If Batman Rode a Japanese Bike, He'd Ride This 6 Cylinder Honda CBX1000 !

[@julianpritchard2558]

Come on, let’s get Jim over 30,000 . We need more videos like this. Remember people, “ get Jim over 30,000 “ it’s better than “ make America great again “!

[@Gassit]

Only 2 months later and he's approaching 50K

[@beachamgroup2482]

Something about black and gold. Reminiscent of the old J.P S Formula 1 cars

[@sharg0]

Found this channel since I'm 50+ and pondering getting a bike - since I'm fairly used to handling a spanner (high precision machinist, worked at a garage, electronics as hobby...) I intend to do my own work but I'm not familiar with bike systems. But I'm waffling, back to topic... This channel has quickly become one of my favorites and one of very few where I hit "like" before watching.

[@Wheelgauge-bt7ox]

I too am 50+ and have been riding for 40hrs. Highly recommend getting a bike and you will find a whole new world👍

[@Steve765]

Ohh God that cbx sounded glorious. Imagine that at full chat...Oooh

[@raytokens2291]

That,in my eyes, is a beautiful bike. Very well put together. Loving the pinstriping colours. Beautiful ol bike

[@ParedCheese]

Reminds me of Rickman styling from about 1975. 👍

[@firestorm755]

I remember back in the day i had a cb900. I too revived the airbox and fitted stacks because they looked cool. No amount of fiddling with jets and needles would make it run as good as the airbox. I re fitted the airbox and all was good again

[@daveswarbrick5576]

Love a CBX , i remember back in the early 80's going to Sports Motorcycles in Manchester , one lad had a CBX with a Laser 6 into 1 straight pipe , wow did it sound like an F1 engine, probably the best sounding bike ever! Those shocks look very much like the ones that snap!

[@majoy-osterlundfreeman5425]

Those shocks looks like Ohlin shocks and the for sure don’t snap! 😉

[@Mrflash222006]

A very JPS paint job and the lines suit the bike, as you say it just needs that last little push to make it 100%

[@peterwilson8797]

Had the carbs off mine 7 times. Leave the lower rear bolt in the engine. Airbox bands loose. Slackening the drive chain slowly lays the engine fwd. Carbs straight out.

[@llewvirtue861]

Had mine rebuilt by Mike Nixon in the states

[@pauls4708]

as soon as i saw those pipes i thought i must hear that!

[@-DC-]

Definite Jim Goose Vibe

[@cabbage681]

Yep would of fit right in with the z1000 in Mad max one

[@KCadbyRacing]

Out of all the people you'd think it shouldn't happen to, in the mid-80s I had to help my Honda Service Manager replace the #1 Con-Rod in his CBX engine after he forgot to turn his fuel petcock off when he parked it (where it leaned far enough to the left for the gas in the higher carbs to flood down into the #1 cylinder) = hydro locked and bent #1 rod when he tried to start it. I don't remember for sure but I think Honda might have designed and made the first vacuum operated petcock because of that issue...

[@woutermemelink4507]

Nice one. However there is another rebuild cbx in Spain i saw last year at the circuit of Valencia. Bike is from Aspar, complete rebuild with motogp parts. Big delta swingarm, Ohlins gp forks, beautiful handmade exhaust. A real beauty.

[@christophermcnally8782]

I had a red 79. It was the only bike i regretted selling.

[@JamesRedfern-gy5uc]

Fantastic channel Jim really deserves 100,000 even more

[@kevinwilliams4899]

Lead tag could be an identifier used in the powder coating?

[@mickleblade]

I thought it was an I'd tag too, but not sure for what

[@grahamx8623]

Why's it taken me so long to find your channel? I'm on a major binge watch to catch up! As a long term, small time bike botherer its right up my street, thanks.

[@SeanRidley-g7z]

My late father had a Benelli 750 sei. It sounded great with a Marving 6 into 1 system. It wasn't fast but it was super smooth to ride.

[@cabbage681]

The little led thing is the warp drive activation switch 🤣lovely bike👍

[@derrickmanning2597]

Kinda short on time so slipped to the good bit after you did the magic,hell even with the mic issues that sounds bloody awsome,bit like the old mv race bikes,and a stunning looking machine,it needs to be ridden while the government still let us play wiith our fabulous toys,good job as always. Glad i dont live close to you,youd never get rid of me,id just sit in a corner watching a master and be happy to make the tea!

