1979 Honda CBX1000 Super Sport
Registration no. HYU 30W
Frame no. CB1-2014532
Engine no. CB1E-2014661

Released in 1979, the CBX was another in Honda's line of amazing machines over the years. Four valves per cylinder, DOHC, five-speed gearbox, 105bhp, and certainly the largest presence on the road – in more ways than one. As befits such a machine, they were desirable in their day, and have become more so with the passage of time, with low mileage examples rising in value. HYU 30W was acquired by the vendor in 2015, having had only one previous owner in the UK. Whilst the bike dates from the first year of manufacture, 1979, the date of first registration is given on the V5C as 22nd February 1981, and it is believed to be a US import at that time. The mileage recorded on the odometer is 7,985, and is believed by the vendor to be correct. A printed Mot history in the history file, records the mileage in 2006 as 6811. Since then, the machine has covered no more than a few miles per year, and the present owner used it only occasionally, up to the last MoT in April 2020, when the recorded mileage was the same as at present. Accordingly, the owner has recently had the machine re-commissioned by a local Honda specialist, carrying out a full service, with the carbs rebuilt and digitally set up, and a front caliper rebuild. The invoice total was £1,806.45. The vendor describes the CBX as mechanically spot-on and ready for use by a new owner. A duplicate V5C has been applied for, and should be in place by the time of sale. Documentation comprises a copy of an old type V5C, some expired MoT certificates, the aforementioned MoT history printout, and some receipts.
