Description

It is with a heavy heart I'm selling this historic classic by Honda. Being self employed, and in the present situation, I find myself in need of the money, and am relisting as I was let down by a previous buyer. The Honda CBX 1000 derives from Mike Hailwoods 250 six cylinder GP bike, and has remained one of Honda's classics since. This particular one is a very good original example, with only 12307 miles registered. It is mechanically sound, and has been lovingly restored to the point it is now. New chain, new tyres on replaced original wheel rims, carbs balanced and tuned by "Mr CBX", an enthusiastic specialist mechanic. The regulator has been replaced, however there is an intermittent electrical drain while riding. (This could be due to nearly 40 years of wiring ware). I can't spend any more on the restoration, and in my opinion, the only work needed is the electrical drain sourced, and others which will incur minor costs are to replace the saddle with original, (about £150 from David Silver Spares), front black indicators, (+/- £35 on DS Spares), and some plastic welding on the left side cover. The lug has become brittle and broken off. I have all paper work present including most of the MOT certificates. I also have the owners manual and workshop manual on cd.Please no "tyre kickers", this is a genuine bike for a genuine enthusiast, and I won't be drawn into a bidding war. The price is fair for a bike that is showing expected signs of a 40 year old motorcycle, and in different circumstances I would be asking for a lot more.At present, the bike is SORN, however I had it taxed and MOT'd and rode it last year in the summer. As of 08/2021 this bike will be tax exempt.Enjoy looking through the few pictures, and I look forward to talking with another enthusiast.
