The Appeal
Six-cylinder engines are usually reserved for four-wheeled machines, so you know when they’re fitted between the frames of a bike, it’s going to be something rather interesting…
Enter the CBX1000; unveiled in the UK in 1978, the six-cylinder 1047cc CBX1000 sold slowly due to its high list price (£2,750.00) and the fact that only one insurance company in the UK would cover riders at the time, making them prohibitively expensive to both own and run.
In 1981, Honda made the choice to turn the CBX1000 into a more touring-oriented bike, and released the Pro-Link as seen here, with a full fairing, optional luggage pack, air suspension and more.
This particular example was purchased by the current owner to add to his growing collection of classic and retro motorbikes, but a shift back towards four-wheeled classics means that this wonderful six-cylinder tourer is now back on the market - just in time for summer!
