Honda Other description

There is something special about an inline six cyl motorcycle, and even today - 0+ years later - a six cyl bike is still rather rare amp; exotic. The CBX is already a collector bike, and part of any serious bucket-list must-own bike collection. The 1st year CBX is probably the most desirable in this respect, because the touring accessories that were added in later years didn't make the bike sexier, and many people prefer the look of the natural cast aluminum rather than the later black engines. No disrespect to any of them however - they are ALL worth owning! : -) Offered for auction is this 1979 Honda CBX, 1 of two that I own. This machine was parked a little over a year ago due to leaks in the front and rear master cylinders - which seems to be a weakness on these bikes - but otherwise it was a fine running bike. I purchased it to make a cafe racer out of it, with the thought of duplicating the look of a 1960s Honda racing bike. But I'm currently in the middle of a Harley XR750 powered Norton featherbed cafe racer build, which has turned into a time consuming money pit of a project - so I don't think that another cafe racer project is going to happen. And the truth is that I think this CBX is just too nice to cut up into a cafe racer - it deserves to be restored amp; back out on the road. I already have 1 bone stock restored 1979 CBX, so it's time to let this 1 go. This bike still has the original exhaust system and the original 1 yr only seat tail section. The exhaust is in overall terrific shape, but someone has removed the end baffle from the muffler for a better sound. The seat tail section has not had a hole blown into it amp; been repaired as many 1979 tail sections seem to suffer, which is rare.

2012 Honda NC700X and NC700S Debut in Canada – MSRP Expected to be “Under $9000″ [Video]

Sat, 10 Dec 2011

There are no plans yet to bring either model to the U.S., but Honda is bringing its new NC700S and NC700X models to Canada for the summer of 2012. American Honda will however, likely be keeping a close eye on how the new models do with its northern neighbor (or perhaps “neighbour”) before deciding whether to import the NC700 models stateside. Making their North American debuts at the 2011 Toronto Motorcycle Show, the naked standard NC700S and the more adventure-touring styled NC700X represent a new product family for Honda, sharing the same frame and 670cc parallel Twin engine with each other and the Honda Integra scooter-motorcycle crossover (speaking of which, there are no plans for the Integra to come to either the U.S.
