Lee Chambers Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) Hi all, well I have given these bad boys a winter service and they are in hibernation until the spring. "Let the good times roll" LOL! Having completed all three of these builds, I thought it would be cool to see them all together, enjoy the photos.

AngstROM Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Now these cookies look utterly 1:1! Three stops on Memory Lane: never actually owned any one of 'em but rode the 750 once or twice and saw a few of the others around town. Happy days...but was that CX a bizarre pick for the 'OBRUT' treatment or what??! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, no mate at that time Honda were trying to score sales off the other manufactures who had some seriously good products,hence we got the oval piston NR700 and the V4,s,i had a VF1000 BOL,DOR for a short while now that bike was bizarre,great engine but a chassis that only liked straight lines,i sold it quickly! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure most of these 1 Litre behemoths were aimed at the U.S. market -of course, there are NO bends on any American roads! What else would explain a Harley? IIRC, the CX was the first with a factory hair drier bolt-on to hit the showrooms; I still can't understand why (given their bulging product portfolio), Honda used everyone's favourite dispatch hack to blow. Turbo Acty, anyone...? Now, an original CBX with a turbo...that would have been awesome. Unrideable, naturally, but that's hardly the point...!

cngaero Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 They're brilliant Lee. It's just like a scene from the local showroom where I used to frequently drool . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
