Worked at a Honda dealer in 1979. The delivery truck came in one morning and delivered 3 red CBX's. Couldn't believe my eyes. Have been in love ever since.
I visited the local Honda, even worked that summer doing 'Setup', having gotten my first bike (CM185T) the prior November. Every visit including a gawking at the CBX, my dream of another lifetime.
In summer 1979 I was told by the dealer the interest rate on bike loans about 20% and a two year term. Simply outrageous. Also for sportbikes the insurance was "double deductible" for the first 90 days.@@drifter9425
Wrong! The 1966-7 Works Honda Six with Mike the Bike Hailwood aboard it at the Isle of Man TT races still sends shivers down my spine--56 years later!! [I have all the engine noises from the 1967 TT races on two LP vinyl records.]. I attended the '66 and '67 races as a young man..
I dont care if electric motorcycles can go up to 300mph. They won't have the character and coolness of these bikes. Electric vehicles are like a glorified oven toasters to me
The only cool about electric cars and bikes is the speed..... The sound is what makes your heart race and makes every hair on your body stand up...... Plus other things
you'll eventually get bored from that instant torque you feel from an electric vehicle.. just because it doesn't have a sound, it doesn't need multiple gears and a useable powerband I.C.E's are inefficient yes, but Electric doesn't have a soul
Part ex'd my MBX 125 for a CBX6 in 1985 when I passed my test. That sound going through the trees would have been like me on the parkway going to my friends house. He could tell how fast i'd be going by the sound it made past his house. Best years of my biking life. Nothing on todays life-less bikes even come close to those 70's and 80's bikes. GT750, H1, H2, Kwack6, 250/350 Lc's on spannies. Ahhh, nostalgia.
OMG, I started cackling like a deranged lunatic on that first pull. Loved this bike when I was a kid never got to ride one. AMAZING. Who cares what bike is quicker or faster……this is just COOLER. And that is what riding is all about, right? Fun fun fun.
There’s an acceleration video of the BMW S1000RR ands it’s truly spectacular. But the SOUND on the first clip is so addictive to any motorcyclist from any era. An absolute stunner.
They don't make like em' anymore, All the advancement in technology and the best we could was Lexus LFA,that was couple of decades back and it was 4wheels!! I can't think of one legendary sounding modern motorcycle.
If the second bike is real sound it is the best bike sound ever I think even a cop would be like “ na’ I’m not even gonna try id rather sleep in my bed tonight” 😂
A good friend of mine had one and we swaped one afternoon. A stock CBX will do 100 mph in 3rd if you want it to. I rolled out of the throttle shortly after that and smiled for hours after...
When this came out I knew it would be collectable, and expensive. What I didn't know was that they didn't sell well and maybe I could have gotten one at an okay price. I don't remember if I had the financial resources back then. Would be interesting if they could bring it back with electronic fuel injection (port injection). Maybe a little less displacement to target similar power levels.
Honda needs to keep making vehicles tht people love to drive but are reliable... Fuk the mileage.. A little less mileage is OK.. Atleast two three models shld be fun... Not all models..
La mejor Honda Honda cbx que escuche fue la que le prepararon en USA a Cocho Lopez .todo Yosimura,culata,cdi, escapes. Una locura... Piel de gallina Como una musica celestial que traspasa nuestros sentidos. Yo escucho a su hermanita Jajaja !! Buen video !!
0:50 look at how smooth that bike is as he revs it... virtually no wobble or anything. A masterpiece. Also, did someone fucking turbocharge one of these?? 1:40. God id love to own one of these someday.
According to Honda literature at the time of it's introduction, the designer of the CBX was inspired by the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom for both visual and audio cues, including the use of a "spinner" in the exhaust to create the sound of a turbine. I wonder why I've never seen an YT video make mention of it?
I had an original 1979 CBX in silver but it was NOT the favourite motorcycle I owned. That title goes to my '77 GS750 Suzuki which produced quicker lap times than the Honda due to MUCH better handling and braking. The CBX was all show.
You should watch the full clip of the green CBX 1:39 (can find it on youtube). Few secs later he rides off down the road and it sounds absolutely magnificent. Still my fav clip of the CBX being modded.
I just want to enter my phone screen....exit on the other side....decamp with the bike ....and come back once again with my prized possession.....voila what a life then it will be for me....a perfect rider life.....😃😃😃😃😃😃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Should have gone to bank and bought one

This is not a bike... this is masterpiece...
Masterpiece you say. This is more awesome.
Best sounding motorcycle of all time!!!!!!!
Nah, that title goes to the 5 cylinder 125 cc Honda.
@@georgebarnes8163the Kawasaki h1 with bassini chambers sounds awesome also.

@@donr2176 Ok I will give you that, but the CBX is awesome especially for a more known modern bike
Did you know the engineer who designed the race bike engine also had quite a bit of input into the CBX? @@billjones3071
What the hell, this is the Lexus LFA of motorcycles!
Such a good comparison!
Best ever sound produced by a bike...Huge respect for Honda.
Incomparable sound not even the most advance motorcycle today.
That is a motorcycle. I rode dirt bikes for 40 years, but that is a motorcycle, I bow to you.
There is no more beautiful sound, more even and balanced than that of this 6-cylinder Honda CBX, it is a symphony of engines!!!
The sound of glory❤😊
O melhor som de moto do planeta
I dont care if electric motorcycles can go up to 300mph. They won't have the character and coolness of these bikes. Electric vehicles are like a glorified oven toasters to me
yes 👍
Even if this thing didn't go over 30mph I'd still think it is cooler than an ebike
Entièrement de ton avis 😉👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

How come this doesn't have a million views :)
Cos he uploaded only 3 months ago 😂
Bro I got the same question 😎
Because people nowdays prefer electric scooters
because these same videos are on 20 different channels

I got goosebumps real quick listening to this.

