The Honda CBX sports motorcycle was manufactured by Honda from 1978 to 1982. With a 1047cc transverse six-cylinder engine producing 105 bhp (78 kW), it was the flagship of the Honda range. The CBX was well received by the press, but was outsold by its sibling introduced in late 1979, the Honda CB900F.
