I like this one for it's simplicity

Holy crap that’s ugly.

That’s all she wrote.

And check out the tyres. The CX500A appeared in 1979, not 1949.

Bloody horrible. Sorry Weeksy

Ive seen a few decent looking CX specials.
Thats not one of them.
Or at least some of it looks OK, the rest looks unfinished.
Sort of rolling chassis with engine but for me I'd call it a spares or repairs sale.

What often gets me is they remove the ugly bits but can't be arsed to find and put good looking bits back in their place. They always look sort of 90% finished and as anyone who has extensively modified a vehicle knows that last 10% is always the bit where the real hard work comes in.

On the bright side though, I do like the colour and the Honda wing logo on the tank.

Flat bench on top of an engine and a riding position guaranteed to cripple anyone over 7yrs old if they rode it for more than one minute.

I'm just not seeing the attraction with the majority of these Bike Shed type specials.

On another look, I'd also wonder how long the subframe supporting the seat would last, given that it would have originally have been attached under the rider's bum to a big loop of steel!




That's from here:

Worlds ugliest fucking engine ever. It doesn't matter how you tart it up, it will always be ruined by that engine.

No matter what you do to a CX, it'll never look 'nice'.
