A very special 1980 Honda CBX1000A, finished in original factory black and fitted with a 6-into-6 exhaust system. The CBX is already one of Honda’s most distinctive classics, but this example sounds particularly good with the six separate pipes, giving it the kind of sound that really suits the six-cylinder engine.
The 1980 CBX-A model was developed as a refinement of the earlier CBX-Z, with detail improvements including air-assisted forks, revised suspension/cosmetic details and other small updates. The black factory finish is a great look on these and gives the bike a slightly tougher, more understated appearance.
This bike was sourced from Fastline Superbikes, one of the UK’s well-known classic motorcycle dealers, and they have carried out a full service and recommissioning. The work included new tyres, battery, oils, filters, fluids, plugs, starter relay and air filter. The carburettors have also had a full service, including sonic cleaning and setup.
It has been fully checked and tested, and is ready to ride and enjoy. If you have not already, we would recommend watching the YouTube video, as the sound from the 6-into-6 system is a big part of what makes this CBX stand out.
