The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, going on to make over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The launch of the four-cylinder CB750 in 1969 ushered in the 'Superbike' boom in the seventies and Honda’s crowning glory of the era was the amazing six-cylinder CBX1000, still one of the few 6 cylinder motorcycles ever produced.

This CBX1000, being offered at no reserve, has been part of a private collection in Finland, owned by a former chairman of the Finnish VJMC. The more desirable early twin shock un-faired model, its presented in good standard condition fitted with original FVQ rear shocks, genuine (rare and expensive) N.O.S. footpeg rubbers in perfect condition, and genuine (again rare and expensive) N.O.S. lenses in correct colours together with a JAMA chrome 6 into 2 replica exhaust system. The bike was imported from Germany to Finland about 15 years ago and has recently had an engine rebuild including a new primary chain, new cam chains, new connecting pieces between the four camshafts, new valve guide seals and the clutch rebuilt with a repair kit. The carbs have been ultrasonically cleaned, rebuilt with a repair kit and balanced. There are new steering, swingarm and wheel bearings, a new seat cover, the calipers have been treated to new pistons and seals and the brake hoses replaced with braided steel featuring black rubber covers to make them look stock. To make the bike more user friendly it comes fitted with a pair of engine crash bars, an alloy fork brace and an Ohlins adjustable steering damper.

PLEASE NOTE. This bike has been brought in from Finland on a temporary basis. If it is to stay in the UK when sold it will need to get a NOVA Certificate, details on the DVLA website. This normally involves paying 5% VAT on the total sale price and about £125 in customs declaration paperwork, our shipping partner (shippio.com) can help with this process. Please check these details and bear this in mind when bidding.
