1979 CBX with 9 original miles
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320587301272&viewitem=

quote:

1979 HONDA CBX

9.5 Original Miles!
Titled in 1988 but Never Registered!
Offered by Original Owner!

I bought this bike new in March 1979 from Auburn Honda in Auburn, NY, along with another bike, a 500 CX. The idea was to use the 500 as my daily runner and put as few miles as possible on the CBX. The six was destined from day one to be kept in pristine condition in my climate-controlled print shop.

While I did get to ride the smaller bike, a broken ankle kept me from riding the CBX that year. I subsequently bought a VF1000R and two more bikes, all Hondas, so the CBX stayed unregistered. In 1988 I finally asked the NY-DMV for a title. By the time the title was issued in late August, it was too late to have the bike registered. In upstate New York, the riding season is pretty much over by late September. I don't remember what happened the following year, but the upshot is, I never got around to registering or riding this impressive motorcycle. By the early Nineties, it had become a cult bike and collector's item.

First, the bad news: The bike was put away wet. That means the gas tank and carbs will have to be cleaned before the CBX can be started or is anywhere near roadworthy. The tires, like everything else on this bike, are original and I wouldn't advise anyone to ride a single mile on 31-year old motorcycle tires. You'll also need a new battery. For what it's worth, I still have the original one.

Now the good news: This CBX is likely to be a lone survivor. It would surprise me to find more than a very few, if any, unregistered CBX motorcycles anywhere, with the possible exception of the silver model on display in the Honda Museum at Twin Ring Motegi. If anyone has seen that bike and recorded the mileage, I would be grateful for the info.

No part of the bike has ever been touched, no nicks, no dings, no scratches or tool-marks of any kind. The CBX is nearly as clean as when the dealer took it out of the crate and prepped it. I say nearly because the right black plastic side cover suffered a small crack during shipment from Auburn to Rochester. The dealer supplied a replacement cover and decal a week later. I have both the cracked cover and the replacement, plus the original decal and two extra NOS decals that I picked up on eBay. Also, the turn signal housings have a gray patina that wasn't there in 1979. Easily removed, but I left it there to preserve originality.

All the controls move freely, and the throttle springs back as quickly as when I took delivery. There's a huge difference between storing a vehicle in an unheated garage versus storing it in a climate-controlled environment.

http://photos.halsgarage.com/GalleryThumbnails.aspx?gallery=278587

There's a saying in collector car circles that you can restore a car many times, but it's original only once. When I sold my Dragonsnake Cobra at the 2006 Mecum Spring Classic for $1,525,000.00, one of the reasons it bid so high is because, in the 40 years that I owned the car, I kept it totally original. Down to the factory paint and racing graphics.

Restored '79 CBXs are now selling for around $12,000 to $15,000. Here is your chance to buy a completely original unregistered model for the same amount. This bike is so original, it still has 1979 air in the tires. It's also complete. The engine guards were dealer installed and come with it. The first time the tool kit has come out of the pouch is to take pictures for this listing. The user manual is mint, and I'll also include a well-used original shop manual, something I try to get for all my collector cars.

If you can arrange to drive or fly in to look at the bike before placing a bid, I would be happy to pick you up at the Rochester, NY airport. Call me or send a message through eBay a day before your arrival.

Thanks for bidding.

That's loving insane. You can buy one in Europe for a third of that price (mine). Don't do it though - you'll regret for a lifetime and then some more. Worst best MC ever. If you're challenged to understand the concept of "mixed feelings", the CBX1000 is the right bike to teach you.

Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

From how you describe it, I imagine that I could recreate the ownership experience of a CBX by looping that video of one doing a flyby over and over while reaching into a vat of rusty, sharp motorcycle components with a blindfold on.

That's actually really close. Just think about grabbing a real good pair of tits and smell the acid burn. Yeah, the weird acid burn smell originates from your hands -or what were your hands.

I've only lost about 5 metric liters of blood, bodily fluids and skin to my CBX so far, but I've heard and read testaments from people far worse off.

To give perspective to the above, I'll like to add that race tuning my GT750 was a laugh compared to just maintaining the CBX. Both makes me really appreciate my RD YPVSs.

poo poo aside. I have an evil plan with the CBX. Just handing it down seems alright to me. My youngest son kind of deserves it for all those late night diaper shifts.

Way too high priced. Also it's the mono-shock "Pro Link" version with really lovely rear end handling included. It also has 12Hp less than the original dual shock CBX.

Also, there shouldn't be anything black on the engine. No CBX was born with black cylinders and a black center block.

Oh. My.

"Needs work" is code for "replace everything".

Figure the following:

engine rebuild (top end only if you're lucky, full if you're not)
carb cleaned
fork seals are probably poo poo
poo poo fork seals probably leaked oil all over the brake pads
new brake pads
shock has probably never been serviced
potentially seized chain tensioner bolts
air filter
tires might be shot
tons of other poo poo that'll nickel and dime you to death

But dirtbikes are a loving riot :). If it's not THAT bad a 2t rebuild isn't the end of the world by any means. 400 bucks if it's got a title is a reasonable deal even if all of the above needs done.

I want to go for it, but the guy has not responded to my emails. I have mechanical experience, just not with higher strung two strokes. So labor does not scare me, just the cost of parts, or machining.
