My 1979 Honda CBX

[@sanderslongdrive]

This is a BEAUTIFUL motorsickle. Be deservedly proud. Twenty years ago in the U.K. this model could barely be given away. It was nicknamed 'The Whale,' and I also heard it referred to as 'The Gas Guzzler,' and 'The Dinosaur.' I sung its praises but no-one listened. Then strangely (and I haven't a clue how it happened) it became almost overnight extremely desirable, and its value rose from £ 1,500. to £ 10,000. Most likely a celebrity was photographed on one? Whatever the reason, it will now be preserved in numbers as an icon. Quite rightly so! (Only this week on buying my latest I struggled between this model and the Honda Valkyrie. The latter won, and let's hope that I don't drop it).

Gorgeous

[@vincentmondello2052]

Love it. We were putting those together new out of the crate when I worked for Honda. Mine was just like yours, I went to Denco 6/6 pipes. Thanks for the memories I rebuilt 2 of th 781/2 models with the bad petcocks and the massive failure caused by gas in the 5-6 cyl, causing a hydraulic situation. #6 rod would break and take all of the alternator housing with it, a semicircle cut :(

[@SportbikeUnitedRiderz]

Absolutely stunning ! had the 1981 Honda CB 750 SuperSport in same condition.

Beautiful job

[@sammcrae8892]

Of course it's cold blooded, it's a Honda, but once it's warm, she will rock and roll.

[@ekitching]

That thing is beautiful! Great job on it.

[@nivan231]

What a lovely motorbike bro and u have maintained it so well.. it's my birth year

[@fabiominervino7256]

Que moto hermosa lo felicito al dueño lo una belleza qué la disfrutes

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

Thank you! I restored it myself although the engine was just cleaned up and a little maintenance on it.

[@stuartvorster4911]

Magnificent!

[@Always2Wheel]

yo that bike looks as if it just came off the dealership nice job on taking care of it

[@sstocker31]

Your bike looks fantastic, nice job restoring it. It's got carbs......it'll always be cold blooded.

[@mikerieck306]

Turn the idle mixture screws out a half to 3/4 of a turn and it will noticeably improve cold running and steady cruise.

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

I am kicking myself now. I sent it out to GTL in Hollywood, CA. Gas Tank Lining. Not cheap but a good investment.

[@paulsefton7102]

The most gorgeous motorcycle ever made. Just ahead of the 916 Ducati.

[@sanderslongdrive]

Don't forget the Brough Superior, Norton Superior, Aerial Square Four, and my bike - the Valkyrie!

[@stevenlangdon-griffiths293]

The handle bar grips are the same as my bike which is a Victory Hammer. They are very comfortable and work well.

[@jimclarke1108]

Great job

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

Jim Clarke thank you!

[@mPDC-gh8jy]

Well restored except the (strange and mismatched) rubber handlebar grips.

[@rideroll9609]

I really need one of these in my life :D :D

[@marks2731]

This bike, the CBX .. it is my next bike. I will either keep what I have, or get a CBX. No other options.

[@laneglarry]

Awesome to see, apparently that bike will be worth 6 figures in 5 years, so a wonderful investment

[@sawada1969]

Cool！

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

Thank you! I know they are not stock but we're way more comfortable.

[@dannytheplumber7394]

Amazing bike , too bad you sold it . May you specify what brand you used to line the inside of the gas tank ,,( airplane epoxy ?)

[@sardormasharipov508]

👍👍👍👍👍💐💐

[@steelwheels327]

Very nice ! ever consider selling it ?

[@rockhardlyable]

I like it a lot. Where did you get the "new Sankei exhaust" please. Are the front forks from a CBX? Not to be picky but I notice the fork's top caps are not from a 1979 CBX

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

I believe it was called Northwest Vintage Motorcycle in Maine. The forks are original but the previous owner had air line on it so I used caps off a CB750.

[@richardkean5352]

Nice resto Jim. I need to strip/redo the 'liner' that the previous owner did on my CBX. Can you provide me with the name of the outfit who did the gas tank lining? I like the even coverage that was obtained. Tx

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

Richard Kean Thank you! I sent the gas tank to GTL Advantage in Hollywood,CA. They did a outstanding job and will use them again.

[@ricardomk9725]

Hello Jim please ....Where did you buy the seat? And the motor protection?

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

The seat was stock and the guards came with the bike when I bought it.

[@rover100bunson]

Its a gas that the tyre on these is the same width as 125,s now

[@powerofone1645]

If I had this I wouldn't enjoy it, always think some one will pinch it..... :( 3:09 is your camera lense made out of a jellyfish?

[@ar2043]

Beautiful motorcycle. Carburetors are out of sync and it sounds like it's running on 4 out of 6 cylinders!!!

[@tedmarakas2626]

I'll buy it. Where are you? how much cash should I bring with me?

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

Sorry but it was sold a few years ago. Still kicking myself.

[@tedmarakas2626]

@@NemadjiOutdoors I understand.....In 30 plus years of riding I've kicked myself so many times.

[@andreisamuel2939]

Quer trocar ou vender?

[@anilghavate]

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

Sorry but it sold last fall and is in the UK.

Why the stupid piece of plastic hose as rear brake fluid reservoir?, WHY????

[@scottb8175]

Its a fibre braided rubber hose that goes to the actual reservoir mounted up high on the frame (actually the battery box) - that's the stock parts there....when new the hoses look black, but over time the fibre braid looses its color because the dye in the fibre braid washes out - same for the OEM oil cooler lines. I've owned 22 CBX's.... I still have 3 now

[@germagic2]

sell it ti me 25,000

[@rideroll9609]

That grips are just terrible... :D

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

The stock ones were terrible and these Kuryakans were more comfortable. It was the one stock item I was willing to compromise on.

[@zalle1]

The tall handlebars look so... 🤮

[@NemadjiOutdoors]

They are stock handlebars.

[@zalle1]

@@NemadjiOutdoors In Europe the stock handlebars are a lot lower. I think you call it the "sports kit"
