Thanks for watching!!!
I used to go to this Circuit with my dad and watch the bikes when Harley's were still common site on the tracks , My Dad had a 72 1200 Superglide , A 1970 750cc Triumph Trident ( Triple ) a 1972 Kawasaki Mach 3 500cc and 750cc and a early 1970s Triumph Trophy which was an X NSW Police Bike , He ended up selling the 2 Mach 3 Kawasaki's to a guy that raced at Amaroo because ,, well they were just too crazy and stopped riding from serious bike accident , ( Cage mowed my parents over through a red light ) so mum said bikes must go , Nothing quite like an inline 6 bike : )
sure wish I'd have used HEARING protection back in my youth !!!
4:12 hey that's lamborghini!
AI TEM PRESSÃO AM
Great compilation of CBXs, even has Will Hagon commentating at Amaroo 6 hour .. Grouse video.
I was a fool to ever sell mine :(
Koq ngebul mister...??
Beautiful sound BUT the engine is soooo w-i-d-e you can't lean her🙁
If carb worked needed the motor has to be dropped !!......that is not for me
What was cool was riding with 35 or so CBX's on the freeway on a CBX Club ride in the 1990's. It sounded like being in a bomber formation. I'm down to 4 of them now....a '79, an '80, and a pair of '81's.
Oh I hate you! I'm totally green with envy...... 😁😁😁😭😭😭
Quite possibly the most awesome bike of all time
learned how to ride and took my road test on a 1980 cbx with a kirker exhuast....what a machine....still sitting in my brothers garage needs a full resto now though
i cant believe 14 folk didnt like this ,,,, its the devils own music ,,,
because 6 parallel cylinder??? big nope, huge waste...
tom thompson a 1975 triumph Bonneville sounds better m8
I had a 1965 CB 350 , and met a guy that used to race them at Amaroo in 67 and he reckons they were one of the faster bikes in its class . Loved going to Amaroo with my late Father in the 1970s and loved watching the Harley's race . loved their noise and loved the sound of the screaming 2 strokes , Dad and I would ride there on his Harley or his 1972 Kawasaki Mach 3 750 . Give absolute anything to go back in time just once to sit back on his shoulders and relive those days : ) PS Have to love an Inline 6 on the old bikes , they were wonderful ,,, Its obvious that 14 ,,, well 70 now,,, people are not mentally equipped to admire beauty and sound
jealousy and racism. oh yeah, some people are so racist and their hatred run so deep that they will actually hate a machine base on origin. if its not built by the hands of their own race, they hate it!
Always wanted one of these...but never got close to any of them really. Plenty of other bikes...but CBX's were always kept close to the vest methinks
SquillyMon I was around bike shops when these came out, as the saying goes, "Don't meet your heroes". Compared to the Suzukis & Hondas of the time, they were just overweight pigs in comparison. The factory horsepower was just 105, but at over 600lbs they just couldn't keep up with the others...the handling sucked, would wallow in the turns, the carbs had to have different jetting as to their location, the "inner" carbs, from the "outer" carbs. the center cylinders tended to overheat, the brakes mediocre.
Why do you think they were "repurposed" later as a touring machine?
Many examples of the CBX have been heavily modifyed now to address these issues, whole front & rear suspensions & wheels, brakes, all of it changed out or modifyed to fit from newer & better donor machines.
The outright design limits of those engines cost multiple thousands easily, trying to achieve power levels that we can now get right off the showroom floor.
flip inheck Yeah, I guess I did note "...the Suzuki & Hondas of the time..." misspoke, substitute Kawasaki...
From what I've read of those comparisons of the time, the big six brought up the rear in overall performance. The 82 900F & the 1100F of 83 handled "much" better, the outright mass of the six making it feel clumsy in comparison. The 79-83 Suzuki 1000-1100 getting the highest marks of the whole bunch. I had a 79 Suzuki(cast wheels, triple disc) GS1000 (two-valve), and a little later, the 84 GS1150ES, way lighter than the CBX, better handling, with 119 HP on tap, Fourteen more than the CBX...but the CBX was gone by 83...un-competitive, silly idea.
