The CBX went on the road today for the first time.....runs way better than I expected for something that hasn't been tuned yet... :smt041

One of the next projects up is my 86 GSXR1100....which was supposed to be already done by now, for it's 30th birthday.
Have yet to even get started on it.... :smt009

It has a leak at the head gasket where the oil drains back from the head...
Other than that, it had been in a dirt floor barn for about 4 years before I got to it, so it's worse than it looks in pics...

I think we need a soundtrack for the CBX. That is a superb selection of iconic bikes that you've amassed, curious what else you would like to add to it. I was fond of the GPZ550/GPZ1000 from the early '80's, but have only ever owned the RZ.

The one bike I have yet to have in my garage is a RD/RZ/RZV500....That has been the one that I just can never find at the right time/right condition/right price..... :smt009
I have the CBX running with no baffles...but no way of displaying it (still on phone...)...Sounds like an old F1 car :smt007

Funny you say that, the first CBX I heard with a pipe was at a local mall when I was 18, I could hear it on the other side of the building and thought exactly that, having recently been to an F1 race. I was on my bicycle and pedalled like crazy to the other side, surprised to find the sound coming from a motorcycle.
I agree on the 500, I assumed that and a 500 Gamma would be a forgone conclusion.

Very nice. A few more and you can write your shop off as a museum.

This is what the blue GS looked like when I first drug it home.
It was a long haul tour bike in its day...

That's how I meant it. :smt002 I've met a number of guys in the US that collect military vehicles and once they get past a certain number it is worthwhile doing.
