Needed a long range bike for awhile now. Never liked the Yamaha large 4T bikes, always preferred the Honda. Considered the CB750F or CB900F series but then this came up less than a mile from my house..so took the plunge. 1982 CBX1000 Prolink. Another icon from the late seventies and early eighties. Not as desirable as the earlier 79 model yet but think will get there as it has some rather big improvements. 

Don`t like the custom sprayjob..wud like to get it back to original silver/grey colour. Never seen one with gold rims. It has had a wider rim conversion to take a 160 tyre (which I think suits it). And has a beautiful sounding 6 into 6 exhaust. Only issue..2 of the carbs pilot jets blocked as it stood 14months..so having to ride on the choke at low speeds and wont idle.

Not sure on the colour scheme I quite like the original retro Honda paint Job my Old CB 750 F2 was in that Burgundy type colour,glad to see its got those engines crash bars, remember the local Honda dealer back in the day servicing a CBX under warranty  and it fell and caused a lot of damage not good lol.