@@AndieBlack13 I owned a 78 Suzuki GS 1000, a 79 GS1000S and a 1979 CBX. I purchased all of them new. Most of your criticism is unfounded. AT THE TIME, the CBX handled just as well as or better many of its counterparts. An "un-competitive and silly idea"? Really? The CBX was a motorcycle of historic proportions. How many are still around compared to the others of its day? Few. Also, comparing an 84 GS1100ES to a motorcycle made half a decade prior is ridiculous.
@@rlyle5804 If you bothered to read the magazines of the time & the "Shootout comparisons"...the CBX ranked at the bottom. The CBX was an engineering exercise, an idea, a "can we do this?"...Considering the engines mass & more significantly, the polar moment of mass, the ability of the machine as a whole to handle as well as the others was significantly hampered by the width of the engine....there was no way "around that fact".
Sure, the CBX is a remarkable feat, but its remarkable traits are also its limiting traits.
@@AndieBlack13
I will start at the beginning.
"I was around bike shops when these came out, as the saying goes, "Don't meet your heroes". Compared to the Suzukis & Hondas of the time, they were just overweight pigs in comparison." You are an incorrect. The CBX compared well to the GS1000, the Yamaha 1100, the Kawasaki 1000 in handling and overall performance.
"The factory horsepower was just 105, but at over 600lbs they just couldn't keep up with the others..." Still incorrect. Here are some FACTS
Dry weight: Quarter Mile time speed
CBX 580 11.4 118
GS 1000 532 11.8 108
Kawi 1000 541 11.9 113
XS1100 603 11.8 114
Not that much of a difference for a STREET bike.
"the handling sucked, would wallow in the turns," REALLY? This is from Motorcyclist Magazine March 1980 "The Battle of the Monster Bikes" CBX vs Suzuki 1100 (a MUCH better bike than the 1000 of Kawi or Yamaha) and here are some statements;
"The GS1100 has an edge-but not a big one-on winding roads"
"Five staffers rode the bikes, and three voiced a preference for the CBX. One chose the GS1100 and one was undecided"
"the carbs had to have different jetting as to their location, the "inner" carbs, from the "outer" carbs." So?
"the center cylinders tended to overheat" Total BS
"the brakes mediocre." Again, total BS
"Why do you think they were "repurposed" later as a touring machine?
" Clearly the 4 cylinder engines are better, there is no question. But I hate when some sidewalk biker that clearly knows NOTHING about the subject spews garbage.
"Many examples of the CBX have been heavily modifyed now to address these issues," NO, they IMPROVED it. MOST motorcycles from that day are either STOCK or heavily MODIFIED.
"whole front & rear suspensions & wheels, brakes, all of it changed out or modifyed to fit from newer & better donor machines.
" Newer machines are better. you are comparing the CBX with later motorcycles. Not an logical comparison.
"The outright design limits of those engines cost multiple thousands easily, trying to achieve power levels that we can NOW get right off the showroom floor."NOW? Get it? How can a FORTY YEAR OLD MOTORCYCLE compete NOW? It cant.
Now for the later post.
"If you bothered to read the magazines of the time & the "Shootout comparisons"...the CBX ranked at the bottom." Show me the comparisons. FYI I have MANY of the magazines from that day. PS the superbike revolution had just started. Technology was advancing by leaps and bounds. Three years later a LOT changed.
"The CBX was an engineering exercise, an idea, a "can we do this?"... That is correct. Honda wanted to show off, and they did.
"Considering the engines mass & more significantly, the polar moment of mass, the ability of the machine as a whole to handle as well as the others was significantly hampered by the width of the engine....there was no way "around that fact". The engine width did have an effect, not to the degree you are saying. The CBX handled very will especially when you take into consideration its width.
Loved my CBXz back in the early 80s.........Marshall endurance 6-1, it sounded like an F1 car.
roaring like 6 cats in the craddle of an air cooled kettle
fidel catsro
Watched this running on the road more than 35 years ago and the sound was, well, something like deranged angels were screaming out in mezzo-soprano.
Awesome !!
That bike was a kick ass contender back in the day.
Those were the good ol days.
Thanks for the video.
a Honda concertesa deveria fabricar , essa peça de arte não ás tranqueiras de hoge,,,
Folks I just don't get it...why the hell rin the revs up so hard to simply Show Off these poor Japanese engines like that on top of the ride sonic noise produced too?? What's the point..we got it already it's got a lovely roar but why push it so hard without an garage air conditioner & huge shop fan to actually help keep this beast cooler..remember when you're pushing the RPMs out on the track..at least it's getting much cooler air force through the engine?
