This was on e-bay - sold for $1650 US (about)

#4563218672 (sorry, don't know how to do that blue link thingy!)

I looked at it several times..thought the milage was high and couldn't figure out how to get it from Jacksonville Florida to Denver without spending $1700 (hahaha).

Did I miss out on my "DREAM BIKE"

Gee, maybe so. You could have hitchhiked down and rode it home.

What are we looking at Linda ?

I've shipped with Eagle One Express. They do a fantastic job to your door for around $700.

Can't look this up coz of the network police but assume it's a CBX?? (Guess based on Linda's interest)

There were three on eBay UK last week - all very nice and very expensive.

smithrelo · « **Reply #7 on:** July 26, 2005, 08:57:37 AM »

Yes it was a CBX and someone got it for a real steal price. I was scared off by the milage, but I did approach Dear Hubby and all I got was a roll of the eyes! (he doesn't ride, so he just doesn't get it!)

Soooooo, I'll just have to slobber over the pretty photos and hope I get another chance at one, with less milage.

that bike has one cam and two cylinders more than you need, anyway.

cb750_chris · « **Reply #9 on:** July 26, 2005, 11:45:28 AM »

Looks pretty worked over but I wouldn't be too worried about 36,000 miles. A bike in that shape needs to be looked over thuroughly before buying. The price was right but I still wouldn't buy it without inspecting it myself first. Lots of jerks around selling junk and expecting you to pay when you bid and win. Even if you find lots more problems when you see it for the first time up close.

Gordon · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26, 2005, 02:51:53 PM »

Sure it has six cylinders, but only one exhaust pipe. What a waste!!

True, but it doesn't hurt to have them....

the_genrl · « **Reply #12 on:** July 26, 2005, 08:30:43 PM »

that thing must be fun to get parts for. the engine sticks out so much it doubles as a crash bar!

Harry · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2005, 10:03:09 PM »

Look what I found yesterday - not even 300km on the clock, apparently stored in the living room all these years - unfortunately not for sale!!!

Einyodeler · « **Reply #14 on:** July 27, 2005, 06:58:22 AM »

That is beautiful ,Harry.
But that brings up the question: if it`s not being ridden then is it still a motorcycle or just a piece of art to look at.

cben750f0 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 27, 2005, 07:47:52 AM »

shame its not riden... would be a good sight on the road...peace

smithrelo · « **Reply #16 on:** August 07, 2005, 07:37:42 PM »

Oh- Harry - You are one CRUEL Dude!

Linda - tearing her hair out over beautiful bike - NOT for sale!

Besides the smoothness of more cylinders, what is the advantage of 6 over 4? And dont say power. It seems like a lot more work. How many carbs does that thing have? It must wiegh 600 lbs.

and no I have never ridden one of those bulldozers. Is it moare of a cruiser?

Don

kghost · « **Reply #19 on:** August 07, 2005, 08:29:46 PM »

Don, As you came after an earlier post, Linda has a "thing" for CBX's

She seems to lust after them a fair bit, Think I should tell her where theres one for sale?

Buffo · « **Reply #20 on:** August 07, 2005, 09:12:54 PM »

As I am not one to withhold pleasures from the ladies it seems that I would...but others like to watch the......kite "twist in the wind".

what ever brings you joy.

Not too bad. I would not mind 6 cans popping under me. I myself like the first model valkyrie though!

Buffo · « **Reply #22 on:** August 08, 2005, 06:52:16 PM »

are organs still availible for that white elephant?

Don

eldar · « **Reply #23 on:** August 08, 2005, 07:14:01 PM »

Well it is a different model now called the rune. But I have seen the original and it sounds amazing. I think people where afraid of it. It was a BIG bike in overall size. If I could, I would get one.

I'd put that in my living room too; after every ride though. boy that is nice. Looks like this practically brand new 85' V-Max I saw the other day with Nitrous

kghost · « **Reply #25 on:** August 09, 2005, 12:51:57 PM »

Evel K. approves of them.

eldar · « **Reply #26 on:** August 09, 2005, 01:14:08 PM »

I think he approves of anything that crashes!

Maybe thats just his style!

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #27 on:** August 09, 2005, 04:36:03 PM »

Linda,

Go to www.ukcbxclub.com you can listen to a CBX on open pipes.

Bob Wessner · « **Reply #28 on:** August 10, 2005, 03:44:39 PM »

Here's another chance, might be closer to home as well..

Shoot!!! Bob-I missed it! IN BROOMFIELD- I'm gonna CRY!!!

There I was, sipping tropical drinks on the beach in Maui...and this beauty comes on the market! The resort we were at had a COMPLETE technical meltdown - NO INTERNET for over 10 days!!!

The price did get up there! The buyer may have been in New Zealand! Imagine!

Anyway, thanks for looking out for me guys...someday my prince will come - and he'll be on one of these!!!

Linda
(just kidding about the prince thing...happily married!)

bryanj · « **Reply #30 on:** August 24, 2005, 07:17:49 AM »

Hey Linda PLEASE dont get one of these CBX bikes unless you plan on keeping the 550 to ride. The CBX needs loads of TLC to keep it on top form plus lots of time and expensive bits at service-- like a $100 rocker gasket with $15 rubbers under every one of those hold down bolts for the cover and the gasket only usualy does twice even though its rubber!!

smithrelo · « **Reply #31 on:** August 24, 2005, 02:36:19 PM »

Brian, quite frankly, I don't think I can even SIT on one of these - my legs are short and this looks like a tall bike!

I was thinking about using it as a conversation piece in the entry of my home - shined up and pretty-kind of like me (LOL) and then again, it would make a great Paperweight!

I just want one to drool over and pet - kind of like a pet!

Linda
