First registered in February 1980, this Honda
CX500 is powered by the marque's distinctive 496cc V-twin engine, producing
approximately 50bhp and renowned for its reliability, smooth power delivery and
touring capability. Now over 46 years old, this increasingly sought-after
classic presents well in its attractive black and red colour scheme, which
continues to suit the bike's innovative design.
Honda's CX500 was unlike anything else on the
market. Designed as a practical, low-maintenance touring and commuting
motorcycle, it featured a liquid-cooled transverse V-twin engine with shaft
drive, a combination more commonly associated with much larger and more
expensive machines.
The CX500 quickly gained a reputation for
outstanding reliability, durability and everyday usability. The model proved
popular with police forces, courier fleets and long-distance riders around the
world, and today is regarded as one of Honda's most innovative and dependable
motorcycles of the era, with surviving examples enjoying an increasingly strong
following among classic Japanese bike enthusiasts.
Showing 36,184 miles, the Honda is
offered with a V5C registration document together with a history file containing
11 previous MOT certificates, helping to support its recorded mileage and
long-term history.
