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.

The Honda Collection Halls in Motegi

Fri, 14 Oct 2011

I thought you may have to be from a certain era to enjoy the Honda Collection Halls in Motegi but I was wrong. This immaculate museum has hundreds of race and road bikes on display starting with the first ever (wooden) motorcycle built right up to the amazing machines Pedrosa and co are campaigning this year. Being part of the Honda owned Motegi Twin Ring circuit complex, I was expecting it to be a Honda only zone so was amazed to see lots of iconic bikes from other manufacturers also on display.

Honda Developing V4 MotoGP Production Racer

Fri, 22 Jun 2012

Honda is reportedly developing a production racer based on its RC213V racebike that could be sold to teams looking to compete in MotoGP. The new racebike is expected to be of a lower-spec than the RC213V prototype but perform better than a CRT machine with a production-based engine. According to a report by racing site MotoMatters and French magazine Moto Journal, the new V4-engined production racer will be sold to race teams instead of being leased, as is the case with current satellite teams and their race prototypes.
