Nice Video! let me just say this from somebody who has gone full circle in the modding/custom scene in both the car world and to some extent in the motorcycle world, and as an automotive engineer working at a major OEM. You're right, there is a reason you don't see more custom builds, not only are they massive money pits, but you will also never achieve OEM level results, no matter how good the quality of your parts or work is. Custom builds will never be competitive on the track and will always be massively unreliable. We spend millions of man hours engineering stuff and still get it wrong sometimes. That being said, I can also state with confidence from personal experience that nothing... Not even an Italian exotic comes close to the pleasure of riding/driving something you built yourself, just know what you're getting into and the process of building itself can be a mind expanding process.
Also, if you do make a build out of what you flashed, be ready for a lot of hate from the fanboys, it is after all the genesis of the range up until recently... LOL ;-) (I have a fully restored successor to that, not sure if you caught my comment/photo on the other video)
Well said, had to pin it
- The illestrator - wow... I’m honored :-)
@@Theillestrator1050 bro you have great knowledge about this legendary bike
Dude! That was excellent! You are rapidly becoming my favorite bike channel. Great work... Respect. :-)
I'm honored
You're one of the best motorcycle youtubers out right now. The content is always fire
I know this is an older video, but damn. The witty remarks, perfect editing, gorgeous music choice of classical and blended beautifully behind the narration all while filling the video with useful and amusing content about the CBX hitting every inch from the sound to the engine to the cosmetics to the F1 aspects. It made 10 minutes seem like 5. Extremely well done. You sir have EARNED this subscriber. Cheers mate!
I've got a 1998 Honda VFR800 and I've definitely spent twice the money on mods than what the bike cost me to buy. Swapped the whole front end(cbr954), cbr929 rear shock, Power Commander V, LED lights and replacing electrical wiring, brake lines and more. I still haven't finished the tuning and yet to even start the cosmetic side of mods... But its a bike I love to ride and love the reward of when it comes together and puts a smile on my face. It's definitely an addiction.
Hearing the sound gets me excited again. I need to rebuild mine. It's been sitting for 20 years.
Love the sound; a lot like old school Grand Prix or F1 racing... purely unique - when it comes to racing this is the only sound that resonates true racing.
The CBX literally gives me goosebumps to hear it go through the gears. I owned a 79 Silver CBX in the early 1990s. I regret selling it to this day. These bikes make music that NO self respecting motor head can disrespect. Thanks for you upload and all the luck with your build!
I hear your passion, and it makes me love bikes all the more. Excellent content man.
Honda needs to remake this bike. It’ll be successful
To be honest with you, it would come down to the price of it. And with the R&D needed to develop a new one, it probably wouldn't be cheap and they definitely wouldn't make it faster than the CBR1000 cause that's a recipe for internal competition.
So to be honest I'd doubt the success of a revival of a bike that wasn't super popular to begin with
A new CBX might have a chance w/ a single shock in the back, modern fuel injection, etc.
This rules. Love how thorough you are! I know it has to take an insane amount of time putting videos like this together.
😁 a whole lot, but I like doing it so its all worth it!
Need more clips of it just going through those gears, ear candy
Man, you started talking about your project and "with the money I spent I could have..."
I FELT that shit in my soul.
Great video! Nicely done on how you did back to back sound comparisons with the CBX and the V12 Ferrari!
My favorite memory of a CBX1000 was actually a "slo-mo" routine carried out by a true biker bad ass (rider unknown). While enjoying our weekend ritual of cruising through the twisty winding one way road of Flushing Park MI. this guy pulls behind us on this CBX1000 with it's HUGE engine...falls behind by 3 car lengths, pops a perfect 45° wheelie then revs the engine, pops the clutch and smokes the tire until the front tire so very slowly & gracefully comes down, touches off....then does it again and again treating the park to a bad ass demo by a bad ass bike...SO COOL!
I don’t even own a license to ride a bike, let alone a bike itself, and from the very first time I saw the cbx online and heard that engine and exhaust note, it’s been my absolute favorite bike of all time. I’ve always wanted something that sounds like a pissed off flatplane v8 or a v12 from the glory days of F1 and I’ve looked no further than this. I’ve also always been into the look of a cafe racer with modern flair and the examples you’ve shown here are EXACTLY what I’m after. Thanks for sharing bro, this was a great pair of videos 🙏🏾. Great channel too!
