Honda CBX description

Low mileage 1979 Honda CBX

I purchased this – first series - 1979 CBX in 2011 from a collector in New York. He purchased it from his friend who purchased it from the original owner in Florida. I imported the bike into Canada in 2011 as the fourth owner with a clear title.

The 1979 model is the most desirable of the four years the CBX was produced. The bike is ridden regularly so the mileage at the time of sale will be a little higher than what is shown.

The bike was 100% stock when I bought it. Work I have done to the bike includes:

  • Engine dismantle, inspection and rebuild by a professional. Although this CBX has very low miles, I wanted to replace all parts which deteriorate over time which includes: new gaskets, seals, clutch plates, rings, chain tensioners, alternator and starter rebuilds. I also had all engine casings soda blasted and painted (Tim’s CBX paint);

  • Inside tank clean and liner installed;

  • Sport kit (this is a very rare kit as there are not many around) and includes lower handlebars, different foot-peg position, shorter cables and a front shock brace;

  • Carb rebuild with a stage one jet kit - older bikes should run a little rich;

  • New tires, cables, chain and sprockets;

  • Front and rear brake caliper rebuilds and steel braided hydraulic lines;

  • Front suspension rebuild with progressive springs.

The rest of the bike is stock and in excellent condition.

OEMs Plug into Electric Bikes

Sat, 01 Nov 2008

KTM 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.

First Look: Marotti Honda-engined trike

Wed, 10 Feb 2010

TAKE A HONDA VFR750 engine, a reverse trike chassis and some Batman-style aerodynamic bodywork and this is the result. Polish company Marotti have built this 100bhp prototype model using a 750cc Honda motorcycle engine. The company is now planning to frighten potential customers witless with a new 1.4 litre engine machine that will deliver a claimed power ratio of 397bhp/tonne.Oooh, yer bugger...

Isle of Man TT 2013: Monster Energy Supersport Race 1 Results

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

Michael Dunlop captured his second victory in the 2013 Isle of Man TT, winning the first Supersport race a day after doing the same in the Superbike race. But it was a different Dunlop that led early on the first lap. Older brother William Dunlop on the Milwaukee Yamaha R6 had the fastest time through Glen Helen, between the ninth and tenth milestones of the Isle of Man’s Mountain course.
