I hadn’t heard. Don’t know why they’d risk it although the originals are fetching three times what their MSRP was.

Isn't this just a Suzuki GS1200SS with a CBX motor installed?

A friend of mine had a CBX for years, he came upon another one for sale and snapped it up, only then did he realise his original one was slower and vibrated more...

He took the engine out for a re-fresh and found one piston and connecting rod missing. I guess the previous owner had a problem and fixed it by turning it into a 5 cylinder...he put around 40,000kms on that bike missing a piston...that's an testament to how tough they were.

 

[WuzzaCBXRider]

That’s surprising. Didn’t he ever change plugs?

 

[Bumblebee]

That's a good question...he was surprised by this too so I figure he didn't. It actually ran pretty good and if he never bought the other one, he probably would have never knew the difference...

I got home on four cylinders one time when a coil went south. Still ran smooth, just not very powerful. My 82 X had a smoother running motor and dynoed at 5 more ponies than my 79 which was kinda rough until I twisted the grip.

 

[Bumblebee]

I know the bike he picked up was the half faired model with factory bags-it was silver if I recall. It was the '79 that was missing a piston.

Man that’s gotta be dated, look at those helmets! I don’t think Graeme won any on his CBX. The Honda to beat in those days was the CB1100R. 3rd place was as high as a CBX ever got in a Castro’s six hour and that was in the first year of production, 1978.

Not sure who this is but man that's a whole lotta motor!

If they bring out a new CBX, I will be getting one. I still miss my 79.
