PeterConnor Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I have a soft spot for sportsers. Nice job on that one. I agree on your theory and also show my soft spot for V twins in general. I just had this jewel dropped off at my door this morning. I see the flat black has already started on the front fender. Somebody saw you coming. On a serious note, it is kinda cool in an ugly sort of way. Nice find. Sure to be the only one at bike night. There were plenty of cx's back in the day in England , a firm favorite with couriers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFR4Lee Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Gotta love the N+1 theory. I just wish i could push the practical applications further. Think Jay Lenos garage. The limits of space and time are a problem, not to mention money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonque Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I really like your cx650. I've had my cx500 for almost 5 years now, and it has been bullet proof. It always starts and runs no matter how much I lax on maintenance or how cold it is. Keep the oil and coolant fresh and it will run forever. Just have to be careful about the timing chain guides. If they break, might as well get a new bike. That part is getting harder to find. I got lucky when I replace all of my engine seals 4 years ago, they were in good nic.

Snowdog Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The CX was known as the plastic maggot this side of the pond. Not a fan of either TBH. But each to his/her own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But each to his/her own It wasnt in the US because it didnt have any plastic. It was a naked bike only here. You guys had the cx500E and C650E with the fairings.

Err no, the CX was naked in the main, some owners did put front fairings and screens on their bike. It was called a maggott, 'cause it was fugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enzed_viffer Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Sportster is the best bike Harley makes . Saw a groovy Sportster in Woking, UK over the summer That looks quiet. Grrrrrrr! One thing that REALLY annoys me here (and it's probably the same everywhere) is that it seems to be de rigeur for Hardley Ableson owners to have either "drag pipes" or (the latest trend) open headers. And said owners then cruise around, blipping the throttle, revving the snot out of their petroleum distillate fueled posing pouches, as if to scream. "Look at me! LOOOK AT MEEEE!!!" And it seems that the cops and bike shops tacitly endorse this behaviour by treating it as normal, solely because it's so widespread. Here in UnZud, all vehicles have to have a 6-monthly/yearly Warrant of Fitness check, which would - by its legal provisions - automatically fail such noisy beasts. However, Hardley owners know that the same shops that sold them the drag pipes will happily rubber-stamp their WOF test and issue a new label. And so, the cycle is perpetuated....
