I can't imagine the self control it must take to ride that bike on the street and keep your drivers license
Also, where i live there is a law on max dB your bike can produce, i think this is way beyond that
O actually rode one for the first time when I was sixteen... wooaah...I never forget that experience nothing ever came close again... being that age inexperienced and not a clue about the serous power I had beneath me... obviously a good friend ours sitting behind me...
No I can not…….
Really great bike 120$ a year for insurance hell ya
Yes i strongly agree but show me a sporty motorcycle without this problem 😂😂
I remember those growing up in Brazil , my neighbor had a metallic blue 1979 with 6x1 , they have the most legendary amazing sound , to me CBX SuperSport are one of the most amazing engineering on two wheels , back in the days it was decades ahead of its time , I ride Harley-Davidson but my heart is a Honda , you can’t beat the mastery of Honda engineering.
Australia 🇦🇺
1000 CBX was in 1980, 1st edition
I remember when the CBX first came out, what a sound! I had a moderately modified Z1 Kaw that was pretty quick, one of those showed me it's tail light with that sweet sound.
I am old enough to remember when Honda first came out with the CBX 1000 and I remember reading the first test of it in Motorcycle magazine and the writer stated Honda told him their sound Engineers spent untold hours recording the American F4 Phantom during military takeoff from the AFB on Okinawa and their original exhaust system mimicked the F4 almost perfectly but the Honda brass said it sounded too deadly so they were told to tone it down...
Steve Fowler - You're the only person I've read that remembers that or wrote about it.
@@SkeletonKeey That's funny...yeah I used to be a voracious reader of the motorcycle mags when I was a youngster....and as my SAT scores proved I had a very high read and retain aptitude so I guess it stuck.

@Nathan Tankersley Damn, you sure know how to boost a gent's morale. You made it it sound as if the poor fellow's on his deathbed, lol. Let me remind you that death can come at any time, regardless of one's age...and nobody know's if there's darkness or anything afterwards. Sadly, the only way to know for sure is to kick the bucket, but until then, all one can do is hypothesize.
Japanese never do anything for nothing. I believe the day when yankees are told to leave occupied territories all over the world comes soon.
When I was young man I bought a new 1979 CB750. I settled for that 750 because I couldn’t afford a CBX1000.
How I wish, I would have waited.
But with the money saved on that 750 I bought a windjammer II, saddlebags and nice full exhaust. Put nearly 50,000 miles on it, until the trans went. Sold it to a kid who built a cafe racer.
A gentlemen in my hometown bought 2 CBXs. One he rode was in red and the one he hide was black. Still has the one black, I’ve been trying to buy it for years now.
Now I ride a CB1100, but I’ve also been eyeballing a Kawasaki Z900RS. Love me the vintage retro Japanese bikes.
I owned a Honda CB72 many years ago... it wasn't the original pipes but it was the best sounding bike I have ever heard, even to this day!
Very distinctive!
Owned a 79 CBX . The greatest sounding bike ever made. Still gives me goose bumps to hear it.
الله
Still got a SC 06, but withe Pipe Master 6-in-6 😀😀😀😀
That bike is absolutely beautiful. When I think of a motorcycle, that is exactly what I picture in my mind. Forget all the extra plastic. Straight-up motor on wheels. Stunning.
Indeed
My dads has been in pieces on the shelf in the garage for 20+ years.. we’re about to start puttin it back together I’m so freakin pumped
Do it!
Ok so How far has the project came along so far??
If you dont, sell it to me please
This classic bike is one of the finest bikes in terms of shape, design and durability, everything in it is beautiful. As for the modern models, we do not relate to the past and memories of these bikes
These bikes sound insane in real life, camera doesn't do it justice!
David Wakefield uh not sure if you are talking about person experience but you might wanna see a therapist
Yup, they sound like an old air-cooled Porsche.
One of the most exotic Japanese motorcycles on the planet!
keep taking them tablets
I Bought A Kitted 79 In 85 Was AMAZING My Older Bro Bought a Silver 79 in 1980 He STILL Has It . I would Ride with My Younger Bro who Had a Red79 WAS NUTTY Swapping Gears At 11K.
god the screamss😍😍😍
Spine tingling sound, the engineers really did their homework with the CBX.