Since I first saw the CBX I wanted one. Finally, in the late 80s I acquired an 82 and then a 79 CBX. I still have them and at one point they were the only bikes I kept when I thinned out my vehicles. They are keepers! You are right.
Never knew of this bike until you introduced it on your channel. Definitely an amazing bike and the sound is pure bliss.
Your videos man... editing, voiceovers, humor, information... seriously wicked good. I think yours is one of the rare channels where I’m actually gonna go back and watch everything and then stay up to date! Keep up the killer work boss!
Some where, off in the distance, I see a CBX to Kill for. I'm waiting! Great Video!
You are moving to my favorite bike channel for sure, you do a great job on videos and bike work man.
Great job on the videos. By far my favorite channel. I have already customized a K-75 and now I'm working on a K-1100. Your videos have been extremely helpful for me and set the bar. Thanks...
I've been watching for over a year now and your videos just keep getting better and better.
I owned a 1979 CBX and also a 1979 Kawasaki 1300cc 6cyl., when new both bikes had their sweet sport but the CBX was my favorite the first time I lifted the front wheel it came down hard but even with stock pipes it sounds incredible. My plan is finding the right one, wish I kept the one I had!
The Kawasaki 1300 was setup with the fairing & hard bags rode from Ohio to Nova Scotia with a couple of friends R90S BMW & a Honda Goldwing, there was nothing that the Kawasaki couldn’t do but pass a gas station I could literally cruise at any speed. Great memories!
Thank you. You GET it, not just the beautiful engine music, but you get entertainment/TV. Do that, get bike(s).
Hands down best bike channel out!
😁😁
2:28 dat sound 😵
Excellent edits as always.
Bought me a sticker for my sticker table too 👍 Keep on keepin on dude!
Thanks man!
Man, I would LOVE to have this bike! The sound alone is worth the price of admission!
Was so much fun watching. You're a really good storyteller. Dope. Got yourself a subscriber. Peace!
Bike and F1 car sounds in the same segment?!
....... And subscribed
😂 welcome aboard
I have owned a CBX for 25 years, they are everything you say and more, please note came with 6 into 2 as standard. Mine has a MAC 6 into 2 and sounds great, the original MAC I had had a bad habit of shedding baffles, and it doesn't improve the sound. I prefer mine standard, but wherever you go it turns heads, even when not moving.
For sure, no matter the exhaust set up, its still a gem!
I recently subscribed, and I did so because you are obviously smart, passionate, knowledgeable, articulate, concise, have a sense of humor, and do everything to the best of your ability. Kudos to you, sir.
Nice video, I had to have a cbx 30 years ago, black 1980 with 6 into 1 and no baffle. Wife could hear me hot rodding 5 miles from home.still have it but i parked it about 10 years ago after a deer hit me with speedo past the 85 mark. I PICKED UP A 1979 CBX ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO THAT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE, JUST LOOKING AT THEM MAKES ME HAPPY.
Proud owner myself of the ANGRY X Restored Drag bike very close to factory look keeping the Kosman Wire wheels a Russ Collins exhaust and lowered 3" Bike is bad to the bone and very popular , Thanks for the Vid great narration ! Gearheadgreg
excellent video. I remember ads for the CBX when I was growing up but it never caught my eye. Thanks for the education. Top Notch work.
When I was a kid (in the early 80's) I had a poster on my wall that showed all the (then) current models, the CBX was top of the tree. I wish I still had that poster :o)
I've never been able to ride mine without the baffle unbelievable sound makes an IndyCar or F1 sound like a go kart
How do you not have 1 million subs? Great job man!
I see that cheeky Supersport 900. I see it ;-]
Great video as always! Can't wait for more content on the K bike. And more vlogs with your friend!
Apparently, not many people noticed.
😂 I'm interested in that ducatista life style
@@Theillestrator1050 ngl it's pretty great. Can't see myself riding any other brand on the street. the track is another subject matter however.
