Description
So the story of the CBX, I purchased it in June 2022 from a trusted classic motorcycle seller and the reason I purchased it from him ( I viewed many) and no one else was that the Honda CBX expert Cary Knapton from The Supersport shed had rebuilt the top end of the engine, horned the bores and checked everything else under the instruction from the seller and I have all the paperwork of the engine worked which was carried out by him. Also addition worked which was carried out before purchase, was the replacement of the front brake master cylinder and also a new clutch installed using genuine O. E parts with new oil and oil filter replaced at the same time and again I have all relevant paperwork for that work carried out. The bike comes with the original handbook but no tool kit and the bike has not been resprayed (see rivets on front mudguard) and it still has the red dots on the brake calipers and a new Delkevic system. I had the O. E system replaced before purchased, due to the HM422 system was tired and tatty, yes I know I should have kept the OE system but I never went down that route.
I also have a file of paperwork for the bike and also articles of the Honda CBX from an expert regarding these bikes who guided me through everything to ensure it was correct. I also have a dating certificate from VMJC confirming frame and engine number and model of bike.
I have also fitted a new petrol locking arm, sourced from Paul Jennings, a well respected CBX Restorer and also I have replaced the handlebar grips with genuine O. E parts and the foam cushion for the volt-meter which was sourced from one of the members of the CBX Riders Club UK. This was done to ensure the CBX was kept in pristine condition. I suppose I have already stated the fact but having someone check over the engine from top to bottom (Cary Knapton CBX Expert) reassured me to purchase the CBX. However, I can assure you, that seeing it in pictures and then seeing it up close will take your breath away included in the sale of the CBX, are copies of rare CBX articles from test reports and fitted Rickman crash bars.
