1979 Honda CBX 1050

FOR SALE 1979 HONDA CBX1000 - THE SIXIEST HONDA STREET BIKE EVER BUILT!
IF YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED ONE…OR MAYBE YOU WANT A BETTER EXAMPLE THAN THE ONE YOU ALREADY HAVE (OR HAD)…THIS IS THE BIKE FOR YOU. IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER.

THIS IS AN IMMACULATE AND PERFECTLY RUNNING EXAMPLE OF HONDA'S FAMED 6 CYLINDER 1050CC SUPERBIKE BEAST FROM THE LATE 70'S. 1979 WAS THE DEBUT YEAR OF THIS ENGINEERING MARVEL. CANDY RED AND BLACK.
IT'S 45 YEAR OLD MASTERPIECE HAS NO LEAKS, NO DRIPS, NO SMOKE. IT CRANKS IMMEDIATELY, IDLES AND REVS SMOOTH AND CRISP WITH NO HESITATIONS OR STUMBLING. THE EXHAUST NOTE OF THE 6 IS LIKE NON OTHER. TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ALLOWS SHIFTS WITH FAULTLESS PRECISION.

COSMETICALLY, THIS BIKE IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. FACTORY CANDY RED AND BLACK PAINT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT - ALL BRIGHTWORK/CHROME/STAINLESS/ALUMINUM IS FLAWLESS. THERE IS ZERO CORROSION OR DETERIORATION WHATSOEVER. ALL POWDER COATED AND ANODIZED FINISHES ARE EXEMPLARY. RUBBER AND VINYL PARTS HAVE NO DRY CRACKING OR FADING. ALL PLASTIC MOUNTING STUDS ON BODY PANELS ARE SOLID AND IN TACT. NO CRACKED, MISSING OR BROKEN PEGS OR STUDS. THERE IS NO PITTING TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS SUPERBIKE CLASSIC.

BRAND NEW TIRES MOUNTED AND BALANCED ONLY 60 MILES AGO ALONG WITH A BRAND NEW AGM BATTERY AND FLOAT CHARGING PIGTAIL. ALL FLUIDS INCLUDING FRONT AND REAR BRAKE FLUID WERE REFRESHED FLUSHED AND BLED. FRESH OIL AND FILTER CHANGED DURING SAME SERVICE. ALL LIGHTING AND SWITCHES WORK JUST AS THEY SHOULD. EXTERIOR FACTORY CANDY RED PAINT IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND CANDY PAINT/CLEAR COAT AS GOOD AS THIS BIKE - EVEN ON MODERN BIKES OR CURRENT LUXURY CARS. NO SWIRLS OR SIGNS OF CUTTING/BUFFING. INTERIOR OF FUEL TANK SHOWS NO DETERIORATION OR RUST. PETCOCK IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL.BRAKES ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND HAVE NO DRAG OR MUSHINESS. BIKE ROLLS AND WHEELS TURN EFFORTLESSLY. SUSPENSION IS COMPLIANT OVER ROUGH ROADS THANKS TO NEWLY UPGRADED PERIOD CORRECT REAR SHOCKS. IT CORNERS WELL THROUGH THE TWISTIES AND HOLDS ITS LINE WHILE AT HIGH SPEED ON FREEWAYS. NO WEAVING, WANDERING OR BOUNCING. NO SQUEEKS OR CREAKS FROM DRY CRUSTY BUSHINGS OR BEARINGS AT STEERING STEM OR SWINGARM PIVOT. FORK SEALS ARE WEEP FREE. THOUGH I TRY TO USE ONLY NON-ETHANOL FUEL IN THIS BIKE, NORMAL REGULAR UNLEADED IS PERFECTLY FINE.

IN ORDER TO INCREASE RELIABILITY OF THE CBX'S NON CONVENTIONAL AND SEVERELY OUTDATED OEM CHARGING SET UP, THIS BIKE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO A MORE MODERN AND FAR MORE RELIABLE ALTERNATOR STYLE CHARGING SYSTEM. VOLTAGE OUTPUT IS STEADY AND CONSISTENT AT IDLE AND THROUGHOUT THE REV RANGE. THE UPDATED CHARGING SYSTEM ALLOWS FOR EASIER AND LESS COSTLY REPAIR IF EVER NEEDED AND GREATLY REDUCES THE CHANCE OF A ROADSIDE VISIT DUE TO DEAD BATTERY. ADDITIONALLY THE FRONT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO PERIOD CORRECT HONDA STYLE MASTER CYLINDER. THE UPGRADED MASTER CYLINDER ALLOWS FOR MUCH BETTER FRONT BRAKE STOPPING POWER (FIRMER PAD BITE AND MORE PROGRESSIVE AND LINEAR LEVER FEEL) IT ALSO PUTS A STOP TO THE NOTORIOUS OEM CBX RESERVOIR FLUID LEAKS.

RETAINS THE ORIGINAL CENTERSTAND. HAS ORIGINAL TOOLKIT STORED IN ITS FACTORY TOOL KIT HOLDER BEHIND LEFT SIDE COVER. THIS MACHINE ALSO HAS ITS ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL AND VINYL PACKET/POUCH ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LEFT SIDE COVER.
COMPLETE GUAGE CLUSTER HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED BACK TO ORIGINAL BRAND NEW CONDITION (DUE TO THE ORIGINAL FLOURESCENT RED PAINT ON GUAGE FACES HAD FADED A BIT) ODOMETER WAS ZERO'D OUT AT THAT TIME AND NOW INDICATES APPROX 1525 MILES. SPEEDO, TACHO, ODO, GUAGE INDICATOR BULBS, ETC WORK FLAWLESSLY.

THIS CBX HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY CARED FOR OVER ITS ENTIRE LIFE BY A SEASONED AND PROFESSIONAL MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRY VETERAN. IT IS ROCK SOLID AND COULD BE ANYTHING FROM A WEEKEND RIDER - OR CONTINUING ITS LIFE AS A SHOW WINNING, MUSEUM WORTHY PIECE.
INCLUDED WITH SALE ARE VARIOUS PIECES OF CBX LITERATURE INCLUDING AN OEM WORKSHOP MANUAL, AN INCREDIBLY INFORMATIVE CBX SPECIFIC RESTORATION GUIDE, AND AN ORIGINAL MINT CONDITION HONDA 1979 CBX SALES BROCHURE (A POSTER SIZED FOLDED 6 PANEL BROCHURE).