I Agree.
@@prof.hectorholbrook4692 Wish I could have ridden one...
Bike at 120 goes from sounding like a Aston Martin to a F1
Exactly !
kevin robb love it!!

Best sounding bike ever, I must have one.
All these CBX's sound lovely.... I truly love CBX'S.... 😊👍
Even cbx650
The blue and gold tones on the header pipe look amazing, even if the muffler ruins it for me personally. I love these classic bikes, sport bikes before the sport sports were around.
I was a mechanic at a bike shop and worked on a CBX 1000 that had straight pipes. 3 on each side and it was the most wicked sounding bike ever!! Hahaha. and I've heard a lot of bikes.
My uncle had one in 1978 on the showroom floor of his Honda dealership. Insane to hang on as a rider......
I know these are 1970's bikes but a friend growing up had a '81 Z1-1000. It was a beast!
I remember this bike when it came out. Kawasaki had some pretty stout stuff on the road back then but the operative word for the CBX 1000 was "RESPECT".
Was eine Zeit..... Was für ein Motorrad..... Phantastisch
The engine of this motorcycle is very beautiful!
To get my certification,i took one of these apart and,put it back together.my final exam.It was silver colored.remember it like it was yesterday.it seemed like that engine was 5 feet wide.What a beast of a bike.Memories😌
My very first motorcycle engine overhaul was a 1979 CBX engine. The bike had a rod punch a hole in the cases. I found another engine and swapped cases and parts and it ran for about 35,000 miles with few troubles. Getting everything lined up in the 2 case halves was fun. There are 4 cams in it and its possible to set them wrong and fire 2 cylinders at once. Two 3 cylinder engines tied together. It sounded almost normal but the cam chain would break in about 100 miles. You must have gotten your certification years ago.
Вот это Хонда , вот это
бомба . Я просто балдю .
Супер .
I test rode a new CBX in '79....beautifully smooth Engine...but opted for the CB900F.....almost as fast and it had Quicker Handling..
I wish I owned both now...
I've got tears blowing back through my sideburns just watching this.
Old school sounds just as good as new school! Ride for life!!!!
I would hate to try to synchronize 6 carbs.
its quite easy if you bench sync them. its quite accurate, and no vacuum/mannometer crap
Thats why you buy a aftermarket intake for one big carb.
Hadley Scott McIntyre NO !!!!!!!#
Man all the shit about using gauges and agonizing over tiny adjustments is rubbish.
Thing is all screws have a known thread pitch. Every turn yields a known distance.
You bottom out the throttle stop screws then slightly turn each screw in so the throttle butterfly isn't the throttle stop but the throttle stop the screw is.
In this way as a poster below says you can bench set them. It really is very accurate.
Its not hard
I took motorcycle caravans to Mexico about 1987. All lead-sleds and Beamers. A few Harleys, a '51 Indian, some 750 Hondas, etc. All the Harleys burned the exhaust valves running nova gas. I took a Harley to a motorcycle mechanic in Merida. He had all the Harley parts because he was a Former mechanic for the police Harleys in San Francisco. PD.
He had a CBX with just a few miles on it that had put a rod through the case. He just couldn't get the parts. The bike belonged to a cop who wound it up and dumped the clutch trying to do a wheelie.
Near Mexico D.F there were occasional groups of cafe racers. The sixes, Honda and Kawasaki were in the lead with open pipes,,, followed by Honda 750s,, last came a solitary Triumph..
When they came up on my caravan of Wings, they would slow down to warp one and check out the bikes. After a few minutes, they would crank it back up to warp seven. You should have heard a CBX with open Kerker exhaust going through downtown Quereretaro with all the highwall buildings next to the road.
I also took the bike caravans that crossed on the ferry from La Paz AND, I tied them on to the piggyback train through the Copper Canyon. We derailed twice.
Jesus christ sounds like 90's F1
No he doesn't. He sounded like a dumb guy(yeah he never existed)
Indeed thanks to the high revving engine... V12's are essentially two inline 6 cyllinder like this one put together. your ear and brain are tuned because mid 90's were the last v12 f1 engines, then v10's at the early 00's and so on, and V10s don't sound like this at all.
