This particular bike is a minter, and although they don't generally have a high value, this one is worth way more than the asking price.

Bargain allright.
I saw one in a NP bike shop albeit nearly 2.5yrs ago,was about 45000km,small crack in fairing and they wanted $4000 for it,had been for sale so long it had to be revined.Offered $3000 and still waiting for return call lol.

Spoke to Mike on the phone yesterday. I'm going to have a gander at it this afternoon rain, hail or sunshine. The reason I bought Gerty(discontinued jap market CB750FC2 ) new back in '86 was these had 16" front wheels. A fad all manufactures were going through at the time.

I hope you buy it, Bonez.
1. It is a bargain
2. You would be a suitable, appreciative owner, and...
3. Nice to keep it in the 'family'

Well went for a ride, saw it, rode it, it's done deal. Another bike for the Bones's dinosaur emporium. On the ride back home I was already thinking about the changes I'm going to make over time. Will get it sometime next week. Just have to convince her indoors for a cash top up (done- bless her little cotton socks).
It's probably had a few knocks and bangs (which bike hasn't at this age) since you saw it last MTRS but used this article as my guide.

Also shares a few consumables with Gerty and Gerble. Just need to come up with a name it. Hmmm CuBiX maybe.

I saw it last weekend...it looked fine enough to me then. Glad you bought it though. It seems a fine bike. And for the money...you should be ashamed for taking advantage. :bleh:

It's a goodie alright, a good fit too. When firing it up to go for a scoot she dropped an allen screw just to let me know she needed some little Bonez luvin.:devil2:
It was nice to meet Mike and family also.

Basic engine layout, but with cable actuated as opposed to hydraulic actuated clutch with 5 speed as opposed to the cbx750s 6 speed gearbox, is in the Cb750 Nighthawk range which is still in production http://www.honda.co.jp/motor-lineup/cb750/special/index.html. There was also an HRC kit for them( which had a dry clutch, slide carbs, 4-1 exhaust and did away with the hydraulic tappet setup) for endurance events which I wasn't aware of.
Might be able drag the stepson on a few runs or bring Connie on the Friday ride occationally. Found a UK ad for one thats done 80,000 miles so it seems you can get a reasonnable run from them if looked after. I'm now quite well aware of the issues these can have. At the time Honda must've had large share holdings in a chain manufacturer.
Now that I think about it I didn't get the CBX into 6th gear............................
