HONDA CBX 1000Z SUPER-SPORT. 6 CYLINDER.

1978 HONDA CBX 1000Z SUPER-SPORT. 6 CYLINDER. A review in Cycle magazine called the CBX a "breakthrough for the Japanese motorcycle industry" and praised its design, concept, and performance. The Honda CBX was manufactured by Honda from 1978 to 1982. With a 1047cc inline six-cylinder engine producing 105 bhp , it was the flagship of the Honda range. It debuted at the 1978 Isle of Man TT race as the Marshalls Bikes. Fastest production Bike in 1978 with a Top Speed of 143 mph. Honda had produced a Honda RC series six-cylinder race bike in the mid-1960s, but the CBX was Honda's first production 6 cylinder road bike with the GP racing engine technology. The CBX's advanced DOHC 24-valve inline six-cylinder engine was its outstanding feature; but in other respects the bike was conventional, having telescopic forks, a tubular frame, twin rear shocks and straight handlebars. In the February 1978 issue of Cycle (magazine) editor Cook Neilson wrote this of a review of a pre-production bike, after a four-day review at Orange County Raceway, Willow Springs Raceway, and the Webco dynamometer: "The objective - to build the fastest production motorcycle for sale anywhere in the world - has been met." The CBX was available on the market in late 1978, and the production model was even faster than the prototype. Cycle World got a tested 1/4 mile time of 11.64 seconds at 117.95 mph, the 1978 bike was also the first bike they tested to go over 130 mph .
