Description
1979 Honda CBX1000 Registration no. CVR 22T Frame no. CB1-2013936 Engine no. CB1E-2015190 •Present ownership since 2019 •Engine rebuilt in 2017 •Numerous bills and receipts available 'The CBX was quite simply a marvellous revelation which has genuinely elevated the status of motorcycling. Few people will be able to afford to run one, but then the best is never cheap. Above all, such a motorcycle should not be condemned because it's an excess.' - Bike magazine, December 1978. Just as it had in the preceding decade with the four-cylinder CB750, Honda stunned the world again in the 1970s, introducing the Gold Wing super-tourer and the outrageous six-cylinder CBX1000. Launched in 1978, the latter was not the first six of the modern era, Benelli's 750 Sei having beaten it by a couple of years, but it was by far the biggest and fastest. Launched in 'naked', twin-shock form, the CBX was revamped for 1981, gaining Pro-Link mono-shock rear suspension, a half fairing and ventilated front disc brakes. Weighing around 550lbs and with 105bhp on tap, the CBX was good for over 130mph and scorched through the standing quarter-mile in around 12 seconds. First registered on 22nd April 1979, this CBX has belonged to the current vendor since 1st October 2019. The machine comes with bills and receipts dating back 20 years, including one for a £3,800 engine rebuild in 2017 at circa 34,000 miles (the current odometer reading is 35,273 miles) and a clutch rebuild in 2018. Just recently the carburettors were cleaned and rebuilt. Last run in March 2024, the Honda is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate and HPI check sheet, the latter recording a change of colour from black to red in 1988. Offered with key Footnotes: All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
