Just recently aquired a 79 Honda CBX which I have now discovered is a European model with sport options.
Little bit about me

Raced road bicycles for many years (still ride 200 miles a week on average)
Race vintage classic modern with AHRMA. (Suzuki RGV250 / KTM RC390R)
I'm really a 2 stroke guy with many 2 stroke road & dirt bike builds through the years
