Honda, Honda CBX, 1980
The Honda CBX made its debut as the inline 6-cylinder superbike of superbikes in 1979. This all-original example embodies the pure sport spirit of the most powerful motorcycle in its time. Honda created the superbike class. Shoichiro Irimajiri led up the clandestine effort and infused the CBX prototype with Honda racing heritage. With six cylinders, four camshafts and 24 valves, the 250cc engine created 65 HP at an astonishing 20,000 RPM. The production CBX landed. the air-cooled inline 6-cylinder engine produced over 100 HP at 9,500 RPM with dual overhead camshafts, 24 valves and 6-into-2 exhaust. Twin-rotor front and single-rotor rear disc brakes brought the superbike back down from 140 MPH top speed. “Cycle” magazine backed up the factory numbers with a series of 11-second quarter-mile tests and described the unmatched power and sound of the inherently balanced inline 6-cylinder as magical. With its naked sport bike styling, Black paint and Comstar wheels, this 1980 CBX carries the original Super Sport soul. Evolutionary suspension and brake improvements coincided with a transition from a superbike to sports tourer with available full fairing and hard bags, and 1982 marked the end of the line of the 6-cylinder CBX.
