This ones a little different. It's a 1978 CX500 that was just a bike that made sense to me. Liquid cooled-shaft drive Vee twin with 4 valves per cylinder 50 HP @ 9000 RPM and a little heavy at 490 Lbs but built like a brick s__t house to last forever. City of San Francisco still runs them today as three wheelers.
As you can tell by now I was and still am a Honda guy. Hard to beat Honda if you like to ride and hate to wrench. I wrench for a living and like things that are put together with the thought of not needing a lot of maintenance. This was a fun bike with a great power band and really got me into the whole twin thing.
