Late in 1978, Honda uncorked a knockout punch onto the world of motorcycling with the incredible six-cylinder CBX. An early-release 1979 model, the CBX was created with the inspiration and experience derived from Honda's all-conquering six-cylinder RC166 250cc Grand Prix road-racing motorcycle. Both the RC and CBX were the brainstorms of Shoichiro Irimajiri. When Honda unveiled the CBX, it simply exploded conventional notions of what a high-performance motorcycle could be.

With six cylinders fed by as many carburetors, and double-overhead cams operating 24 valves, the air-cooled 1047cc CBX engine pumped out 103 horsepower at the crankshaft. Class-leading 11.55-second quarter-mile times came easily to the CBX. It was the quickest, most powerful production motorcycle the world had ever seen, and an unbelievable technological achievement.

Offered is a pristine all original low mileage CBX SS factory equipped with the touring saddlebags. Showing only 4,700 miles since new. This bike was purchased by the origianl owner and put on display for 17 years. This is a fine example of what Honda thought a performance cruiser should be. A highly collectable motorcycle. This particular machine presents an opportunity to own one of these famous motorcycles. Offered at No Reserve!
