Honda CBX 1000 on the move

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

A friend of mine bought one of these back in the 1980's... he let me take it for a ride... Lordy.. it was awesome!..I owned a CB900F Bol D'or at the time...the CBX was like a 900 on steroids!. a really great bike

[@davidmarshall1259]

my mate Andy won a large sum of money on a scratchcard in the late '80's, and as a result of this he bought a cbx1000 from down south. at the time he hadn't passed his test, so he asked my Dad to go with us to fetch his new toy. so, off we went. monies were exchanged, with relevant paperwork, and we set off on our journey north to the midlands. we were in a Datsun 260z. remember them???? I bet you do. anyway, we set off and the journey home got faster and faster. we stopped for munchies about Watford gap. and then it started. from Watford gap till M1 J24 turn off it was one big race. until you hear a Datsun 260z and a cbx1000 flat out side by side, you haven't lived. music to my ears to this day. sadly, Andy or my Dad are no longer with us, but my memory of this day will never fade. the Datsun eventually went into dry storage for several years and was eventually restored to a massively high spec and still lives to this day. as for the cbx?? I hope it also still lives a happy life, to match the happy memories it left me with. for your info, I have an original Dave Jeffries 1998 TT winning R1, and another 1998 R1 in original trim. also I own an immaculate Fast Freddie Spencer Replica Honda CB900F. so I do appreciate heritage alongside good times.

[@TheDatpussy]

DAVID Marshall damn what a story, had me emotional. Hope your dad and friend are up in heaven riding their toys. As for you, enjoy those bikes.

[@davidmarshall1259]

McMuffinFluffin thank you.

[@paulpotter9814]

DAVID Marshall have you still got the Freddie Spencer 900

[@Butcherman1337]

DAVID Marshall my favorite bike of all time. I still own my 1980 CBX. Wonderful story thanks

[@nightster6378]

@@TheGrumpyEnglishman Andy transported himself to Tues 21st March 1995 and got one from his local newsagent then back again, how else stupid.

[@AirCargoHeavy]

I remember being in awe of these things when they came out. Nice machine.

[@johnnysokko6533]

One of the greatest motorcycles ever built.

[@petergray6800]

Those Pipemasters 6-6 pipes are a work of art!!!

[@TerryClarkAccordioncrazy]

That's an awesome bike man. I would more love to ride that than any new bike currently available. Thanks for letting us hear the sound without drowning it in terrible music as so many bike videos do.

[@arangillespie]

Your bike sounds beautiful. Nice work to get it on the road. Ihearing it took me back to my childhood when I used to hang around and stare at such amazing machinery.

[@ch47av8r]

A true work of visual & acoustic art! Probably best to wear eye protection as others have noted, otherwise you're putting yourself, others, and this beautiful CBX at risk.

[@jamesbottger5894]

I like the 6 individual pipes, they look nice. I had a '79 I bought new in '80. After having a Goldwing, a Triumph Rocket III, and a Suzuki M109R, the CBX looks so small...

[@MrDevo5]

used to have one,this vid has made me want another

[@ChrisR57]

That is one super nice '79 CBX mate!! At the speeds that bike will reach, I'd invest in a full coverage helmet, or at least some eye protection. Take Care, Chris

[@geewhite32]

Stunning looking bike. I had the prolink version in 1990 but always wanted the original...more power! and no fairing, more engine on view! Good vid. Cheers. Graeme.

[@labeete]

what a bike ! what a sound ! and a superb video !

[@357Shakey]

Great bike. But a helmet with no eye protection. And not wearing any goggles or glasses? WTF?!?!

[@505197]

He has his safety squint on. I noticed that too and it made me feel like he's some sort of newbie. I have a wind screen large enough to sleep under and I still wear glasses.

[@tasminhead8594]

This ain't America

[@ernestorillion665]

Tasmin Head American riders generally have more sense

[@darkheart9044]

+Ernest Orillion Oh, really??

[@505197]

He was using his best safety squint.

[@aguiristante]

great video and camera work of a great bike

[@SoyBoySigh]

