I’m getting tempted again

[CBXRider]

He’s asking $9,800 and the mileage is under 18,000. Next year it will be 43 years old. New tires , rebuilt carbs etc, and from the pics I’ve seen so far, might be worth asking what he’ll take. Identical to my 82 that I sold with 106,000 miles except for color, which was a very very good touring rig. Of course, any breakdowns on the road could be disastrous money and time wise but the only thing that ever broke on my 82 was the low beam headlight filament. lol. It was in indoor storage for 34 years until last year. It’s also fairly close, in S Lake Tahoe about 250 miles away.

I've had alot of bikes, but I always seem to gravitate towards Gsxr1k's, just a favorite for whatever reason.
It's also a bike that, if you want one, shop around, you've got options, then go get one.
You, CBX's seem to be a favorite, and you've been bike shopping lately, but apparently nothing has been good enough to buy, and I understand that all too well.
CBX's aren't that common, and good examples, especially for sale, are even harder to come by...and all this you know well.
And, if that bike breaks down, it's not going to be much different in terms of a modern bike breaking down, it's either going to be a minor repair, or catastrophic failure...which of course is very uncommon.
I think "why not?" is the better question.
I can't think of any 'nots' when you find a bike you want, that's in good condition at the right price.
That one is a cool piece of history too, and another testiment to Honda's quality.
I've already decided what I'm adding next(used Goldwing)...and I bet you have too...CBX
lol

Very good choice.
If you got your mind set on a specific bike, don’t hesitate too long.
This would be the one for me but they are so damn rare in our region.

I guess only you can decide....

As you know, life is short and enjoying it has to be factored in....if this bike will make you happy....then go get it and enjoy it.....

I knew a guy that had a white one and bought it new, he sold it when his kids came along and always regretted that.....he never found another.

I had a silver 79 and a white 82. Combined mileage was 180,000+.

Buy it and use it for day trips so if it does breakdown you're not stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Have you seen his 'day trip' pics...they're a little middle of nowhere, lol
but Wuzza is still voted as 'Best Back Yard' for where he rides and photographs.

'Best Back Yard'

+1 @WuzzaCBXRider

[LC4CARL]

Do it!

:-)

My bike to buy would be a Kawasaki ZL900 Eliminator. Not sure why. But it made an impression on me in 1985, so it must be cool...

Man I can hear that thing from here!
Cbx is in your username so do it already ya chicken!

Thank you. It’s all around me, all it costs is gas and tires.

[sixpack577]

Thank you. It’s all around me, all it costs is gas and tires.

and we All appreciate seeing them

Terry, the next post I want to see is one of that silver CBX sitting next to your Busa and Z900......

[c10]

As said life is short . Do what makes you happy in your remaining riding years .
I'll ask though why did you sell your last CBX ?
think on that before buying this one .
The CBX is a remarkable motorcycle with character. However it's not light or a nimble 900RS .

[Bumblebee]

Jay likes them...

[RedBusarider]

I remember seeing them in a dealers showroom.
The only thing I found strange was the 85mph speedometer on a 6 cylinder motorcycle.
I know it was the Government that imposed that law - just don't know what they thought it would do.

Thankfully our Busa's added a 100mph to what the CBX speedometer had.

[CBXRider]

Must be that time of year. I visit the CBX owners website from time to time where I saw the 81. Now, two days later an 82 like my old one showed up for sale. Asking $11,000 and it has 33,000 miles. Also stored and recently brought back to life. I’ve sent messages to both owners so we’ll see, probably after new years.

Mine made the cover of the CBXPress for my 4,000 mile, 8 states in 10 days tour some years ago.

[CBXRider]

Don’t know how those pics got duplicated.

[Dai.]

I figure if it’s a motorcycle you’ve already owned and thinking about buying again, I’d say go for it as it’s had an impression.