Same here!! And the best part about this clip for me is that I just bought one and is bringing it home in 2 days :D
@@trebot40 I hate you. Ok, just kidding, but I am really jealous!
They need to bring this bike back. Its sounds as iconic as an original shovelhead.
Shovelled shi -
0:07 in this moment, Honda turned into cr7
Get up and go, with that eager raucous growl, music on two wheels, puts shivers up the spine to hear that fabulous sounding symphony of cylinders! 🙂👍
Great sounds. I had a CB K750 with equal length Mac pipes 40 years ago and it nearly sounded cool as these.
This is a good example for "Old is gold".👌🏻😎
Best video with such sounds. Many others do only have sounds at low or medium speeds. A six-cylinder at nearly 10.000 . . . . thats it !
Honda san is crazy in this masterpiece

You can use the sound to get a loan at the bank 😅😅
6 into 1 open header is the best sound ever.
The best sounds motorcycle ever!, Hopefully i can get One of the Honda cbx400
Cb 400? V-TECH?
I have to bro cbx400
They don't make like em' anymore,
All the advancement in technology and the best we could was Lexus LFA,that was couple of decades back and it was 4wheels!!
I can't think of one legendary sounding modern motorcycle.
I’m extremely fond of the Yamaha R1 with the crossplane crank.
The LFA is the best-sounding production car I've ever heard, though...
I'm saving this video in my music folder! 👍👍
NOTHING SOUNDS BETTER!!!
If the second bike is real sound it is the best bike sound ever I think even a cop would be like “ na’ I’m not even gonna try id rather sleep in my bed tonight” 😂
All these sounds are real.
1:50
My Favorit Sound of CBX
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I used to hate doing valve clearance checks and carb syncs on those things but at least they sounded nice when I finished.
All I can say is, DAM! The first two bikes and the last bike was pure heaven.
The bike is literally Speaking😮❤
:21 Sounds like an air raid siren winding up.😂 That clip is one of my favorite motorcycle sound videos on UA-cam.
amazing sound
That's the beauty of Inline 4..
Thats inline 6 😂
LoL

Wow !!! The best sounds !!!

Sounds like F1 V8 cars from 90's
like a V12 ….its a 6 cyl engine
@@floringogu4975 really??? I don't know it 😏
Total best❤
It's amazing, but like all bikes it always sounds better with stock pipes than loud pipes.
What a thing of beauty
Isso sim era uma motocicleta.. eu tive uma F2. Quatro canecos..😢 saudades
Minha nossa senhora❤❤
Great sounding bikes
you gotta be so god damn lucky to own one of these....
Pure eargasm 😌 ❤️
I always wanted one of these!!
ZX25 sound 👏🏻
ooooh aaaah, it's great, what a sound... 👌👍✌️
Best sounding bike ever
Even if if only goes 100 mph. i love it
When they put the 85mph speedometer on it, 1980 I think that was just sick!
👏Honda Forever 🤩🥳
Epá este video ta top bro, tens que fazer mais do género 🏍🔥
Deveria e não deveria afinal estas imagens podem criar problemas ... E sabes bem disso
@@cristianorodriguesoficial Ah ok mas até pensei que estas estivessem ok, mas olha é ficar e se algum dia der algo retiras e evitas probs

@@UguysRnutsit was the very first production bike with more than 100hp. It was for a show...
Because there was "NO SPINNER" in the exhaust . . .

I would love to own one of these
Imagine cbx swapping a car… fuck man, that would be gnarly

what a sound
Nice Sound
Honda is famous for their 4 cylinder cars
And their 6 cylinder bikes
FOR SOME REASON
Wickedly cool! If that doesn’t put a grin on your face, there must be something wrong with you.
El mejor sonido de una moto
cbx750f is a legend also
F1 sound for working mans price, that's the beauty of honda
It’s great if Honda made CB1300 with in-line six
Kawasaki did. Z1300.
BMW made a 6 cylinder 1600cc machine, the K1600.
That's a sound of Honda 😎
I just want to enter my phone screen....exit on the other side....decamp with the bike ....and come back once again with my prized possession.....voila what a life then it will be for me....a perfect rider life.....😃😃😃😃😃😃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like an F1 car!!!! So bad ass!!!
I kick my self in the butt every time I see one of these… why in the hell didn’t I buy one of these back then
They were like $4,250 new (1978), about $25K today.
You meet the nicest people on a Honda.
Amazing 🔥💯
Come and see Mister..👍❤️
They expect these to be up to 100,000 usd value in the next 10 years.. they are around 30,000 for a nice one now
There can be only one.
My Honda 50 mini trail sounds like that!
Sure, just add nitromethene and liquid oxygen.
a bike mounted to an engine, lmao
El sonido es hermoso❤
Listen that mf 0:20 sound like a sirens 💀💀💀
Best ever super motor cycle with sound and looks to pick hot chicks . Chicks will jump on this toast of the town for ride
Wow!🎉
0:54 😍
😂😂😂❤❤❤âm thanh nó phát ra thật tuyệt
That's an "ICIKIWIR" just not like other "ICIKIWIR" (especially in Konohagakure)
Beda tolol itu mah jelek 1 silinder 150cc terus gampang karatan nah kalo yang ini 1000cc 6 silinder gak gampang karatan
Máquina tenebrosa.
What a bike
What a nice video.
Muito obrigado
That CBX sound, she so fine! LoL
No gonna lie, the first clip sounded like tyler1 engine meme.😅😅😅
Behold! the first crotch rocket
