THE BIKE SPECIALISTS,
TRADING STANDARDS AWARD WINNERS 2021.
We are proud to announce a "first" for The Bike Specialists with the opportunity to purchase a model that we have never been fortunate to have had for sale before. This Honda CX650 Turbo has to be seen to be believed as its condition is second to none and an absolute credit to its previous owners.
Our 1983 example started life in the warm sunny climate of Italy and was brought into, and registered in the UK in 2017. The bike underwent a major recommissioning service in November 2017 (receipt included) and will benefit from a further service and MOT prior to sale. Supplied with both UK and copies of the original Italian documents and also an original brochure and article from an issue of Motor Cycle Weekly (1983) featuring the CX650 report.
In 1983, turbocharging was thought to be the future of motorcycling. And while the Honda CX650 Turbo was arguably the best of the turbocharged motorcycles that appeared on the roads in the early Eighties, it is now one of the rarest production Hondas ever, with only 1, 777 built of which 1200 of those were made for the US and Canada.
The first Honda turbo, the CX500TC, was announced in 1981 and appeared in 1982. It not only sported a turbo, but also a fuel injection system and onboard computers. Due to poor consumption and suffering from turbo "lag" Honda went back to the drawing board and came up with the 674cc CX650T for the 1983 model year which successfully ironed out the problems and the bikes reputation as a great sports tourer quickly grew.
