Just joined!
Hello from Camano island, Washington state. I've been a Honda guy since 1968. I have been restoring 1975 gl1000's for the last 4 years and I love keeping busy with them but I always wanted a cbx. I tried bidding on eBay for a couple of red 79's but always missed out at the last second or of course, too expensive. I found this guy on the Oregon coast with a 1981 who is the original owner and is 85! He's kept it inside and has never used ethanol gas and has tried to ride it a little bit every month or have his friend ease it around. So this is my start into the world of the cbx!!

Welcome to the site.
Looks like your new bike won't need much work.
Although you being a fan of the naked Wing that busy dashboard on your CBX might be a bit distracting. haha.
