                                                               1983 HONDA CX650 TURBO

Collectible, Show bike, Rider

Pristine, all original, Museum Quality—No scratches , dings or rust

Retired CEO downsizing personal motorcycle collection.

This is a magnificent example of the 1983 Honda CX650 Turbo, produced one year only. Honda produced only 1777 of these motorcycles making it one of the rarest of the decade. 1200 were exported to North America.  Few of these bikes still exist in museum condition. I’ve owned this one over twenty years. It is a local Alabama bike.

With 650cc’s this machine produces 100 horsepower, equal to the output of a 1000cc bike. It’s a Turbocharged and fuel injected marvel - perfectly preserved for 33 years. If you are interested in a meticulously cared for CX650 Turbo, I encourage you to look at the photos and enlarge them to fully appreciate the condition of this motorcycle. Note the finely preserved finishes on all painted and plated surfaces—all are original and immaculate. It’s as showroom clean behind the fairing as  it is on the exterior.

Operationally this bike needs nothing. Everything works correctly—all electrics, switches, lights, horn, gauges. Battery is new. Clutch, transmission, and drive shaft all work as new. Engine starts easily, idles right and pulls strongly to its 9000 RPM redline.  Concealed battery tender connection is included for storage or display.

Now 33 years old this bike can be enjoyed as a collectible, show bike or rider. Makes a great conversation piece with its gorgeous body work and gleaming red, white, and blue factory paint.

Bid with confidence. Buy a landmark machine in magnificent condition. This is just one of dozens of my personal collectible motorcycles I’ve sold to delighted eBay buyers.

Original owners manual, tool kit, and factory brochure are included.

Shawn Higbee Wins On The Brough Superior Taylor Made Racing Moto2

Thu, 01 May 2014

In only its second race appearance, the Brough Superior Taylor Made Racing Moto2 bike competed in the WERA F1 and B Superbike events on April 27th at the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana, California, run in conjunction with the first round of the GEICO Superbike Shootout, presented by Yamaha. During the F1 race, rider Shawn Higbee moved up to as high as 2nd place from a 5th row start on the Brough Superior TMRGP2 bike.  The TMRGP2′s lightweight all carbon fiber chassis and 600cc Honda powerplant demonstrated impressive cornering speed on the tight infield sections but could not match the top speed of the heavily modified 1000cc F1 bikes on the long straights. On the last lap Higbee was shuffled back to 4th place at the finish line.

Back in the day, the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba

Fri, 24 Jun 2011

This ‘you tube’ gem sent to me recently brought back some funny memories from the scary but incredibly exciting days of 500cc two stroke racing. This particular race was the final round of the All Japan 500cc Championship at Tsukuba Circuit where I enjoyed a head to head battle with national hero Tadahiko Taira. Yamaha’s favourite son at the time, ‘tie wrap’ as we liked to call him, was taller and better looking than most Japanese riders (maybe a war baby?) and went on to win nearly everything in Japan during his career.
