Honda CBX description
Here is a fairly rare bike, only imported to the US in 1981 and 1982, Hondas 1st big mistake according to Jay Leno who owns a 1981 in Grey and bought it new! This was Hondas answer to the sport touring market-basically a slightly retuned CBX with a fairing and saddle bags that are detachable. Bike has been to California and back-not a showpiece but a attractive rider that definitely turns heads. Only real issue for a 32 yr old bike is the alternator is not charging-very common on these bikes as they age-I have checked the brushes and they are ok and the regulator has been tried too-must be the stator or rotor? I just charge the battery before I want to ride it and never go more than 50mis so it has the reserve to do that. Shifts well, clutch is good with no chatter pulls well from low rpm-a little sleepy till you hit about 6-7000 then sheer magic to and past the redline if you aren't careful! Like ripping silk just wonderful-nothing sounds like it. Starts right up and runs well-stops attractive rides well-no issues with carbs or gearbox-clutch is smooth and strong-shifts like butter. Cam chain doesn't make excessive noise and no oil leaks, a couple of small seeps. Previous owner replaced exhaust with current MAC setup-decent condition with no leaks and sounds awesome but loud-baffles are in but she screams like a Ferrari at 10,000 rpm-this is what a CBX is all about! Air forks and shocks are in terrific condition and I have not had to add air in the time I have owned it-about 4 mnths or so. Pulling the shock knob out to the firm setting really tightens the bike up like the original testers said. Brakes are ok-back is fine and has a later model rotor-front rotors work fine but are a bit scored up. Rims are original and tires have good tread with just a tiny bit of dry rot. Chain and sprockets still have some life but chain is near stretch limit. Feel free to ask questions...bike will come with a factory service manual. Sold as is where is. I am less than two hours from NYC, 30 minutes from Philly, and two hours from Baltimore Please be serious with your offer-an accepted offer is a contract to purchaseClear MA title signed by PO who had bike for many years-no liens.Local Pickup welcome and encouraged

Bahrain track days
Tue, 17 Dec 2013A few months ago, expat (and ex racer) John Beddall made contact to ask if I fancied doing some track day instruction out in Bahrain. After thinking about it for two seconds, flights were booked and a plan was put in place to look after around forty riders for a day at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC). Young Taylor Mac was also recruited to look after any tasty riders that I couldn’t deal with The Brits out there love their bikes, however, quite a few locals also turned up plus a few others from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. Most were on high end Superbikes, like S1000s, Panigales and RSV4s but there was also a healthy number R6s and new 675Rs. Although this fabulous Hermann Tilke designed circuit is around ten years old incredibly it has never hosted a bike race. The highlight of the year there is F1 but being owned by the Bahrainian Royal family, there is no desperate need for the circuit to operate as a profitable business. The track reminded me of Qatar but much more interesting as some great undulations have been built into its desert location. We shared the track with Supercars on the day (20mins on/20mins off) and as you might imagine it was betty swollocks for seven hours in the 30 plus temperatures. As usual there was a few offs with poor old RS1000 Aprilia mounted Andy breaking his femur early in the day. Two other buddies appeared to swap bikes mid air in another incident but fortunately escaped unhurt.In the evening everyone stayed for an al fresco dinner in the paddock with the craic going on for hours as the Fosters kept flowing. All in all it was a brilliant trip and it has left me thinking there could be cost effective ways of getting Brits out there for track days next winter. I'll keep you posted.Cape Town next to make my racing comeback at the Killarney 8 hour on a CBR150 Honda. Hopefully I can manage the beast, I'll post a full report next week.

Tue, 24 May 2011A 65-year-old man from Windsor, Ontario, Canada is attempting a cross-continent ride from Key West, Fla., to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska and back, on a Honda CBR125R. Bob Munden of Windsor is attempting to set the record for the smallest motorcycle to make the trip from the southernmost accessible point in North America to the northernmost point, and back. A print shop owner with a stable of five motorcycles, Munden will attempt the trip on the 124.7cc single-cylinder four-stroke Honda CBR125R, an entry-level sportbike model Honda offers in Canada.
