Show up at a car show in your $1100 reasonably clean vintage motorcycle and park it next to some dude’s $100k ‘67 camaro restoration and proceed to fit in just fine.
One of my exhaust bits fell off on the highway at some point today... $7 at the muffler shop later and they flared me up some 1.5" tubing I can cut later and weld some mufflers onto it so my damn ears can stop bleeding. A straight-piped 500 v-twin sounds good but... when you’re right on top of it it gets tiring at 70mph @ 6800rpm or so.
EDIT: One of the weirdest things about the CX is that at idle it sounds like any old lazy torquey Harley whatever the hell but it’s a super short stroke engine with super short gears so when you accelerate you’re shifting more like a sport bike. It’s bizarre. I’ve ripped through three gears by the time I hit 35mph.

Resto-mod muscle cars are the best deals out there right now. Their $100k is your $25k.

Is it true that the CX500 was the first production motorcycle to use tubeless tires?

It was among the earlier bikes, but a lot of 78 Honda bikes used those comstar wheels that ran tubeless tires.

Uhmm... if you rip through 3 gears by the time you hit 35mph on a sport bike... your doing it wrong. ;)
Also, I love the bike.

Bike hasn’t been in one piece long enough to go get it. Also I’m having trouble getting ahold of my birth certificate.
Thanks obama

Did you consider taking an MSF class? A weekend of MSF netted me a little card and one quick trip to the DMV later, I had my endorsement.

This is exactly what I did and it was well worth the cost. Learned a ton and I had been riding for a while.
