Honda CBX description

1979 Full Power Honda CBX 6 cylinder

 

Totally original bike with no issues.  Very early serial # (605) which was delivered with the smooth cylinder studs.  This bike is a very well kept example, has been cleaned and recommissioned to be ridden and or shown as desired.  Correct seat, exhaust, shocks, turnsignals etc. Bike has been fitted with the desirable 'sports handling kit' please check out the pictures.  I thought about changing the studs as this was a factory recall by Honda, but decided to leave the original ones in as it is part of this bike's history.  Replacing the studs can be done with the engine in place, and a complete set of updated studs will go with the bike, as does a manual, tool kit as delivered from the factory.  If the bike is to be displayed or shown, the smooth studs are a talking point.

 

I can assist with shipping the bike overseas.  Have shipped bikes to Australia, Denmark, Norway, South America and the UK.  Please make sure you have your shipping details sorted before bidding, as asking me to arrange everything after you have bought the bike is NOT really the way to do these transactions, especially if the subsequent shipping costs are higher than you may have been expecting...

 

If you are looking at this auction then you probably already know what a CBX is.  This one is ALL original, with correct hardware, correct (and rebuilt) carbs, paintwork in great shape, no rust in tank, no rust anywhere, brakes function correctly, engine runs good, with the correct 422 original exhausts and the sport kit. If I part this bike out, it will make over $15000 in parts, but that would be criminal in my mind.  I am reserving this bike sensibly; those of you that think an original and correct CBX in good running order can be bought for $7000 please bring them to me, I will buy each and every one.

Any questions please email me though ebay, I have 100% feedback and am proud of that. I have owned and built dozens of CBX's and this one is one of the nicest. And it's red so its fast!   











Please only bid if you have funds in place, agreement from wife etc. I will expect a deposit of $500 within 2 days of auction end, and the remainder by cash or check within 10 days of auction end. As mentioned I can deliver this bike locally or to a shipping depot, please make arrangements and ask questions before bidding. Good luck with your bids, and I hope this fine bike will go to a good owner who will take good care of the next segment of this bike's life.

Postie Bike Challenge [video]

Fri, 19 Jun 2009

The Postie Bike Challenge started in 2002 as a one-off event in Brisbane, Australia to prove that small bikes can travel long distances over both asphalt, dirt, sand, or stony surfaces has turned into a 10-day charity event.  The entry fee is $4,000 but almost everything is taken care of, including: Late model Honda CT110 Postie bike (registered to you!) All breakfasts, lunches and dinners All fuel for the trip One way air ticket back to Brisbane Support truck to carry equipment, clothing bag and mechanics Final celebration dinner and hotel accommodation That’s right, you can keep the Honda CT110 Postie bike (designed for commercial and agricultural, also used by Australia Post) but the concept is to give the bike to charity in your name after the event is over, its up to you but more than 90% of the participants do give the bike back. Hit the jump to see the video and for more info on this years trek. The 2009 Postie Bike Challenge will take place from October 3rd to the 13th and will go from Brisbane to Melbourne, the destination changes every year.  The route taken will be about 2,000 miles (the direct route is about 1,000 miles).  If your interested, get your entry form and deposit in ASAP, last years event was sold out.

Moto2 needs more radical bikes

Wed, 05 Sep 2012

Makers of fine exhausts, Taylormade Racing have built a Moto2 racer that harks back to the innovative machines like the Elf Honda 500 and Britten V1000. Since Moto2's inception in 2010 the class has featured bikes with conventional chassis but the Taylormade bike, designed by Paul Taylor and John Keogh, has a radical design featuring a carbon-fibre monocoque frame, carbon-fibre swingarm, wishbone monoshock front suspension and an under-seat radiator. However, with such radical engineering the inherent problem is that it is a risk for teams to invest in such a project.