Yeah
M. Schuhmacher is coming on 2 wheels
Todays F1 sound is poor because using a turbo. The roar of the machine can't be raise your adrenaline
I worked at Mick Cole Motorcycles for five years, These were his favourite he raced them for Honda at the Castrol 6 hour races here in Australia. Very talented rider even at 60 years old you could see he still had it
This is Mick on the bike at Amaroo ua-cam.com/video/IHo0DiqXAys/v-deo.html
It sounds better than many singers of today
this is the best sound ever.. no one bike producer like this.. excellent
yeah.. really the best
I learned to ride on a CB, mind you it was a 250. 👍 Honda makes a really rideable bike.
I See for the first time in 1981 i think ? On Chelsea bridge ! A cbx1000 coming a cross the bridge on the back wheel the site and noise I will never forget ! To see this bike for the first time ! The noise and size of this bike had never left me ! Unbelievable
That's not a motorbike...It's a formula one car disguised as a motorcycle ;-)
That bike sounds good but doesn’t handle very well. It was a little too heavy. 900F was more balanced but it didn’t look as nice. With modifications the 900F beat this bike on the track. Just saying 😐
The engine is one of the best ever to come out of Japan. It looks awesome from any angle. I think Honda have one mounted on a display stand at their HQ in Japan.
I like Steve Fowlers comment about the Cycle Magazine test of the CBX.. I remember it too...the interview with Soichiro Irimijri re the valve train, and the comparison with the KZ 1000. It was brought up that the Kawasaki had a tendency to spit its shims through the cases at high rpms. Soichiro replied, " to see if we had a problem in this area, we put an engine on the dynamometer at WOT, 11,000RPM. There were no problems... a cylinder stud broke after 30 minutes!" At 8500 rpms, fully 1000 rpms below its maximum power output, the CBX makes 6 more horsepower than the KZ 1000. And it's very satisfying to see the car next to you roll their window down, just to hear you go by on the highway! If you have a CBX, keep it. If you can find one, buy it!!!
Holly crap..the last 2 min were great..sounded like a formula one race car
William M Trexler sound like a mad bubble bee to me

William M Trexler Absolutely, formula one!!!
William M Trexler I miss Formula1...the sound of music back in the day
Time to replace yer hearing aid, Jed.
I bought a 1981 CBX and she'll be arriving on 3/9/2021 and I can't wait to get her tuned and serviced for the summer months! I do have an 06 vrod that has bigger cams in it with long straight pipes that have her screaming wicked loud, but I can t wait to hear the CBX at red line and the symphony she'll be screaming! No one is going to know what passed them on the open highway! But their after thoughts of Whuuuuuuuuu! Was that? ✌
Cette moto est très belle mais la pièce maîtresse c’est ce moteur une pure merveille 👏👏👏👏👏 bravo à c’est ingénieurs et thcniciens qui on participer à la réalisation 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
I had one in the day.
These are amazing with so many high quality non stock parts!
Sounds like an old V12 F1 car. Beautiful.
Terima, kasih Sudah Di liat, kan kpda dunia, untuk motor ini,, Kapten sepanjang masa 1
The last part of the video around the racetrack is best. Sounded brilliant, like the RC 166 race bike that Mike Hailwood rode.
My brother bought one of the first CBXs in Australia back in the late '70s, he's still got it.
Smart lad.
If he wants to sell it, lemme know mate. Please
Sorry, it’s a keeper! He won’t sell it.
@@gm16v149 Damn it..! There is only one for sale in all of Australia and I can't buy it because of lock down, it's in qld. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I don’t know if you want to buy a six for sentimental reasons, but I bought a Kawasaki Z900RS Jaffa two years ago and honestly, I rather ride that than my brother’s CBX. Looks retro but it’s got all the modern stuff.
that blue on the pipes really caught my eye! shes a runner.
I owned the first X in Florida and put 126000 on the clock before it was stolen in Orlando. Those of you who brag up other fine makes and Hondas never rode one and never rode one equipped with twin turbos and an air shifter. I crossed the Gandy bridge one night and was clocked at 193 by a wide awake FHP trooper who couldn't come close but recognised me and arrived at my door with a warrant and a wrecker. The fine was 3600.00 and that was 600 more than the bike cost me new
Great story.
yea
You showed him didn't you.
