A pic. Not a good pic, but a pic.
My 2nd favourite (modern) bike of all time, after the CBX
Nice bike Dave, a good model they were and handle well Glad you bought the right one, the 1300 released a couple of years later were an absolute bucket of crap.
Some folk have got way too much time on their hands money

As for being a bucket of crap...Hmm, It couldn't have been too bad as they only stopped building them a year or two back and they are still using the engine in the CTX1300....

I do enjoy collecting. It comes in a close third after breathing and sex.

If you like the classics Dave why not get yourself an old Bonnie 750 or a BSA, a long time family friend just recently sold ( virtually gave away ) his Triumph triple and my cousin has also just sold my deceased uncle's Indian Chief, a beautiful bike that my father and myself are absolutely fuming over for not being told about
Well, it goes back to my youth Craig, and what I relate to.I was in my teens in the seventies and sort of relate to those bikes more, although I do like the older ones that were around in your youth.
Even at hwy/freeway speeds the 13's would get a wobble when you backed off the throttle, the 1100 was a better engine too.
Honda's Build good motors!! & good bikes!lot of k's for a bike Dave! but looks to be in top condition for what it has done! what carb's do they use?
