The Honda CBX 1000 Super Sport, introduced in the late 1970s, is a
legendary superbike that left an indelible mark on the motorcycling
world. While not the first motorcycle to come equipped with a
six-cylinder engine, the CBX 1000 Super Sport was technically
composed, delivering an astonishing blend of power and smoothness.
Upon introduction in 1978, sub-12 second quarter mile times were
the norm while crossing the line at nearly 118 miles per hour. The
distinctive transverse placement of its inline engine featured a
bank of six-into-two exhaust pipes, creating a symphony of sound
that further enhanced its allure.
For 1981 Honda revamped the CBX 1000 Super Sport into a
sport-tourer with a revised suspension system, larger brakes with
twin front discs, a larger "sculptured" 5.8 gallon fuel tank, rider
leg protectors and twin removable panniers added to each side. This
well-cared for example is offered from the final year of Super
Sport production, finished in the most 80s of all colors -
Pearlescent White - with appropriate tri-color blue Super Sport
graphics. Recently emerging from a western Pennsylvania motorcycle
collection, this Honda CBX 1000 Super Sport is offered with 9,513
miles at the time of cataloging and will surely deliver an exciting
and period experience for years to come.
