Super Rare Pre-Production 1978 CBX1000 Super Sport

[jenkinsm]

Get your hands on this super rare, pre-production 1978 CBX 1000 Super Sport built in April 1978. The bike comes with ownership. Not too many of these 1978 bikes around…very hard to find. Located in Toronto, Ontario.

This is a great bike...pure adrenaline! 1047cc DOHC twin cam, 24-valve inline six linked to a 5-speed transmission with chain drive. Pushing out 105 bhp with a top speed north of 220 km/h. Great bike to ride...plenty of power and super smooth. The bike is equipped with FVQ dual rear suspension and air-adjustable front forks with cross drilled dual front disc brakes. Tires are not great and will probably need replacement. But the rest of the mechanicals are great.

The bike turns over but won’t run. Has great compression, and plenty of spark…but needs a carb cleaning from sitting for a few years. The original exhaust has been replaced with a Kerker 6 into 2 exhaust. I still have the original…which has been patched. All of the lights, signals, gauges, and horn work.

The bike has the original paint…which is in great shape. The plastics are perfect. No rust on the frame. The seat is absolutely mint. Same with the back rest. The bike has never been dropped.

For $4500 (obo) this bike is yours. The bike can be delivered in the GTA for no charge…and outside of the GTA is negotiable. This machine won't need much to run.

Come and get your hands on this wicked and rare pre-production machine.

I would love to chop that thing up into a brat style. sixes are amazing looking, but I think my 360 would get nervous sitting next to it in the garage alone at night.

Clean bike!

Yeah, but not one for the chopping block imo. I love cbx's and the earlier the better. I'm not much of a resto nut, but...
Great bike. Should sell.

I'd kick your ass for chopping that thing up.


Just sayin.

It's a 78 model... it is actually kind of rare. The model as a whole is not terribly rare, but it is an expensive bike in good nick no matter what year.

The pre-production models are quite rare...you have to be a CBX nut to appreciate that.

Yeah, this is like the equivalent of the sand-cast so far as CBX is concerned. And anybody who would consider treating this bike just like any other CBX, let alone chop the thing, should be FLOGGED. I hope you've listed it on the CB1100F.net forums, as well as every CBX forum out there! So what if they don't perform as well as the CB900F? (If anybody wonders why they stopped making six cylinder bikes, that`s your answer.) The whole point is that it's a six cylinder. That trumps just about anything else on any other bike. You should look into the serial number, and find out if this bike is the one in the picture of Irimajiri crouching next to his creation and wearing cords and that cool shirt with the wide lapels. You know the one? You DEFINITELY need to put this bike's VIN number on the CBX VIN registry pages on all of the fan sites. It's kinda funny you know, people will forever say the sand-cast is this uber special bike, but who's to say in a few years the CBX will be a bike that everybody worships as this milestone of 20th century technology....

Super jealous here. I'm more of a DOHC four fan than anything else, but I love the CBX too, by association. What I would really love to see, is a Four built on the CBX layout with the alternator behind the cylinders etc, and the stressed member frame etc. THAT would have been a heck of a lot sportier than the standard DOHC supersports. I mean, I like the four's chassis and all, in a SOHC kind of way though. The CBX chassis is just better suited to the whole futuristic design changes they made with this generation of Hondas. Kind of a rivalry between the two types, but I think if they poured all of their efforts into one design, they would have absolutely stomped on the competition. I mean, as sixes go, it's a class above the KZ1300, and performance wise it's the pick of the litter, it just doesn't have the sex appeal of the Benelli Sei. Which is itself supposedly a rip off of the CB500.... Fuck it, if I use my imagination then all there is to say is we all got burned when they chose not to mass market the RC166.

Pretty good consolation prize at least. Ha ha.
