The Appeal
The Honda CX500 has earned a cult following, despite having had a bit of a rough time of it with the motoring press when new. It's a fabulous looking bike, with curious styling that evokes the likes of Guzzi, and the unusual fixture of a transverse V-twin engine - the first Honda had stuck between two wheels. These motorcycles have become increasingly sought after for custom builds, with their unusual mechanics and technology-packed nature making for an increasingly popular retro curiosity.
This bike is a labour of love, having been transformed from a neglected barn find import into a smart single-seat touring machine through a meticulous three-year restoration process. The comprehensive rebuild included professional finishing touches and quality components from Cafe Racer Kits, and what a result! A truly unique mount that's ready and waiting for its new rider.
