Not to be a dick but this is completely wrong. The gl is actually the stepchild of the cx, and they have the same engine. Gl is is just a cx dresser.deviant said:I think the biggest issue with Honda's design of the CX frame (at least the rear of it) is it's basically a GL frame. Much better suited for the boxer engine, which is clearly a prettier motor. I've also noticed there seems to be a link between GL lovers and CX lovers. The CX is somewhat of an ugly step child to the GL.
where are you getting this bad info?https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CX_seriesdeviant said:The GL came first. The GL is a boxer and the CX is a v twin

Oh well in that case my electric scooter has tires.deviant said:I was referring to the entire GL line. The rear frame of the CX is very much like the rear frame if a GL1000 too. I was not specifically referring to a GL500. I wasn't referring to the Silverwing at all.

No thats not what im saying. To me comparing a goldwing and a cx is out of context, just like my scooter comment, which is what made it hard to interpret the meaning of my message.deviant said:Seriously? Look at the frames. It's a complete departure for Honda. And it's unique to those three lines of bikes. But I get it. Frame geometry is irrelevant to how a bike looks. Just like tires.

Agreed.deviant said:They are not out of context come from a design perspective. Shoichiro Irimajiri designed the GL1000. Honda put him to the task of designing a lower weighted, smaller displacement version. He came up with the CX. They are designed by the same designer, and thus have common elements.

got myself a similar deluxe model with only 11,000 miles on it in the UK for £300 (~$480)jbeebe said:
