Honda CB900fz
SteveD CB500K0:
It did indeed. I had one of those as well (well, Eamon did and kept it in my barn):
That photo (the CB900, GS1000, XS1100 and Z1000) was taken by John Noble for Classic Bike magazine in November 2009.
The CBX550 shot is from when MCN tested the bike vs a CBR600RR...
Rozabikes Tim:
Still like the CBX550. Nice lines and proportions but complications with inboard brakes etc.
Laverda Dave:
I agree Rozabikes, the CBX550 was the first new bike I wanted to buy. The red ones looked great. I nearly traded in my 400/4 to get one after reading the road tests. It was a shame the bike was released before it had been properly developed and at a time Honda and Yamaha were going head to head in a new model war. Within 6 months of its release the stories began to emerge about cam chain problems and the difficulty servicing the inboard disc breaks.
I still hanker after one though but there are no decent ones about.
Rozabikes Tim:
Probably if a good one can be found it would be great as a little used classic for us old codgers. Not the spotty yoofs they were originally aimed at!
Bryanj:
Got one sat outside awaiting TLC, motad exhaust with some rust and a spare Netto one. Ran nice when parked but not had time to do anything. Fork seals leak but got new (and spare forks/mudguard) owes me about £860 if youre interested
