I know very little about the market for these other than they are spendy. This one looks real nice.

Looks really good and super low mileage too.
Could be too to good to be true though.

There is another ad up in OKC for it. Usually the scammer has some story about how it is about to be shipped to you bla bla bla... not want to trade for cool old car.

Looks like fuel under it.

Anyone call the guy?  If anyone is interested it's close and I could prolly get a van to pick it up for you.

Back in the day when Honda could hardly give those bikes away they did just that and donated a lot to colleges and other learning institutions for would be mechanics and students to practice wrenching on. There were and still are probably many CBX examples floating around out there with virtually no miles showing on them as they became liberated.
   Think the bigger money and more collector appeal as Stringbean mentioned are the early first couple year models.

I remember seeing a large number of them together at Steamboat  MC week 15 years ago.   Since then they've seemed to  become more scarce even at Barber Vintage week.

I got this 79 at a good price because it was not running and had been setting for a long time.

Those are the best deals, especially when the sit indoors.

I know very little about the market for these other than they are spendy. This one looks real nice.

I can't quite tell, but...is it the one with the cafe' faring AND bags aboard? That's the one I always wanted, in that color scheme.
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

The 79 & 80 were naked and the 81 & 82 had the faring and bags.

It looks to have the hard bags.

The Tulsa ad has been flagged for removal, the OKC ad remains up. Maybe the guys in Tulsa know something we don't.
