I click to the vidéo to hear the sound of the bike, not your voice !

Read the description, this is a documentary channel. There is a sound clip in the video

How can an 8 minute video talking about one of the best sounding machines ever made NOT include any of that sound?

[@SmaRTrxxv]

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kimmer6]

Here. It's an old video but I made these sounds myself a few thousand times with my 1979 with 6 into 1 pipes. He's out cruising past Harleys and I don't think he redlines it. Maybe 8500 rpm since he's out for a Sunday drive. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4XGcml6fsp0r6s

A silver 1979 has been my ride for the last few years. Bought it new in 1978. I truly appreciate how fortunate I am. Nice day, no one around, just that great sound and that wonderful motor sticking out past the gas tank. Mechanical music.

[@TrustyZ900]

I had just as much fun riding my KZ1000MKll way back when as I do riding my Z900. 900 handles better, stops better, has more power. But back then I didn't have to contend with angry karens and aggressive drivers at every turn. Somewhat peaceful and totally enjoyable years ago. CBX's were a magical machine then as now.Worked at a Honda dealership in' 79. Remember 3 CBX's coming in for delivery. 2 red, one silver. Couldn't believe my eyes. Don't need 200 hp and all the tech. Better times IMO.

Didn't take long to realize what a great bike the CBX1000 was and is today (45 years)😳

I have 4 Classic Moto Guzzis. They all sound great!

[@bb57365]

F1 inspired engine, sound. Outrageous bike.

[@willbar1961]

Luckily I can hear my 79 model. The 6 into 1 pipe sounds great.

[@coreysabroe6171]

I got to experience doing a valve adjustment on one of these when I was in School, but I can't remember if it was a shim over or shim under bucket,I e never seen one or worked on one since,glad I got to experience that

[@Slamboni4k]

Are there any performance parts that would be able to alleviate the wobbling and stability issues? Asking for a friend, likely buying one soon.

[@Toast-ej2lr]

Can't beat Ohlins suspension and steering damper. Moving the rear wheel back and adding more trail helps.

The F1 Sound mentioned in the title is nowhere to be heard in this video...actually no CBX sound at all.

[@kimmer6]

Hmmmm. April 21, 2024.... I just gave away a 1980 black CBX to a young enthusiast in SoCal. Free. Don't worry, I have 2 more that run, a '79 and an '81, and one complete 1981parts bike. Age and a medical condition prevents me from riding anything anymore. He is the guy who deserves it. I bought my '79 with a rod punched through the cases. It was my very first motorcycle engine overhaul and I rode it for 35,000 miles over the years to all California CBX Club events.

[@marvincam100]

The main thing is that there was no rumbling from the bike. Just this guy talking.

[@zTHEORY55z]

Thanks for talking all the way through that

[@Hidayatullah1967.]

I really like the sound of the CBX, like the sound of a Formula 1 car

[@ZEUS-eg8jw]

Never heard a CBX-video sounding better like this one! Oops, 888 subscribes? ... Nuff said!!

[@davidmacphee3549]

I expected way more. Good video!

[@Thomas63r2]

I was an original owner of a Candy Glory Red '79 complete with a factory Euro-kit, gold anodize painted Comstar wheels, drilled rotors. For a brief period of time I ran it with a Maxi-X exhaust: 6 into one into two short megaphones and no actual mufflers. The sound was too intense and I found someone with a stock exhaust and we did a swap. For the best in CBX sound kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZi2oY2khM6GbKc and kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqPIm4aDq76cnqM Enjoy!

What a ridiculous waste of a phenomenal sound - who wants to hear a cheesey voice over when we should be hearing that engine!
