This is a BEAUTIFUL motorsickle. Be deservedly proud. Twenty years ago in the U.K. this model could barely be given away. It was nicknamed 'The Whale,' and I also heard it referred to as 'The Gas Guzzler,' and 'The Dinosaur.' I sung its praises but no-one listened. Then strangely (and I haven't a clue how it happened) it became almost overnight extremely desirable, and its value rose from £ 1,500. to £ 10,000. Most likely a celebrity was photographed on one? Whatever the reason, it will now be preserved in numbers as an icon. Quite rightly so! (Only this week on buying my latest I struggled between this model and the Honda Valkyrie. The latter won, and let's hope that I don't drop it).
Love it. We were putting those together new out of the crate when I worked for Honda. Mine was just like yours, I went to Denco 6/6 pipes. Thanks for the memories I rebuilt 2 of th 781/2 models with the bad petcocks and the massive failure caused by gas in the 5-6 cyl, causing a hydraulic situation. #6 rod would break and take all of the alternator housing with it, a semicircle cut :(
Nice resto Jim. I need to strip/redo the 'liner' that the previous owner did on my CBX. Can you provide me with the name of the outfit who did the gas tank lining? I like the even coverage that was obtained. Tx
I like it a lot. Where did you get the "new Sankei exhaust" please. Are the front forks from a CBX? Not to be picky but I notice the fork's top caps are not from a 1979 CBX
I believe it was called Northwest Vintage Motorcycle in Maine. The forks are original but the previous owner had air line on it so I used caps off a CB750.
Its a fibre braided rubber hose that goes to the actual reservoir mounted up high on the frame (actually the battery box) - that's the stock parts there....when new the hoses look black, but over time the fibre braid looses its color because the dye in the fibre braid washes out - same for the OEM oil cooler lines. I've owned 22 CBX's.... I still have 3 now

Absolutely stunning ! had the 1981 Honda CB 750 SuperSport in same condition.
Beautiful machine!!!
Thank you!
@@NemadjiOutdoors Welcome!!! : >)
What a lovely motorbike bro and u have maintained it so well.. it's my birth year
Beautiful job
Of course it's cold blooded, it's a Honda, but once it's warm, she will rock and roll.
That thing is beautiful! Great job on it.
What a beauty
@@PeterBachmayer-ProDrummer thank you! I miss her dearly.
yo that bike looks as if it just came off the dealership nice job on taking care of it
Thank you! I restored it myself although the engine was just cleaned up and a little maintenance on it.
Your bike looks fantastic, nice job restoring it. It's got carbs......it'll always be cold blooded.
Turn the idle mixture screws out a half to 3/4 of a turn and it will noticeably improve cold running and steady cruise.
Magnificent!
Que moto hermosa lo felicito al dueño lo una belleza qué la disfrutes
The handle bar grips are the same as my bike which is a Victory Hammer. They are very comfortable and work well.
I am kicking myself now. I sent it out to GTL in Hollywood, CA. Gas Tank Lining. Not cheap but a good investment.
Prettier than new
🖤🖤🖤 fabulosa 🖤🖤🖤
I really need one of these in my life :D :D
Well restored except the (strange and mismatched) rubber handlebar grips.
Awesome to see, apparently that bike will be worth 6 figures in 5 years, so a wonderful investment
The most gorgeous motorcycle ever made. Just ahead of the 916 Ducati.
Don't forget the Brough Superior, Norton Superior, Aerial Square Four, and my bike - the Valkyrie!
This bike, the CBX .. it is my next bike.
I will either keep what I have, or get a CBX. No other options.
Great job
Jim Clarke thank you!
Cool！
Thank you! I know they are not stock but we're way more comfortable.
Feel free to correct me but i think this bike was the first to break the 100HP mark.
Amazing bike , too bad you sold it . May you specify what brand you used to line the inside of the gas tank ,,( airplane epoxy ?)
Very nice ! ever consider selling it ?
Nice resto Jim. I need to strip/redo the 'liner' that the previous owner did on my CBX. Can you provide me with the name of the outfit who did the gas tank lining? I like the even coverage that was obtained. Tx
Richard Kean Thank you! I sent the gas tank to GTL Advantage in Hollywood,CA. They did a outstanding job and will use them again.
I like it a lot.
Where did you get the "new Sankei exhaust" please. Are the front forks from a CBX?

I'll buy it. Where are you? how much cash should I bring with me?
Sorry but it was sold a few years ago. Still kicking myself.
@@NemadjiOutdoors I understand.....In 30 plus years of riding I've kicked myself so many times.
Hello Jim please ....Where did you buy the seat? And the motor protection?
The seat was stock and the guards came with the bike when I bought it.
👍👍👍👍👍💐💐
Sorry but it sold last fall and is in the UK.
how much
please tell me how much
Hey Jimmy, this was so nice..I don't get it..why would you sell this?
Quer trocar ou vender?
Its a gas that the tyre on these is the same width as 125,s now
Can I get this bike
How much for yhe cbx reply please?
Sorry but I sold it awhile back.😞
Beautiful motorcycle. Carburetors are out of sync and it sounds like it's running on 4 out of 6 cylinders!!!
Why the stupid piece of plastic hose as rear brake fluid reservoir?, WHY????

sell it ti me 25,000
That grips are just terrible... :D
The stock ones were terrible and these Kuryakans were more comfortable. It was the one stock item I was willing to compromise on.
The tall handlebars look so... 🤮
They are stock handlebars.
@@NemadjiOutdoors In Europe the stock handlebars are a lot lower. I think you call it the "sports kit"
