This CBX was purchased by the vendor's late father (a Honda dealer) for £500 cash from Tony Gooderick at Honda Chiswick. Although not a pre-production machine, his father believed the CBX was one of the road test bikes. He took it to the Isle of Man TT in June that year - and the vendor can still remember the amazed reaction of people to it (the fact it was registered on 1st June 1978 would support this.) The old-style V5 on file records the vendor's father as registered keeper on 1st June 1981 and states one previous keeper (believed to be the Honda dealership he ran). Currently displaying a total of 6,976 miles on the odometer, it is described by the vendor as being highly original aside from the replacement exhausts. The machine is offered with a workshop manual (photocopy) and an owner's manual (in original slipcase).
