Nurse Julie:
I have just watched some vids on YouTube of them bikes, pretty amazing stuff for a 250(I hadn't a clue what it was to be honest !!!).

That’s exactly what I thought when I saw that picture.

But remember the sheer size of the CBX engine. That looks too small.

 ;) yes it is a cbx 1000 my mate has three of them im sure i heard off another cbx rider that the engine is only an inch wider than an cb750 but that is at the crankshaft as you can see in the pic the alternator is piggy-backed behind the cylinders
 what a piece of engineering that one is

Orcade-Ian:
Certainly looks like a 1000 based unit to me.  Frame, side panels and other bits certainly are.  Wot, no chain guard?
Yes the CBX engine is only an inch or so wider than the 750 but still looks a big lump.  Honda even bevelled the engine covers at the bottom to give more cornering clearance.
I hated the paint job on my CBX Z when I bought it but it was very well done.  I sold it to a mate before I moved to Orkney and it’s now back to standard Silver and black. It still has the oversize motor though!  It sounded lovely with the Marshall system on and was ‘rather quick’ 🤓

I still have the Mike Hailwood tank though.

Crispy:
I'm pretty sure in amongst all the German talk ..I did hear the phrase ' cbx1000..' but that's all the info I could glean! I'd had a few beers as well! 😁
