One of the most …
One of the most beautiful motorycycles in the world, if not the most beautiful one! 6 cylinders, 24 valves, fantastic engineering. It went out of favor, because of the CB1100F, which was probably more efficient, narrower, and all. But nothing touches the beauty of the CBX. I consider the 80′s a pinnacle of styling. Together with Ferrari Testarossa, the CBX is one of my favorite vehicles. Kawasaki GPZ900 was nice too, though. Top Gun anyone?

Im redoing a 92 Yamaha FZR 600 right now???
But im wondering if im wasting my time doing it instead of getting a nice bike like the CBX,
Or even a Z-1300 Kawasaki,
Ill get a CBX and then cruise all over the place

Ive always liked the CBX and i wanted one for yrs and now im gonna get one,
the best pipe Ive ever heard is the older Kerker 6 into 2 pipes,
they really make that inline six sound good,
watch the vid on the one mounted at the rear wheel,
it really sounds good,

Thanks for your …
Thanks for your kind comments, All the bikes run perfectly and I do ride them occasionally , riding the 1926 Harley in todays traffic is a real challenge. I will take your advice and will publish in the future some clips on every bike in the collection
The death road in Yungas Bolivia is still there although no longer in use for regular traffic, now is only for mountain bikers , and they love it.
Saludos

I just watched the video tour of your motorcycle collection. VERY impressive! Are they all runners? Do you ride them occasionally? You could make some interesting riding videos on those bikes, and I hope you do.

I also have to ask … have you ever driven on the Yungas Road ( “road of death”) down there in Bolivia? I have taken some bus rides through the mountains in Colombia … it was pretty scary, but nothing to compare with that road!

His comment about how it would sound with pipes on it is bang on; I went from stock to Pipemaster 6-into-6 on my ’80 and nothing else on the road sounds like it.

I watched the vid. Your bike looks and sounds really good. You should check out one posted by bbq4racin called CBXsound. Very cool!

Thanks for watching, and the “favorite” hit. Hoping to see more of your CBX.

Yep. If he had hung on to that gear a few seconds longer the sounds would have been MUCH better.

I’d like to own that bike … just for the noises it makes!
