tntmo 896 Posted June 28, 2021 If you've never seen or heard an inline six cylinder Honda CBX, they are quite the engineering feat of the late 70's/early 80's. I would imagine there aren't too many out there with less than 5 miles, but there are currently two for sale in Idaho along with two CX650T turbo bikes, another interesting historical footnote in the early 80's. Check them out here. Somebody buy one of them! https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.AdvSearchResultsNew&searchPg=Category&additionalParams=true&sortOption=ad&timing=BySimple&timingType=&category=94F&rowCount=10&StartRow=1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rjg967 71 Posted July 17, 2021 My first bike was a 1981 CB650, I really dug in deep on Old Hondas, and truly obsessed over the cbx. I went to a vintage Honda meet and ended up following one on the highway for a few miles. That is a god-tier sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never ridden a CBX or any of the 80's turbo bikes. Happy to have another 80's bike in my stable for a little while now with my 1980 XS1100 Special project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I rode my brother in laws when I was about 20. Scared me how fast and powerful it felt. His had the 'jammer' on it. Was beautiful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