[@ZAMsChannel]

Nice to see. Well done. I disassembled a CBX some years ago, rebuild the engine, but it was never used again, as the owner messed up the frame 🤦‍♂😯

[@b12kult]

Awesome bike. Just got to love the howling noise these 6Cil. engines make !!!!

[@grahamsmith5682]

Should have been kept standard, sounds nice tho. Remember changing a crankshaft on one years ago, nightmare cross referencing to get all the correct bearings, plus getting matching weight rods. Worth it in the end.

[@stevenrowley9481]

Hey Jim . Be careful, these were a bugger for filling the sump with petrol. There was a mod to the fuel tap back in the day.

[@KCadbyRacing]

Yup, I just commented about helping my Honda Service Manager replace the #1 Con Rod in his CBX engine after it hydro locked (because he forgot to turn the fuel valve off) and the mod was replacing the original petcock with a vacuum operated valve...

[@stevenrowley9481]

@KCadbyRacing you've got it! I did one one GL1000 Gold Wing for the same reason. Mind you, it made a change to doing CX500 cam chain tensioner mods, 100's of the things!!!

[@llewvirtue861]

Probably built by Steiner gunerson at CBX Norway. CB wheels,prolink rotors and Calipers. Pipes look like pipemasters out of Australia. At lot common with my 79 CBX Z

[@markaddy53]

great job lad as always sounds mint that keep up the great work

[@garybrown5500]

Lovely bike but for me the standard bikes styling is so much better.

[@davidkirk9187]

The powdercoating looks like its been done by a seagull on some bits bolts etc are an easy fix for something nicer . looking at the painted over fibreglass stranding on fairing inner would grate my ocd if mine but its not pretty sure owner likes it as is each to their own.

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Looks a beauty of a bike.

[@Justsayin999]

Love the sound of these bikes, reminds me of old the V12 F1 cars. First video of yours I’ve watched. You don’t get many KZbiners with Tourette syndrome.

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

🤣

[@nickrider5220]

It got my attention, a great bike .....you're spot on about the fasteners, so much work has gone into it, why spoil it with cheap bolts ?!! Very interesting video Jim 😎🍻

[@Eana-of-Sussex]

34 thousand now. Great bike and suoerb video.

[@steenlassen5718]

I could spend all day riding behind a CBX!!!

[@clivewalker5465]

Many Years back I used to go to the 24 Heures du Mans motorcycle race . One year I followed a Moto Martin CBX 1000 down the Mulsanne straight , [ we were going a bit , I was riding my Z1300 ] , it looked and sounded wonderful , but , everytime He changed Gear , I could see the rear Wheel move side to side , Swingarm Bushes , perhaps ?

[@JimBiddle.]

09:18 on repeat. That sounds rude! Gorgeous, like something you'd hear at Goodwood. Chubby on the go, for sure.

[@oldirtydug6814]

I usually dislike these, flashbacks to my apprenticeship recommissioning the bosses 2, mind the carbs being a ballache to get back on. That fairings a lot nicer that the Rickman ones. Like this one though

[@SquidMissile1]

Of all the super sexy exotic superbikes you could buy, these things sound better than all of them.

[@TringmotionCoUk]

First reaction - JPS Lotus vibe

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

💯 or JPS Norton!

[@davapod]

The fairing/headlights have been hit with the ugly stick.

[@kiwicol7383]

I agree looks nice from a far but far from nice 😂

[@colfergusson4242]

Sounds fooken awesome 👍

[@stephenwilliams6939]

Is the lead thingy a mercury tilt switch for an old alarm .That fairing looks like a speed wobble in the making

[@andyjrichie6709]

Very nice bike, on the rev test, looked like it smoked more from left side, is it worth looking back on. great video.

[@KCadbyRacing]

If you notice, #1 cylinder was the worst. The CBX engine (and rack of carbs) is so wide that they were notorious for flooding the #1 cylinder (when left on the side stand without turning the fuel valve off) = many CBXs ended up with fuel in the bottom end and worst case was, #1 Con Rod would get bent if/when it hydro locked (I know that because I helped my Honda service manager replace his #1 rod)...

