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!)

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!!
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

Remember "Its always in the last place you look" COURSE IT IS YOU STOP LOOKIN THEN!

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!
