It looks like Honda may be coming out with a new CBX 6-cylinder model in the future, to follow in the footsteps of their CB1100 retro bike introduced a few years ago:
Current motorcycle collection: 2002 Yamaha FZ1; 2005 Triumph Bonneville T-100; 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500; 2009 BMW F650GS; 2016 BMW R1200RS; 2011 Zero S 16.6 kWh

Years ago, I attended quite a few motorcycle drag races. At our local 1/8 mile track there was always a guy on a relatively stock appearing CBX (6 into 1 pipe the only concession). Every time he left the lights, the front end would carry through 1st & 2nd gear and the howl coming from those tiny cylinders was just glorious. Very good imitation of a Formula 1 car |

Honda_CBX.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Zitat von duccrazydave im Beitrag #4 There is a rumour that Honda technicians recorded F4 Phantom fighter jets taking off and had the exhaust tuned to replicate the sound. The saying is that they came realy close on the prototype but it was toned down on the production version. One of my classmates in high school build a Moto Martin CBX (probably the coolest bike any 18 year old guy could have 1982). I hated him back then as I was sooo jealous, but we are the best of friends today. On his 40th birthday party his father rolled in the very same Martin CBX that he had located, purchased and restored to the same colour (gold and red) as when it was new 22 years earlier. Thats what I call a birthday present!!! (not the bike in the pic, but close) |
