Seriously Steve, I toyed with the idea of a maggot, then the minister of War and Finance let me get the ZX9R instead- no choice really!
As always though, love your work.

Funny thing is Honda built these to show that they could build a Guzzi but better, quite advanced with water cooling, shaft drive, cylinders twisted slightly to keep the carbs away from the riders legs and the gearbox spinning the opposite way to the crank to stop that lean that shaft drives get when revved
Compared to the Guzzis of the same vintage the CX was more powerful and a bit quicker
Oh and the speed record at Bonneville for a pushrod under 500cc bike is held by a CX, the Buells just cant keep up
