The Honda CBX is highly valued among classic motorcycle collectors, with older models owned by icons such as Jay Leno and Evel Knievel.
This particular model, a 1979 CBX, was found in original and pristine condition, with only about 2,570 kilometers on the clock and untouched since 1982.
Recently sold for $30,000 at an auction in Melbourne, the price is considered a bargain, as some CBXs in similar condition have fetched up to $50,000.
The CBX is famous for its inline six-cylinder engine, which is fully exposed and delivers a distinctive and remarkable sound.
The motorcycle, which has been well-preserved, represents a rare and valuable example of Honda’s history. The lucky buyer certainly made a great deal, and it remains to be seen whether the bike will be restored to ride again or kept as a collectible item.
