50 Coolest Motorcycles Of The 70s

33. Honda CBX

The CBX was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1978 to 1982. Equipped with a 1047cc in-line 6-cylinder engine capable of producing 105 bhp, it became the flagship model of the Honda range. It was well received by the press but was outsold by the Honda CB900F. As a promotional exercise, CBX’s were ridden by traveling marshals during the 1979 & 1980 Isle of Man TT. The 1979 CBX run a quarter mile in 11.36 seconds with a maximum speed of 117.95 mph. In 2011, Australian publication 2 Wheels Magazine named the CBX as one of their favorite 12 superbikes of all time.
