    I think that is a potential bargain.
    Thing is it was not a special or iconic CBX model like the first gen ones for example. Now find one of them with 86 miles on it .....

    It is though IMO perhaps potentially the best real world version of the bike by Honda -set up as a big mile eater. I remember swooning over them in the show room.

    the CBX came out a wee while after bike collecting became popular, hence there are a few around that people brought new just for that reason.
    over time i've seen three brand new boneville silver jubilee specials in nz, same reason.

    If I owned one I would ride the fuck out of it. Still a bucket list bike for me if anyone's got lme they would let me ride

    Yeah you'd probably find an owner some little bit above you.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    So jumps out of first, but he doesn't want to fix it because that will lead to needing to fix "other bits".. And the brakes are knackered.. Far out!

    14K buy now?? Someone better tell him he's dreaming.
    I used to have a '77 SD that was rough with no rego too but at least it was the original colour and stayed in first gear.
    Sold it for about a third of what he's expecting.

    They are a $5000 bike to me because a mate bought one for that coin back in the day. Red with white stripe and had a tiger head on the sidecover. Badass!