@@Theillestrator1050
You miss the SV, don't you? ;)
A little 😂
You're momma raised a smart boy! What you said about how what you do reflects who you are, is 💯% bang on! Your channel... your custom bike(s)... the way you choose to present everything... that's your *Brand!* Now, more than ever before in the history of mankind, branding is extremely important.
My assessment: You're going to be successful, because you've got a unique style, which blends humour, nostalgia, quality... and *cool* all in one.
Give your momma a hug; and let her know you're going to be alright! 🍺😋👍
Thanks a lot for the kind words bro, reassurance goes a long way 🤘🏾
@@Theillestrator1050
You deserve it! 🍺😋👍
Your comparison between the f1 car and the bike was excellent.
I remember growing up in the late 70s/ early 80s, my next door neighbor bought a Honda CBX, he revved the engine, rattled the windows, pissed off my parents, me??? I ran out of the house to check it out, I'll never forget that day, I had a motorcycle years later but the only thing my skinny young ass (back then 😂)could handle was a Honda CM 450, it was ok and kept me out of trouble but I'll never forget that CBX and the crazy sound it made😊
Keep up the great videos. I'm eagerly awaiting the next K bike vid
Dreams are incentive work hard and stay focused! That being said ,the sound of the cbx1000 is better than sex ..how could u ride it with out taping it out from every stop lite ..found your channel by accident and really liked this vid! The only thing I could complain about is not enough audio of that perfect sounding cbx 1000 ..u could have not said a word because it speaks for itself .good luck with your build !
I saw a CBX in the wild in Provo, Utah of all places. I was at a stop light and the guy was turning right and i just watched him until he disappeared as he was going the opposite way as me. it just has such a sweet sound and I want one.
Dude, I feel like you say everything I think. I am finishing up an r80 Scrambler build because I wanted a "custom" looking g/s. I understand spending too much to make it yours, I constantly am thinking about the next project and have often thought that a CBX is the perfect engine donor. Please keep doing what you are doing, I love watching what you create.
You got it, thanks for watching
The CBX. A bonified masterpiece.
Great job. The CBX brings back memories to me from when I was a kid (around '79/'80 ) and my Dad would take to watch production bike races (in the UK). There was racer who had a CBX painted all metallic green with the Hulk on its tank. Coming out the hairpin he would always wheelie it up the straight for a bit. Awesome.
Hey, random thought, bling out the K100 to make it a 100K :o)
😂 time to whip out the gold I have laying around
Hi, I bought my CBX new, left over in a crate in '80 at a cost of $3100 cash. I owned it for 20 years and gave it to my brother. He had it since '98, I retained ownership of it earlier this year. My brother passed away 2 years ago, he left it out in the weather years before he passed, made me ill to see it in the condition its in, it was running when I gave it to him. It is currently sitting in my garage, I would like to get it running, just need the funds to start. Great videos, I had open 6 into 1 pipes on it, it would rattle windows and set off alarms going through town, it was great.
I can't get over how INSANE that bike sounds. F1 for real.
Good stuff man! Love the CBX, and it's videos like yours that are putting them on the radar again.
Well done my friend. I respect the work you put into your builds and videos. Loved this 2 part series.
Cheers from Toronto
oh man you are in for it! About to buy my cbx in a day or so...yeeaaahhh boy!
Mr.TopGear of Motorbike
Awesome Content as Always👌
That's mighty praise! Thank you
You're a man of culture as well and you sounded like Will Smith 😁👍🇵🇭
Awesome video man, subscribed!
Awesome video as always! Gotta say while I'm usually the type to prefer the original look of 80's bikes, some of those builds look gorgeous. Can't wait to see how your build turns out, keep up the awesome work!
Thanks man
It sounds amazing. And some of the modified ones looked great. But it's all about the sound.
Loved the video, owned a 80 till a couple of years ago, nothing could compare to the sound , as I had 6 into 2 kerker. It was balanced good for riding on the back tire through about 3 gears !!!
What A hooligan!