[@bullaschonken521]

Bike looks awesome 👍

[@mickleblade]

I bet the neighbours love you!

[@tubemunkytoast7760]

Sounds epic 👍

[@markb5985]

Sweet sweet music 🥰

[@cbrf4r579]

Does it have the batman logo when you turn the headlight on😂

[@dogshome7110]

If the owner gets bored, you have my number. You do have it, don't you?? Please say you have my number! OMG, you MUST have it!!!!!!

[@chrisktm2010]

Jim is the toecutter

[@mickvonbornemann3824]

You need a trade plate

[@davidrochow9382]

He did ride a Japanese bike. In the T.V series from the 60s it was a Yamaha with a sidecar.

[@fw1421]

Beautiful bike. Honda should have built this instead of the late model CBX touring model.

[@jonny2legs77]

Could be a tracker?

[@georgerobartes2008]

John Player Special the F1 team that launched a million tributes . Odd choice for a TT commemorative bike .

[@lewisgreen6722]

Lead thingy fixed to wire maybe anti theft tracking device??????

[@MartinMcMartin]

Every time I hear my gopro footage from my bike, it sounds like the cams and crank are about to fall out on the floor.

[@rick1622]

rickman / dunstall laverda jota 80s kit replica,s mad power big weight skinny tires mad motors ahhhh what a time it was

[@riccicrozzie8204]

On a side note, my KTM Duke sounds like a bucket of bolts at idle.

[@simonrawle7885]

looks a bit Bōsōzoku to me . cool looking thing

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Looks like something off Mad Max

[@steveneastland4128]

You want a nice trade plate, for those occasions when a bike isn`t quite `legal`

[@P6_7R_Nick]

Awesome machine that one Jim, only made better with those pipes. That idle sound track was enough for me, blippimg the throttle was just too much 💦💦 Lovely ❤

[@tdimccullough]

what width of a rear tyre has it? 130mm

[@IronheadTere]

Cool bike man ❤ You guys should check out the real Bat Bike at Slick Head Custom Cycle s Tell him Terrance NZ sent ya Respect🤓

[@Wheelgauge-bt7ox]

That’s one pretty little lady!

[@freemenofengland2880]

Get a cut-down seat re-done and then either a small flyscreen or a Thruxton type fairing and then the whole bike will be AWESOME!!!

[@mdk5112]

Moto Martin?

[@Desertduleler_88]

Purrs like a Merlin….

[@PaulMappud]

I really don't wanna go down a 30k Rabbit Hole...😅

[@535832]

Could you not run it on trade plate😊

[@AlistairCampbell1047cc]

Wow! What a bonus on a Friday. I've been around CBX's for many years and I've never seen this particular model. I'll have to check out my CBX book by Ian Foster to see if it's included in the long list of 'Specials' I definitely agree with you on the subject of engine noise and video equipment. I use a Gopro Hero 4 and my CBX sounds like a bag of shite when, in reality, it runs sweet. Shame you didn't have more time on this one. I'll share it with the CBX clubs that I'm in and hopefully you'll get a few new subscribers.

[@Orangebrushskoibowlscott]

GSXR WP headlight I think. One of the ugliest headlights known to man.

[@PNH63]

Sorry just my opinion but that’s hideous , keep an iconic bike like this standard. This is the best sounding bike ever it sounds like an old school F1 car.

[@lemmykilmister450]

It works and many didn't, but it's still horrible 😮😅

[@ktmtragic1397]

Sorry hate it

[@bertbog5088]

its Hideous

[@leavemyrightsalone]

The back end is aweful and boring.

[@camperp195]

Awesome sound!

[@markmiller5577]

Fairing ruins it ...

[@markw7997]

Awful looking bike

[@tinkersdug1969]

Subbed as requested jim beautiful bike good restoration but let down in a few places

[@grahamsmith5682]

Should have been kept standard, sounds nice tho. Remember changing a crankshaft on one years ago, nightmare cross referencing to get all the correct bearings, plus getting matching weight rods. Worth it in the end.