He recognized you when you went by him at 193 mph? Wow, he must be a super cop or you're full of shit.
Matt, are you making u[p stories again?
I’m never interest in motorcycle but one day if I ever learn how to ride then this is my dream bike. Don’t care what it cost this is the best sounding bike ever made.F1 sounds 😍🔥
Que hermoso sonido!!!! Música para mis oídos y gran potencia!!!
Saw one at the lights in Glasgow .They changed to green and he took off and pulled a great long wheelie .1984 that was .Great to watch and the noise was so sweet.
You can Say that again, even with the stock exhaust sistem The sound was awsome...CBX beautiful motorcycles...
My girlfriends dad owned this bike, what a bike and what he legend he is..
These were very heavy, stationary. All that went once it was moving. A chap owned one I knew years back and let me have a short ride on it. Once on a long straight road and safe, just tweak the throttle and the front became very light. It could become scary if it had a mind of it`s own.
An amazing sound and one of the best looking bikes ever. I am lucky to have ridden many different bikes in my life but sadly never the CBX. Full time job keeping it clean though !
That sounds pretty smooth!
People tend to forget how the Japanese in general, and Honda in particular, revolutionised motorcycling in the 60s and 70s. The CB750, Z900, the CBX… multi cylinders, disc brakes, electric start, ohc etc etc. Suddenly the old staid pushrod singles and twins that hadn’t changed since the 30s seemed outdated and old tech. A feeling which persists with me to this day. When I came back to biking after 30 years at age 64, I tried very hard to convince myself to buy a twin from a certain German manufacturer. Then I rode a 20 year old Fazer 1000, and I thought why have two lumpy cylinders when you can have four silky smooth ones? Having watched your video, maybe six would be even nicer! Cheers!
Época de ouro da Honda
104 bhp out of the crate and tons of weight to blunt the performance by modern standards but nothing will ever sound quite the same. When I was 18 and riding a GT380, this was my ultimate dream bike. I'm now 61 and have a Triumph triple of 150bhp and an S1000RR at 199bhp and whilst both would annihilate the CBX, neither have the character or that fabulous sound - a lost era for bikers . . . . .
I rode one of these is 1978. Ran pretty good. Rode a bought a V65 magna . It.was quieter, but way Faster!
Got to be honest never seen one of these on the road but woooowwww they make a great sound the one going round the track on this video was amazing the louder the better the older bikes and cars are so much better than today without a doubt built better and built to last
The first time i heard a CBX 1000 was at a Motorcycle meet with my dad in the late 90's.
I asked something like "Why is there a F1 car here?"
He laughed.
I Was RedLining Mine In 1985 😎
Honda motorcycle remains sophisticated and has a history and still mastered the magnificence and many fans in it
I Love this SOUND WOW
I worked at Cycle Sport, Tysons Corner VA back in 1982 as a salesman, the lead mechanic had a 1980 or 81 Stock CBX and let me turn the wheels...Gnarly!
David Niess was part owner back in the good-ole-days, Jack Seaver was the previous salesman and he could sell a tricycle to Kenny Roberts !
I'd buy it just so I could listen to it all day
Perhaps with age, l have come to appreciate the quite excellence of the BMW R69.
A lack of sound in comparison to its contemporaries is admirable.
I remember riding a 79 at full song in 79. It was the shit at that time!
qué bueno
I just want to buy this for insane sound she makes.
Loved it..
Essa moto é relíquia. Excelente
che moto! la CBX 1000 .... oggi non ne fanno più di così belle!
японцы отморозки в хорошем смысле) , такой стрекотоплан построить)
Спиздили Яву
И представь как настраивать эти 6 карбюраторов, что бы все работали в такт.
My neighbor has a CBX standing in his living room enclosed in a acrylic case. It has only 8000 miles on it. He was, back in the day a little crazy and I remember him doing wheelies on it and thinking holy shit…
Being 70 years old I remember when these motorcycles came out
Being 60 years old I do too!... My uncle bought one new in early 1969 and rode it over to our house to show us... Man that thing was Cool... being only 9 at the time, I had to wait, But I've had dozens of them, I currently own 5..... 3:)
Gorgeous.. I had one once....lovely to see them again.

