[Closed] Bike pron - V12 Honda CBX

White socks.

I'm out.

I'm the handling on that bike is bloody awful.
From an engineering aspect it's clever, from a practical point you wouldn't want to use it for your commute.

Just so im clear on this, a V12 engine in a bike? 😯

I bet his neighbours fricking love him revving the balls out of that when he shows it off to his mates.

As lolo says I suspect it'll handle like a top heavy barge and won't be any faster than an off the shelf sports bike.

Here's me circa 1980 on my Honda 6

It wasn't that good tbh

Pah! also in you tube links H16 😯

and won't be any faster than an off the shelf sports bike.

I don't think the owner really cares, it's all about the engineering. Looks like most of the frame has been built from the ground up, too, so if he's gone that far, he's probably got the weight distribution sorted. Looks a bit longer than a regular CBX. Great engineering, to put the two engines together like that; even whizzier that the Aerial Atom V8 which uses two 'Busa motors joined together.
Now, [i]there's[/i] an idea for a V12 engine...

I like Honda Goldwing ... 😀

Look at this beauty ...

BMW do a straight six in the K1600GT - actually a fairly 'normal' looking touring bike...

Yes, the BMW is nice too but not as big as the Goldwing.

I like the Goldwing with "landing gear" as I think it's funny but functional. 😆

Didnt pay anything for it, it was my dads, he's very ill and gave it to me last week. I've not ridden it yet, need to get the cam belt changed. Picture was taken a few years ago when we rode from Kidderminster to Aberystwyth. It still runs though.

He also makes a nice dh mountainbike...

I think I have only seen that particular Goldwing once in the early 80s. Also I remember seeing for the first time a CBX with its monster engine that I was strangely attracted to especially the number of exhaust pipes that machine got on it.

Size is everything when it comes to machine

Amateurs!

Helicopter turbines is where it's at:

(if you're trying to make an amazing powerful, but completely impossible to ride motorbike 😉