Bro you’re my favorite motor (cycle or car) channel our there right now and I appreciate the hell out of these kind of videos and I’m really looking forward to seeing how the brick turns out because it’s lookin cleeeaaaan my guy
Thanks!
That JDmax CBX looks amazing, but honestly that sound makes up for everything.
I wanna hear a 6 Cylinder 600cc, i wanna hear 6 x 100cc pistons going mental and its redline...
Hell yeah! Love the info, as well as the insight. I've been in love with the late 80's nighthawk (box) bikes. Will definitely use your rebuild enthusiasm to keep looking...thank you!
I love the cbx 1000. One of my favorite bikes and definitely my favorite honda. The styling, the exhaust note, it's just a pretty machine in all regards.
I need 2 of them! 1 to build into a cafe racer with a modern sport bike suspension wheels and brakes. And another to swap the CBX engine into a modern liter bike chassis! The bike itself is worthless to me, but that engine! That sound! Makes it a must own someday!
Great video mate. I appreciate all the work that you put in. It makes them a joy to watch
Saw a cbx at Detroit autorama and was drooling when i saw the 6 exhaust. Was my first time seeing one and i fell in love instantly.
The quality of your videos is awesome and really unique
Thanks 💪🏾
love the side by side videos of the bike's sound and car sound....
Great video and voice-over narration, and really interesting facts. Man that sound...unique and undeniable.
CBX's and spare parts are drying up. I remember buying up all that I could in the 80's and 90's. I could get a beat up runner 79 for as little as $300. At one time I had 9 79's, an 80, two 81's and an 82 in my sheds. I've owned 24 CBX's over the span 1983 - today (I still have my first - a now mint restored early 79 with a rare SuperTrapp Stainless 6-2, my mild custom 81 tourer, an I am building a modded 79, plus have another 79 frame, and two more spare engines and shelves of new and used parts. And with how rare and expensive the stuff is getting, plus Honda having basically discontinued nearly every part, I won't even sell a bolt from my collection now, except maybe to another CBX owner to keep his on the road.
I first heard this bike leaving a car show when I was 18 I didn't know what it was. I'm 32 now and five years ago I came across a vid on RUclips called f1 sounding bike or something like that. Anyway I clicked and as soon as I heard the bike full throttle I got goosebumps and like flashes of the bike I saw that day back when I was a teenager just flooded my brain. Since then I've been hooked on this beautiful machine. And like you I too dream about owning one someday with the same mods.
We will get there one day!
I am currently in the process of building a CBX I have the 1979 gas tank a triple tree and the complete engine to build just waiting to get a titled frame of course it will be a street fighter with newer suspension from newer year donor models, this is also my dream bike i am also currently doing a 1985 Yamaha FJ 1100 that is now a 1500 with Yamaha R1 suspension will hit you pics when done ! Hope you get your dream 6 !!!!😜😜
With a custom frame, you could add any type of forks, subframe, swingarm,....etc you want. The motor is the heart, so if you're serious enough (have enough cash), you can put a unique body around that heart for a special build. I'm currently have a CBX build and hope to have it finished this summer.
How's the build going?
@@Theillestrator1050 It's going slow. Bought another bike recently so it got sidetracked. I'm looking to reduce some more weight by going carbon fiber rear subframe and wheels, and potentially CF gas tank (if I dont get sidetracked with some other bike or project). Currently the front forks, front and rear axle, triple clamp, controls, brakes are from a last gen CBR10000rr. The gas tank, swingarm, shock, linkage, rear master cylinder and a couple other items will be from a 959 Panigale. The rest is to be decided.
@@Theillestrator1050 ohhh and obviously the most important thing.....I might "attempt" to fabricate my own titanium 6 into 6 exhaust or find a competant shop for the task. I want this bike to weight in the low 400lb's. I can see the finished product and it would be so different from any Custom CBX builds out there.
ohh man! this bike is unreal! that sound. its so dirty jesus!!! another great video man! keep up the great work!!