Hi,
it's great video and thank you very much for the sound... 😊
Best wishes from Bielefeld,
Martin
i remember when it came out . jaws dropped . it was amazing on the centre stand !
Honda. all ways Honda, nothing like Honda.
fantastica ,melhor que essas badola vea que fabricam nos dia de hoje
the bike i have always wanted.
It did not sell very well when it came out. Don't know why.
Because it was an ill handling beast that wouldn't stop or turn and cost more than many motorcycles that easily outperformed it. In '79 they sold for $4995.OO.
BIG, heavy, and expensive. And if you can't do your own maintenance, you'd have to sell a kidney to afford a valve adjustment and carb overhaul.
Because someone invented corners 😊
Hehe,Fail,Revelation 13:18, a fragment of papyrus 115 gives the number as 616.
Die CBX war eines der tollsten und schönsten motorräder damals,auch die bold,or genauso
Not trying to pick a fight, I'm just curious why you have twice referred to the Honda CBX 1000 as a "1050"? It's actually 1047cc. Are you rounding up? Even Honda rounded it down to "1000". ;)
For those wondering, back in the mid 80's I think it was, I had the silver '79 Super Sport with Vetter Vindicator II fairing, AM/FM/CB, Stereo, backrest and luggage rack.
I T-boned a car that pulled out across in front of me and I let the insurance company scam me out of totaling it for a busted open valve cover as it's worst damage. When I got out of the hospital, I went straight to the bike, put the key in turned it one click and it all lit up, so I stupidly turned the key another click and unbelievably, it started up, problem was, valves went flying out into the yard before I got it shut off. LOL
Anyway, I saw a comment in here saying the '79 bike cost something like $4995.00 new . I called Honda in California when I wrecked mine and they told me they could still sell me a crated (never sold/assembled) "new" 79 CBX for $3200.00
Mysteriously 6-8 months later when I got the Insurance money, they suddenly no longer had any available, after they had been just collecting dust in a warehouse for YEARS & YEARS. Pffft.
THAT'S Music!!!
Nice choice of Xs to post ;-)Thanks, Breno!
kinda fragile though. go through cam chains very fast.
Bennely 6 cylinder from the Italians sounded better but very rare now, I had 1 of these many years ago it handled like a pig, OK sounded good but very slow compared to today's machinery, the Kwak 6 cylinders were more reliable though and also handled like a pig.
When it comes to sound,, this ones got it. Have a garage,, years ago a guy passes and drops a CBX with a faulty cylinderfoot seal. After replacing it took some time for the guy to come and pick it up again. During that time it was cranked almost every day just to sound its 6-1 pipe,, a gooser. However how some guys handle road racing it is a mystery to me..
Won't you make this again Honda?? Please....
I would love to have one of those...
;.;
The honda shop wouldnt sell me one back in the day, i remember the 6 hour race at amaroo, the honda was winning, and the back wheel wouldnt come off in the pits to change the tyre and caused it to lose first place in the race
Awesome bike ♡ I ride the cr500 always wanted a street bike the dual triples... wow f1 sounding
Beast? Lol. Funny joke. Car > bikes
lower the pitch, it sound like a supra or skyline
ghotichooder89 like a straight six..... obviously
They are art on wheels. Beautiful machines. But, they were heavy and had a narrow rear tire. When they first came out, "brisk" acceleration would bald a rear tire in 800 miles.
A HONDA CBX 6 CYLINDER SHOULD BE FITTED WITH A KERKER 6 INTO ONE HEADER RIGHT FROM THE FACTORY THEN YOU HAVE THE BEST SOUNDING MOTOR CYCLE OF ALL TIME NO OTHER MOTOR CYCLE CAN EVEN COME CLOSE TO THAT SOUND ONCE YOU HEAR IT YOU WILL WANT HEAR IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND HAVE THE VOLUME AS LOUD AS YOU CAN PIN THAT BAD BOY THATS ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THAT.
such a shame those bikes are so fucking expensive, because I want one just for the sound of it!
it sounds like nothing out of this world, like an '80's F1 car.
I will have to make do with my 5th Gen. VFR800 for now, which I must say I also bought because of its awesome sound, which is also a nice bike, even if I say so myself :D
get.google.com/albumarchive/104884464513882441445 its a club of my parrents maybe they can get you one cheap.
