper! Shipping will be at the buyers expense. I will be happy to help with arrangements. HaulBikes.com is an excellent motorcycle shipper. Payment will be by cashiers check. A deposit is not needed. I must have the check in hand before loading the bike. On Jun-13-16 at 08:22:30 PDT, seller added the following information: An observant e-bayer has noted that this bike has an 85MPH speedo, which is not correct. The 79-80 bikes had a 150MPH speedo. Given that situation, the mileage indicated is not the true mileage for the bike. True mileage is now unknown. |

See Britain's land speed record hopeful at Race Retro 2010
Tue, 09 Mar 2010SEE THE MACHINE that could propel Britain to a new motorcycle land speed world record at The Race Retro 2010 show, held at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry from 12th to 14th March. Almost a year has passed since Visordown broke the news of the planned UK assault on the land speed record - this coming August the Angelic Bulldog team travels to Bonneville, where it is hoping to smash the 400mph barrier and bring the motorcycle Land Speed Record back to the UK for the first time since 1937. The current record stands at 360.913mph over a kilometre.
OEMs Plug into Electric Bikes
Sat, 01 Nov 2008KTM introduced its prototype electric motorcycle earlier this week, and electric bike manufacturer Zero Motorcycles almost immediately responded by opening sales on its 2009 Zero X dirt bike (look for our review of the 2008 model next week!). But these two companies aren’t the only ones exploring the possibilities of electric-powered motorcycles. In September, Japan’s largest industrial information journal Nikkei Business Daily reported that both Honda and Yamaha have set target dates for launching their own electric-powered motorcycles.
