I had 3 ÇBX's. First a customized '79, which was NOT a good handling bike. Then over the years, two of the 81 Touring versions. One of which I kept for 20 years and ran it up over 200,000 kms.

SX1100 was a test bike trial I did while bike shopping and that bike had some SERIOUS handle bar pull. I considered it kinda dangerous & it was bulky to drive at slow speeds. So I bought a KAW 1000 LTD.

Awesome looking motorcycle in its naked style, would buy one if Honda made them again, rear tyre looks tiny compared to modern bikes.no wonder Mick Cole had tyre problems in the 6 hour at Amaroo.<br>RIP the mighty CBX.

I owned a CBX with 6 into 1jetted for no baffle. It was a wild ride. Also had V65 Sabre it was overall better bike. Also V65 Magna .

How about doing a segment on the Kawasaki 650 twin? They’ve built tens of thousands of them. They’ve been converted into cafe racer’s, touring bikes, and flat track racers. 😊What are the weak spots that need to be addressed in advance?

Cost, poor sales, changing bike designs.
