Description
1979 Honda CBX1000 Registration no. not registered Frame no. CB1-2021733 Engine no. CB1E-2024006 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. For most owners though, it was not the CBX's performance so much as its on-road presence that mattered. Even today, few bikes can match it for charisma, visual appeal and, above all, sound. This CBX is believed to have been imported from South Africa although the Honda Owners Club has verified its date, there is no original South African V5 or NOVA documentation available. Purchased in the UK a few years ago by the current vendor, it has been stored since and will require recommissioning before it can return to the road. Given its period of inactivity, a thorough inspection and servicing are recommended to ensure it is roadworthy and fully functional. Offered with the aforementioned dating certificate. 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.
