Never marketed in the U.S., this classic old Honda was sold in Canada only in 1983 and 1984. (The American market got the same GL650 sold here, CX650 Turbo - and a custom CX650C. These four bikes used the same motor, but have significant differences.) This bike has had a lot of care (and dollars) lavished on her over the past few months. Upgrades include:
Collector plate (cheap insurance).
New decals (28) and gloss black paint w/clearcoat.
New Shinko 712 tires.
Gas tank professionally cleaned and sealed.
Vacuum petcock rebuilt.
New brake fluid F&R.
New brake pads.
Fresh coolant, new thermostat, temp. sender.
New engine oil and filter.
New clutch plates.
Heavy-duty EBR clutch springs.
New clutch cable.
New chrome gas cap.
New fork seals, fresh fork oil.
Re-chromed engine guards.
Re-chromed exhaust headers.
New seat.
New spark plugs.
New air filter.
New Yuasa battery.
Instruments professionally rebuilt by Joel Levine.
Now with 67,000km on the odometer, she runs beautifully, after mixture adjustment and carb. synchronization at Action in Victoria. Compression is 170 in both cylinders, just as Honda recommends, and she delivers 55-60mpg.
This bike is not perfect (that was never my intention). But she is in very good shape (cosmetic and mechanical) and this design, Honda's first V-twin (which began as the CX500 in 1978) shows the superior engineering with which Honda revolutionized the motorbike industry 50-odd years ago.
