First marketed in 1978, the Honda CBX was a special six-cylinder motorbike that used information from the manufacturer's RC series of racing motorbike engines. Indeed, in the 1960s, Honda experimented with the large format as part of its GP programme.
Today we present a Sport Touring model using the same engine design, the CBX 1000. With the brilliant sound of a six-cylinder engine and the handling benefits of Pro-Link rear suspension, it's a real milestone in the history of motorbikes and the Honda brand.
Still wearing its original paintwork, the bike looks stunning in white with blue accents. The rest of the bike is in equally superb condition. It is said to start and run well and its current owner has never had any problems.
A true unicorn surrounded by popularity and praise wherever it goes, this bike is perfect for any motorbike history enthusiast.
