    I love this generation so much, I have a CX and it’s a dream.

    I’d always imagined servicing and balancing 6 carburetors on the CBX would be a nightmare, but also imagined it’d be worth it haha

    That’s beautiful and great condition too!

    Those six cylinders! … what year is the bike?

    Wow!

      I used to read jokes (mostly from before my time, but also on forums) about my '77 Suzuki GS with its 4-cylinder being a “sewing machine” because the parts were so small to fit that many cylinders in such a small engine. But 6 is even more impressive.

      Honda was showing off its design and engineering chops. Interestingly, it wasn’t significantly wider than the CB900F (which outsold it) despite its higher displacement. To my knowledge, only Italian maker Benelli ever produced another inline 6, the Sei, but it was only made in 750 and 900cc versions.
