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.

A Spectacular Isle Of Man TT Lap With Michael Dunlop + Video

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

The internet is full of videos from the Isle of Man, but if you ask me, this ranks up there as one of the best I’ve seen. Michael Dunlop, who took four wins in last year’s TT, has a hard-charging style that’s exciting to watch. He leaves nothing on the table, and as we see in this on-board video, he’s practically unbeatable when he’s at the top of his game.

K-Tech release 25SSK for Big Piston Forks

Mon, 21 May 2012

K-Tech have released their popular 25SSK front fork open cartridge system to fit all Showa Big Piston Forks. Here's what K-Tech have to say about them: These lightweight aluminium units are supplied to the same exacting specification as all other 25SSK fitments with 14mm piston rods and a 25mm cartridge tube, the 14mm piston rods displace a large volume of oil through the 25mm control pistons giving enhanced damping characteristics over the standard Big Piston Fork and allow a bigger volume of air for a more precise feel at the bottom of the fork travel. The cartridge kits have compression and rebound adjustment in both legs and are supplied with 1.5mm Flow Control Valves for a more accurate adjustment, all necessary hardware is supplied to convert the Big Piston Forks to take the cartridges but it is necessary to order the springs you require as these are not included, customer price for the 25SSK cartridges is £725.00 + VAT and are available for the following models:- Honda CBR1000RR 2012 Kawasaki ZX6-R 2009-2012 Kawasaki ZX10-R 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR600 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR1000 2009-2012 Contact K-Tech on: +44(0)1283 559007.
