The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other powered products. The legendary inline four-cylinder CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike, but Honda always liked to push the boundaries with different layouts. The transverse vee-twin CX500 was such a model and after initial teething problems built up an enviable reputation for durability, becoming the despatch rider’s weapon of choice.

This 1978 Honda CX500 was recently discovered in an old council lockup from a deceased estate. Not used for some time, it will need full recommissioning or restoration, or could make an ideal bobber project. It is being offered with a current V5C and a set of keys and is sold strictly as viewed and at no reserve.