Why does that sound make me smile? Man it's the " dogs bollocks!!" as we say in the UK
ive own a 1979 cbx (silver) and i drag race 1980 cbx (black) 1/8 tracks, love the six pack motor, nothing like them 6 into 1 header open. 1 gear got thru 1/8 MILE @98 MPH, Tight as a banjo string, shifting to 2nd did help my time, i all most died on that bike a few times, it not for the faint heart , she a heart pumper for sure, bike was machine drilled everything to lose weight , hard tail with wheelie bar pengle, on a cold track it was a wild ride , ppl call me rocketman LOL
Love your reviews. My biking friends who were around when these were being sold tell me they were absolute dogs, but they sure sound cool!
You can say that again!
I ride a bmw r1150gs just because i had an accident with my honda cbr 600 my back hurts quickly on a bike , only not on my current r1150gs i would mod the cbx1000 in a way it looks and handles like my current bike so i would be aible to enjoy the sound of the cbx1000 and to be aible to ride it myself ,,, DREAMS,,, we all need them! Great channel love you’re work
Damn man, I'm sharing this with all my friends. You deserve it. That's the same idea I have on my mind as well. Same budget unfortunately haha! Keep it going, I'm looking forward for the follow-up on the flying brick!
We'll snatch up a cbx one day 😏
The K Is looking hella good keep it up !
Why thank you illestrator, I will indeed have a great week. :D
bro,thank you for these videos! it was a pleassure to learn about CBX and always awesome delivery.
PS: k100 definately dig it. best of luck with gettinh it just the way you want ✌👍
That bike at 6:55 is amazing, every time I look at it I see more detail. Should be on a showroom floor... make it happen Honda!
I had two 1982 CBX Supersport touring bikes. Wonderful machines. Damn those carbs!
Just bought one in Jersey for $1000!!! Pretty pumped for the build.
Bro thank you for making these videos. Love that bike!!
Holy shittttt. My cellphone speakers almost died from trying to get that sound out. I had to connect it to the stereo to even fathom what kinda sound this thing puts out 0.o
I am really looking forward to you gaining enough experience (with that sweet k bike) so you can get yourself one of these babes and mod it to your liking
I wanna get out and ride the K100 nowwwwww
@@Theillestrator1050 I feel ya :c I wanna ride my project bike so bad too. But I'm dealing with rust everywhere one every piece of the fairings :|
But I bet you'll be there someday. and when you are it will feel even better
One of the best sounding bikes ever made
Great video! I appreciate your opinion on the CBX and bikes in general, great minds think alike!! Keep up the great work -subscribed today-
Your passion is inspiring
This bike is badass my friend had one brand new white with red and blue stripes you put the header on it I thought a Formula One car was driving around the neighborhood it was him he didn't like the sound of the pipe and took it off I begged him to let me ride but he never would eventually sold the bike but it is still one of the baddest bikes I've ever seen in my life
Sub'd! Loved the domed pistons and of course the bad bikes. Another Honda fan.
looing and enjoy,,just bought CBX 1000...cant wait to pick it up
Brother Ill! Great video, man. You have an excellent narration voice. P.S. I have that James Earl Jones voice.*hint hint wink wink*
Great video. The sound of the CBX is what has always drawn me to it. Have you listened to an old VFR with straight pipes? (83-01). You would love it.
Do your build, and half ass nothing! Its an investment in yourself in a dying age. That hot rod era, do it yourself, cut it apart and weld it back together mindset dies a little more every year. We seal the products shut and make em hard to work on, so it'll never be more accessible than it is now.
When I was a boy I had an 80s suburban, which is an odd project. And for the most part, even today, no one cares.
But I know, in my heart, what it felt like to sit on a fender well under an open hood and pull spark plugs from right under than manifold nbd. Chevy small blocks. Carburators, and 5klb trucks with no antilock brakes. Shits never looked the same since. Those memories are priceless. Old men will get rich and chase those golden days they remember.
This CBX series and the Buell series really tugged at my heartstrings, and made me feel old. Love your content
Awesome story, thanks for telling it
Subscribed! Great commentary bro
That BMW is looking sick! Love those cafe racers. Can't wait to see it all done.
You and me both 😂 the worst part is sitting around wasting time waiting on parts
That sound alone, awesome
Your content is fire. Dont stop
Will do buddy
You're making me want one. That sound of music.
