March 15, 20242 yr Administrators I remember a SoCal ad for this bike back in the late 70s. 60 mph in first gear, 95-100 mph in 2nd gear, and you're in Arizona when you get to 6th gear! 😲 Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer.

March 15, 20242 yr I'll give Honda kudos for developing a 6 cylinder bike. It was unique for the time...in reality, the heat it generated on the inboard cylinders and the fact it was only slightly >1000 cc...it wasn't all that powerful...great marketing however! The CBX experiment did lead to the more popular CB900 series...a much more practical and better handling bike.
March 15, 20242 yr I like the big trails for comfort. I ride this big boy and will only use the car when i'm forced to, doesn't matter the weather... I have it since 2019 and put 50,000km on it already.

March 17, 20242 yr My first was a '72 Honda CB450 My second and last were '81-82 Suzuki 650s...a G and then a GL Then my college best friend went and got himself killed taking a neighbor's new Honda CB900F around the block on the 4th of July while home on leave, and soon thereafter my wife and I started having kids. They were a lot of fun, but the real danger seemed like the other guy's problem until it...wasn't.

March 17, 20242 yr Rule 1- you are invisible ! Rule 2- should you be seen, they will aim for you ! These 2 rules kept me alive on motorcycles.
March 17, 20242 yr Administrators My recommendation would be to get a good set of air horns to replace the cheap beep-beep ones that come with the bike. The ones I had saved my ass several times!

March 17, 20242 yr Back in the 50-60s near Brands Hatch motor racing circuit and Farningham on the main A20 road. They renamed Gorse Hill to Death Hill motorcycle rider`s put a record on the jukebox in Kingsdown then raced down to Farningham roundabout and back before the record finished. A lot never made it back. Some impact speeds were around 200+mph head-on with vehicles. Raymond Fry.
March 17, 20242 yr Richard, provided you don’t somehow get access to a time and transport yourself and your bike to 1950’s England and attempt to race to a nearby roundabout and back within the space of a record played on a dukebox, then I’m sure your new triumph will provide you years of enjoyment and fuel for your soul.

Welcome to the fold. I was there born in Swanley. Sat on the embankment near Farningham roundabout watching them race in packs and hear the impact of some. formerly Johnson's Cafe | West Kingsdown, Kent: now the offi… | Flickr PS. yes, I`m getting on a bit. Back then no speed limit. Just need a provisional licence a Triumph Tiger Cub 200cc capable of doing a ton. Then race of into the sunset and your parents hope you survive.
