New Toy

Well my better half bought this 82 Honda CBX for me but said I had to get rid of one of the other bikes so I might be selling my 88 Vmax or turn this CBX & make some good money off of it but I kind of like it to.

Hey Kyle, love the six cylinder but you have to borroy a second sync tool ! LOL
ride the thing then flip it. They more collectible than our Maxes but not near as fun. Hope all went well in TX. Haven't heard from you in a while. Patmax

Yeah that was the intial plan to clea and sync carbs and a little other clean up and sell it since I really still need the money and I can make more off it than the max. I would still have my 85 if I kept the cbx but I just put a lot of work in my 88 so it would bother me a little to get rid of it

Looks like its in great shape. They are hard to find in decent condition.

Very clean indeed!

Definetly worth more than an 88 Max...the 6 cylinder bikes are pretty rare and tend to fetch big bucks on ebay in good condition. Don't think they were big sellers of their time, mostly because a V65 Magna would kick the crap out of it.

Still, a neat piece of living motorcycle history. The Max is more powerful and fun, but a bike like that is neat in it's own respect. Kinda how I'll choose to go for a ride at 1am on my 1 cylinder, 10hp Briggs and Stratton powered minibike over my Max. It's fun in it's own way without being really fast.

Yeah it is in pretty goodd shape no where near perfect but it was taken pretty good care of. I am gonna detail the hell out of it & then decide rather to keep it or make money. I paid 1,700 for it so I know I can make money.

Hey Kyle, good to hear from ya!

I think you're onto a winner there, good detail, lots of nice pics, stick it on fleaBay and laugh all the way home. Definitely a market for classics like that, and getting close to the best time of the year to sell!
