Hello from Switzerland

Post by z928 »

Hi,
My name is Sacha Marc , year 1964, and I live in Estavayer-le-Lac / Switzerland.
This week a dream came true buying a CBX 1 from 1980.
I am very happy to be a part of the CBX community.

Best regards

Looks to me like a 1979 model. It has 79 wheels and the Euro small alternator, which was a 1979 item only. Depending where it originally came from, it is typical for Europe where vehicles are identified by the year they were registered for the first time, not when they were made.

Thank you gentlemen for the warm welcome.

@EMS: you are right in Europe we note only the first registration.

...and a really late production unit to boot. According to the VIN number, it is a late December 78/early January 1979 bike
