The '''Honda CBX''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] from 1979 to 1982. | |||

Honda's six-cylinder beast sent the Japanese firm roaring into the 1980s. [[Honda|Honda]] has never been shy when it comes to showing off its technological prowess. The [[Honda NR750|NR750]], [[Honda CX500T|Honda CX500 Turbo]], [[Honda Rune|Rune]] and more pay testament to that. But one of its first, biggest and, arguably best moments was the launch of the CBX1000Z six cylinder in 1978. | |||
All Honda's mechanical know-how went into the engine to make the 24-valve, DOHC behemoth a super smooth, torque-laden beast. | |||
It's a shame more technical authority wasn't stamped into the rolling chassis; the lack of braking power didn't mix with a bike that weighed in at 272.1kg fully gassed. As a result, any sporting pretensions didn't last long and soon enough the fully faired CBX1000B/C tourer rolled up complete with [[monoshock]] rear suspension and decent brakes to match the performance. | |||
In terms of desirability the first CBX1000Z is the one to go for, preferably in vibrant red rather than the dowdier silver option. | |||
== Honda CBX1000Z Specification == | |||
*Engine - Air/oil-cooled inline six, 1047cc | |||
*Power - 105 bhp @ 9000rpm | |||
*Top Speed - 130mph | |||

It was the original 1979 CBX, though, that demonstrated once again the sheer audacity of Honda's engineering. Building a six was one thing, but putting one into mass production, one that lived up to Honda's standards of performance, durability and ease of use, was a marvel. The CBX is one of a long line of Honda motorcycles that amounted to a thrown gauntlet, a two-wheel dare that said, "Top this!" To this day, nobody has. | It was the original 1979 CBX, though, that demonstrated once again the sheer audacity of Honda's engineering.
