Came accross this ad for a cbx1000 for sale close to me. Unfortunately I can't afford it but might consider it if I had the money.

Just wanted to see what people thought about some of the work this person has done to it.

Way too high in the back. Fork angle too shallow in front. Looks like it would flip over if you grabbed some brake. There is some nice workmanship, but I think the design is wrong. Just my opinion.

just goes to show there's a bike for everyone

I like it, more old hondas should look this way. reminds me of the babyfood bike, but better.

Sorry, sure not MY style.

The 17's look totally wrong on this bike.
This is a bike in my mind you restore to original condition like Mopar muscle.

There are just some thing you don't #$%* with, the CBX is one of them.

I would be scared to ride it. Really, it needs some mudders on those rims.

Agree, nice work but bad aesthetics-sense of balance is out of whack...Larry

so,,its all fantastic and still the gear selector needs to be reset?,with all the effort gone into it, still it has a basic flaw when its for sale?ill bet its a pig to ride.

If the rear end was brought back down to earth it would OK IMO. That tail section actually works with the tank well. Personally i think you shouldn't go smaller than 18" on rims for bikes of that era BUT Honda's F bikes that Spencer, Baldwin etc raced had 16" front rims if I remember correctly and those bikes looked tough.

Ok if ye didn't like that then have a look at some of these bikes just for laughs

, just came accross this page randomly searching google for cbx1000. Now these people have obviously put a lot of time/effort/money/work in these bikes but man are they butt ugly. Its a mix of everything but there's a few cbx's in here as well.

Heres my personal favorite from this page, this is probably the ugliest bike I have ever seen, that exhaust is just ridiculous