Damn that's a whole lot of CBX's in one place! Thanks man! But I am afraid I don't have the money right now for it... Maybe in a far future!
Sounds like a Ju87 Stuka dive bomber... this is the sounds of rage
Excellent! :)
100% true. 100 hp at tops. My SE 95 in. Has that
would love a 6 cylinder muscle bike ( straight 6) i think the the rest of the world would too...
Must be a bitch to sync carbs
Nah, pretty easy- if you can do a four- you can do a six- they're split/paired up the same way. Tip- use Tally-Ho papers if you don't have a set of vacuum gauges!
my Dad raced Honda's in the late 60s early 70s he got a CBX 1100 super sport shaved the head tuned it I was 12 sitting on the back riding up to Pocono in those days with a wink an a nod my Dad was on the track I watched him scream that thing around the track sounded like an Indy car...!
R these engines actually comes with bikes manufactures or custom made.
Honda manufactured the CBX (and yes,they ALL came straight from the factory,with inline-6 engines in em)from 1978,through 1982. 82 was their last year of production unfortunately!!!
Factory
Should have bought the CBX in 81 but decided to get the 900F instead.
2.30........vypadá to, že ten "hejsek" v zamaštěným triku a šortkách o tom něco ví :-).
ostatní mají zacpané uši, jen on naslouchá :-)
There’s nothing quite like the fabulous Honda CBX
Sounds a bit like the Datsun 240Z L28 Engine
Ada yg di juwal gx mesinnya
oh shitfire!! sounds like rough sex!!!
Um sonho de consumo que ainda vou realizar.03-04-2017
I owned a 79 CBX in the mid 90s. It was pure music to hear. Regret selling it to this day.
know how you feel ,should have got rid of the wife instead.I owned a 78 cbx in the 80s
Me too:(
Had one in '79 , 114 hp. fastest i ever went ,212 mph.
And to think that I sold my persious silver 79 a long time ago
worst thing for an engine is to rev it with no load, pistons want to keep going and with no load no back pressure to stop them.
100 percent agreed!!!!!
Nossa e linda linda parabens pela materia
Una maquina muy novedosa para esa época, muy rápida fuera de serie 👍👌
can you imagine syncing/tuning 6 carbs..... jeez
two is bad enough lol
Honda should release these again in this present world of desire for retro bikes.
dont be too excited ....100HP : /
Pitty it had no torque.
What a great engineering feat!
Have a listen to Mike Hailwoods 250/6 and you will never be the same.
I was just thinking- sounds like a growlier version of the RC166!
Amazing how so many people comment about the sound of the CBX but no one seems to remember the Honda promotional material at the time where they describe how they engineered the exhaust to mimic the sound of a F4 Phantom jet fighter. They even went on to describe how the red instrument lighting was inspired by the aircraft gauges in the Phantom. I owned a '79 which tried to kill me in July of 198O. These machines were a novelty and do not deserve to be revered the way many people here are doing.
uguysrnuts what happened exactly in 1980 when it tried to kill you?
ta carai que que isso mano deixa o monstro sair da jaula carai
A proper old school mechanic by the look of him...
Whoever built the one on the dyno that was a unique sound for one 👍
It's a special motor.

Sounds like ayrtin senna's car... amazing...
My friend has one
sem comentários
jajaaj una boludez ese motor pesa 666 kilos
Sounds angry as fook!
un infierno misil
Iv'e got one! hehe!
Donut boy almost ran his off the road.
Good job Japan applause from Indonesia
Honda♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Sound and fury signifying....CBX!
Outstanding machine then and now
Martin Hughes nu
Hondav
Yes I want one!
A nice bike BUT too complex. Why six separate carbs? Three two barrels would make the same power with less tuning necessary. Now it could be made with port fuel injection with more power and fewer problems. Truly, a bike before its time.
Você. Gosta de moto. 😂😁😐😨😊
HERMOSOS SONIDOS......MÚSICA PARA LOS OÍDOS.....
666
This motorcycle is perfect 👌
Why have I never seen this?!?!
you must be too young!!!!!!
cool old and lested i love honda
1:35 - 1:47 is from Sweden !
Ohoo amazing power...
616 - do some research.
goodbye headphone users
For Joe Six Packs ?
I mean "for ageing Joe Six Packs" ?

Truly beast they are.
Music to my ears