I like the 296mm rotors on the early silver COMSTAR rim, but IMHO it should be the dished 296mm rotors from CB1100RB (now in replica form, for cheap, Metalgear.AU) with an 18" front wheel utilizing 'spokes' from early CM400 and a 2.5x18" Akront "NERVI" rim (40%-50% lighter than stock) with CB900/CB750/CBX dual-disc hub of course (the CM type was single disc, sadly - 'cause it's rotor bolts were rotated some 36% in other words they were 1/2 a spoke "out of phase" to the wheel itself - would've looked cool imho) Such a wheel-set, ideally paired to another early Silver Comstar & "NERVI" rim of 3.5x18"-4.25x18" ideally using a replacement hub cut from a later cast wheel bolted up to a CM400/CB400 type spoke-set for the smaller hub diameter etc, ideally a dished one-piece rotor from CB400/CM400/CX500 etc in 240mm, or perhaps the CB350F/CB400F 6-rivet composite disc in 260mm, ideally with an early CB750F1 or GL1000 first-year opposed-piston rear caliper (underslung in the case of a Gold-Wing version) cut down & re-welded or it's axle hole welded-filled & re-drilled, and again ideally some single-puck calipers perhaps those '75 REAR calipers Super-Sport and 'WING mated as a left & right pair, cut down to bolt up as FRONT calipers? Might even get away with a disguised 41mm-43mm fork, or 43mm TRAC fork for a later era version (using two RHS legs from '96+ ST1100-ABS etc etc) With ALL or at least some of these mods, the '78-'82 CBX six, OR for that matter the '79-'83 DOHC-4 ... what the heck even the '77-'78 SOHC-4 CB750F2 model, pretty much ANYTHING with Comstar wheels? Could be brought up to a more modern standard of chassis specification, ah but without sacrificing all of that vintage aesthetic - which is what got you interested in the CLASSICS in the first place, right? HELL YEAH. Just stop pulling all of this FUGLY STARBUCKS RACER NONSENSE, could we? The fugly USD forks & oversized floating rotors with the spider-web snow-flake snow-web/spiderflake center carriers, with the heavy ass 17" cast wheels, and all of this other fugly '90s Vanilla Ice Crotch Rocket SHITE......

[@jitterball]

Sounds like an old BMW 5 series. Days, when cars and bikes had soul.

[@nazimelon6653]

+jitterball actually it sounds more like a V12 F1 car. seriously, they get the same firing number.

[@simek325]

+jitterball o tym samym pomyślałem :D

[@aidanpysher2764]

A little late to this, but I recently sold off a '92 535i that I lopped the muffler off of. This sounds quite reminiscent of it. Straight 6s are God's gift to motors.

[@i_am_the_void]

a state of art.

[@paradiseroad6405]

...great sound...reminds me at different times of the great six cylinders of Maserati...Jaguar...Aston Martin...very cool... :-)

[@madeljacky]

Lovely lovely sounding bike, i have only ever saw a silver one in real life, i think yours looks much nicer, health to enjoy her mate.

[@DJSL485]

Cool bike, really well kept

[@kevinchamberlain7928]

Is it pipe master exhaust ? I think so!

Who makes the exhaust pipes

[@youthworker62]

great video guys, great bike. very jealous lol

[@ron8630]

I'll never understand why some riders don't wear eye protection,we only have two. RW

[@andycliff1965]

I had one for 3 years ,really strong motor, inline six ,and i have a old 328 i, which has a inline six ,inline six cylinder motors have a really nice "purrrr" about them ? but if i had a c.b.x. now it would haved to be a really tuned !, 105 b.h.p is not much now days ???

[@austinhealyaustin1379]

On the move video of cbx1000 first time,super from india

[@Sk8rjayde]

wonderful

[@garydunn4125]

I remember the CBX1000 coming out back in 1979 and being awestruck at the sheer size of that wonderful double overhead cam six cylinder engine. That engine still is an engineering marvel, and was the focal point of the CBX when viewed from any angle. This looks like a well looked after example, love that non standard six pipe exhaust system, very reminiscent of the Benelli Sei (A six cylinder 750 made in Italy in the 70's) The Honda CBX was the best looking, Kawasaki's Z1300 was just too big

[@mortdk]

That engine is a marvel ... :-)

[@vikotto]

Enough with the stupid eye gear comments and enjoy the damn video!

[@derek1969able]

well it was 1978..

[@homoKaliptus]

why the hell do you need two other cylinders in addition to the very sufficient four cylinders ??? i am a one cylinder owner and if I had money to change my bike I would take just a twin and drive safely . 100 km/h as average speed is all you need to travel and have fun.

[@WZW1982]

+HOSSAyNE Morocco To each their own. If everyone liked the same thing, the world would be kind of boring wouldn't it?

[@jitterball]

+HOSSAyNE Morocco To achieve higher rev range and higher power peak. At the time, when these bike were being produced, many of the technological advances weren't introduced yet.

[@homoKaliptus]

+quietguy1948 shut the fuck up ! i thought you were a quite guy !

[@ATrustInThrust]

HOSSAyNE Morocco so what have we learned? Mostly that neither of you speak English very well. And I'm def calling bullshit. The reason they have two more cylinders is so it can sound like you are riding Jesus himself
