The Honda CBX was produced between 1978 and 1982 and the original specifications were 272.01 kilograms in weight with a 58.86 wheelbase. The seat height was 31.9 inches with ground clearance of 5.906 inches. The Honda CBX was the worlds very first six cylinder, twenty four valve double over head cam machine that pulled over 1000 CC.
In 1981 the Honda CBX was reconfigured to incorporate fairing and saddle bags as a touring bike. Other changes included the rear suspension from the dual to mono shock and the progressive linkage system was also introduced.
By 1982 the Honda stopped production of the CBX. The bike was quite expensive and those who could afford one were not necessarily the best riders. Bad riders reported that the bike didn't handle well but this was untrue, the bike weighing six hundred pounds needs a steady rider and if rode well the bike handled perfectly, but these rumours coupled with the cost drove the bike in to the doldrums and production stopped. Some CBX enthusiasts have now added modern tyres and replaced some of the original features with look-a-like modern parts and report that this bike is an absolute dream to ride.