Listen to it, isn't that a lovely exhaust note. And I ride Harleys.
I can well understand Charlie, as a HD's exhaust note doesn't actually give off an harmonious sound, rather a sound like a blown head gasket. That said it's an awesome bike and an American icon...
Honda: "You meet the nicest people on a honda"
Me: cool cool cool, no doubt no doubt no doubt
Music to my ears 🎧
What a beautiful symphony this engine makes
wow, nice video, i loved the circuit lap in pov. Good pilot also.
Wish i have one. Will be smiling always hearing that beautiful addicting sound.hehe
The best motorcycle , engine sound butfaly
At this time in the USSR thought that Java - is the best motorcycle in the world)))
These sound so good!
Reminds me of the 80’s 90’s Kawasaki’s 900-1000 with the exhaust mufflers cut out!? Beautiful sounding bikes! Honda Kawasaki’s & Yamaha!
Mad max part one had bikes sounding like that too!?
They sound like monsters roaring with the mufflers off or special mufflers installed!?
Una de las mejores motos de la historia Yo e manejado esta y la 750 el sonido de esos motores son una sinfonía
Beautiful voice!
Bring back the Honda CBX1000
Sounds like a monster but
Tank looking like CD 100
Sahi kha bhai
70s and 80s Japanese bikes are incredible. Please save and restore
Se eu tivesse uma igual a esta jamais venderia!!!!!!
nice to see I'm not the only one who loves this sound :)
A pure beast! Love it!
That said, I have to say that I like strong accelerations, but I don't like high speeds, especially on two wheels.
safer, goin easy .. enjoy riding
Especially with Max Rockatansky a few inches from your 6.
That high RPM scream is sooo orgasmic to my ears. I'd get one of these, but my MBX80 and VT500E stole my whole heart already.
1:00 Speedometer sticker: Caution! Required 600 MILF ROFL
Lovely contents,thanks for sharing!I also sent LIKE👍 I know, We are HONDA lover
Had one..handled like a f$cken boat.. notice how slow in those corners
High School friend had 79, and we raced for yrs drag and the beast was undefeated and Soo! Quick in s 1/4 mile
Top speed 218,8 Km/h...And if you eat a Hamburger more then it is just 218,2 Km/h.:D
Someone I knew had one with a MrTurbo kit on it, Day-Glo orange and white paint, it had a straight through exhaust and I have never heard a bike or car that sounds or sounded like it. It was unearthly and absolutely insane.
I read most of the comments about this great bike from the 80s(some polite and proper enthusiasts) and most of them are from people who can barely string a sentence together, clearly have just the one brain cell and completely overlook the fact the bike was designed in the 70s? There you go, 40 odd years in the past with technology that was as good as you could get then given the price point of the bike. Of course a new bike will be better but why slag it off and the person who has taken the trouble to share his passion and put a nice upload together? Where are the videos from all the haters? Sorry, I forgot you never passed a test or owned a bike, silly of me.
They woulda bought one...
they were on their way to the dealers...
Wad o'cash in their hands..
..but then they got stoned.
A new bike would be sooo much better that when Honda decided to make the CB1100, which is a direct homage to this masterpiece, they elected to do so with a tamer 4-cylinder engine, which, despite the extra 100cc makes only 88 horsepower. Which is still as much horsepower as my 1987 Honda CRX DX(my love💘) made the day she rolled off the factory floor, so you know, ENOUGH for a motorcycle. Just goes to show that no matter how well the designers design, the insurance companies always win.
Dinka Boutit Which motorcycle had only 88hp? Are you talking about the CB900F that had 95hp or the CB1100F that had 110hp? I’ve had lots of miles on all three of these bikes, and the CB1100F was definitely the fastest among them. The 5 extra compared to the CBX’s 105hp felt like 20. Not saying that the CBX wasn’t quick enough, but it delivered the power in a completely different way.
Dinka Boutit not sure what point are you trying to make, the OP was shaming those who badmouth this bike because they compare it to newer bikes
C'mon bro... You can't just stop falling in love with this romantic style.. the golden age restored... Those who dislike it, can't say they are nuts, but don't have the sense of classic tradition of motorbikes industry
