CBX 1000 Raw Onboard with smoking brakes [HQ Sound] (Part 1)

[@Toxie_Motor]

Yeah, it's definitely the lack of brake cooling thats causing most of the issues, but we want to keep this bike fairly stock so no drilling haha. We are currently building a second CBX, a fully custom one, with a hayabusa front-end. That one will surely have no problem with braking ;)

Prolink vented discs are nice.

Finally a high quality video of this amazing sounding bike. Thank you! Yeah, it is true ... it is always a pleasure to drive the CBX 1000 especially in Europe, even really basic there is nothing that disturbs me it remains my favorite bike, The best legendary motorcycle! 👍👍👍👍 - In time I do a take about my 50 years of motorcycle experience. Stay safe.

Ha! Ha! I just made a comment about the forks on part 2 as I watched that first. As I mentioned there, I had a red and black one from new and rode all over Europe on it, in every type of weather, even snow!! This brought back many memories. The flexing of the forks, frame and swing arm was so normal in those days we all just laughed about it. The brakes were what we had, so again no problem. I run a ZZR 1100 and a ZX14R now and they are both well advanced from the CBX of course but there is nothing in my opinion that can match the sheer joy of the CBX's engine( The ZZR is second best and ZX14R 3rd). You are a lucky chap Sir.

[@Toxie_Motor]

I absolutely agree with you, the motor is just so purely awesome. You're quite lucky yourself having so many great memories with that bike and having had the oportunity to ride it all over europe. You are totally right about what you said in your comment on the other video, it was a fairly tight route, mostly first and second, sometimes third gear. I'll record and upload a video with better video and audio quality the coming season so stay tuned for that. Also we are currently building a custom CBX with a modern front end and new swingarm and shocks which should be done some time next year to. But I think I might always prefer the original one, it's kinda really exciting to feel all the parts work under stress and to have that extra challenge that comes with the limited capabilities haha.

Beautiful bike and beautiful Location!

[@Toxie_Motor]

Glad you like it man! Newer even better video of it might be coming soon.

Brakes are the new smoking.

[@kanalSwissBlade]

Respekt. Fahre seit 1976 und kenne die alten Jahrgänge daher. Aus gutem Grunde fuhren wir früher nur Uphill mit Knallgas Feuer frei und liessen es Downhill sachte angehen (-; Ja, ein schwerer Brocken, aber so um die 230-245kg Fahrgewicht war damals normal in den grossen Klassen - top

Bis 8:00 dachte ich du wärst wirklich Engländer oder Amerikaner Das Deutsch kam echt unerwartet :D

[@Toxie_Motor]

Danke man, das seh ich als großes Kompliment :D

[@rcermelo]

Yep first bike with (analog) abs

[@Toxie_Motor]

lol hahaha

[@KayoMichiels]

Seems like the bike's brakes has difficulty with cooling... drilling some holes in it to dissipate the heat on a laythe, might help.

[@TheJWC56RSA]

Why do you say "o god" ?????

[@Toxie_Motor]

You mean when looking down at the brakes? I said it because they were smoking.

[@alexpastore3948]

Sounds great, love the tone with the factory 6-2. Check out my cbx video sometime!

[@Toxie_Motor]

Glad you like the video, hopefully I'll have the oportunity to record a video of it with even better sound soon. And also next year I'll be riding our custom one with some SC-Project on it or so.

[@rideroll9609]

Brake pump needs immediately change... FFS dont be stupid do your maintenance on your bikes...

[@Toxie_Motor]

Yes I know, it's my dad's bike and I rode it for the first time. I told him afterwards, but he hasn't done anything about it still. I won't be riding that bike again before he has changed it. It's really dangerous like this.

[@rideroll9609]

@@Toxie_Motor change it without knowing of your father, help him to be safe...

[@Toxie_Motor]

@@rideroll9609 yeah, might do

[@rideroll9609]

​@@Toxie_Motor just buy parts and restore it, its easy as hell... and change brake lines for steel lines(soo much better response from bike, I use it for my CM400T 81`) and after that clean braking caliper too :D

[@Toxie_Motor]

@@rideroll9609 Yeah I know how easy it is, just did it on both of my own bikes about a month ago.
