The CX500 Turbo was released in 1982. The CX500 Turbo (also known as the CX500TC) was only produced for the 1982 model year. It was superseded by the CX650TD (CX650 Turbo; ‘D’ for 1983) for the 1983 model year, which was itself discontinued the same year. The 1982 CX500T was Honda's first production motorcycle to have the programmed fuel injection system.
This 1982 Honda CX 500 Turbo was purchased by the late vendor in 2020 to form part of a small collection of Hondas. With just 5,343 examples of the model built, this machine is a true survivor today. It was reported that just six 1982 models were registered for the road in 2020 and another 14 off-road in the UK. This CX Turbo has benefitted from some major work that was carried out in 2018. The work included the removing of the turbo and a new rod for the wastegate and the reassembling, new water pump and gaskets, the rebuilding of all the brakes, refurbed wheels, replacing the head’s race bearings, with other work totaling some £1,545.00. It comes to auction complete with a current V5C, and a fresh MOT and is in running condition, sales catalogue and a receipt for the work carried out.
