It's a case of "becaues i can" rather than "should i"

It looked pretty cool at the time, and I don't like choppers, but all choppers are built for looks, so it doesn't matter whether it worked well or not, but he did ride it to the show and we followed him for a few miles on the way to the show

It'll still have a bendy frame I suppose, but the forks and swinging arm should help quite a bit?

That I love...

But getting in between all those engine fins with a toothbrush to clean them? Patience of a saint!

They handled quite nicely standard, given that they're bloody heavy, wide and from the late 70s, you could scrape the crankcases going round corners on 80s tyres, just don't try and start one with it on the side stand, they'll hydraulic lock.

Mate had a CBX, he could wheelie it for miles. I was on the back of another mates CB900 when al of a sudden there was a howl as the CBX came by us at about 80mph front wheel in the air with my mate hanging off to one side so he could see where he was going. He had a GPz1100 as well but could wheelie and do donuts on the CBX much better than the kawasaki.
Of the big '70s/'80s Japanese superbikes a CBX is maybe one I fancy most apart from maybe a Z900, GPz900 or GS1000.

I hadn't seen one for years, then I got involved with the local VJMC, there's a bloke there who's got one, it looks feckin huge, I don't remember them being that big, but they must have been.

I keep meaning the scan the Fred Gassit cartoon I've got where he's wheeling what I seem to remember is a CBX and the forks fall off.
