Very few six-cylinder bikes have ever been produced. This impressive Honda CBX1000 Six has been part of the Brian Ditchfield collection for the last ten years. Brian is a retired engineer and lifelong motorcycle enthusiast who has in the past run a successful Sidecar GP team, finishing in the top six for the 2003 World Championship. The CBX1000 presents in fantastic condition and has obviously been cherished throughout its life, maintaining a good degree of originality. A low handlebar version, it is fitted with a Marving replica of the genuine 6-into-2 chrome exhaust system and still has its FVQ rear shocks, items often replaced in period. The Honda is being offered with a good paperwork file containing 20 old MOTs, a few old tax discs, a Honda technical training manual, a V5C and a fascinating record of the numerous occasions a previous owner had the 24 shims checked. The carbs were overhauled in May this year, including vapour blasting at a cost of £775. Run recently, it would be wise to carry out the normal checks before use. A beautiful-looking machine in Candy Red and a rare example of a six-cylinder-engined bike, the CBX is already considered a classic and should continue to appreciate in value.
