Feel free to post your Honda Advertisements here. I have quite a few but always collecting. Doesn't matter what size or year.

Here we go!

I like I would want a sulfur yellow GL1000 or other naked wing with Don Vesco Rabid Transit fairing like another member...
Then a white CBX or custom color CBX...if I have the money to pay someone else to tune it, it scares me, the complexity

yep. I don't think they ever put the turbo on the 500

MoMo · « **Reply #11 on:** November 22, 2013, 04:54:47 PM »

the 500 definitely was made SB, I remember the first one coming into the shop back in the day, but I think the image is a 650...Larry

CX500 Turbo[edit]
Honda CX500 Turbo in the Honda Collection HallThe CX500 Turbo was released in 1982. The CX500 Turbo (also known as the CX500TC) was only produced for the 1982 model year. It was superseded by the CX650TC (CX650 Turbo) for the 1983 model year, which was itself discontinued the same year. It had a complex for the time, programmed fuel injection system with redundant fail-safe systems working in tandem with a separate ignition system. Electronic system failures were reported to the driver through two dashboard displays: an issue with the fuel injection system would light a "Fuel System" light on the dashboard and an issue with the ignition would flash the "TURBO" indicator.

I was thinking the same thing. Saw one for sale on CL a while back.

Damfino · « **Reply #20 on:** November 22, 2013, 08:39:14 PM »

I like this one with it's tag line, "Follow that."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they calling out Kawasaki? Wasn't it Kawasaki that was using the tag line "Follow the Leader" in their ads of the time?

toytuff · « **Reply #21 on:** November 23, 2013, 03:49:01 AM »

You might be correct on that. Honda spent a ton of money in R and D on the CBX only to be spanked by Kawasaki or Suzuki shortly after the CBX introduction.

Honda then redesigned the CBX towards a long distance tour bike in the last two years.

I read some production numbers somewhere there was more 500 built than the 650.
More than double I think.

Now I have to dig out some of my old ads and scan them.

Oh, oh, can I play?

Chicks dig a man with CJ360T.

Also, that B&W of the girl on the CL350 is from Vanishing Point, iirc.
I read somewhere she was the directors? GF and got horribly sunburned while filming the scenes of her riding the bike naked.
