    Traitor!!! 1982 cbx 1000

    Hi XS 11 Friends,

    I'M A TRAITOR! My latest acquisition is NOT a Yamaha



    Unfortunately, Yamaha never made a 6-Cylinder.

    When I was a teenager, I took the liberty of sitting on a new CBX in the showroom of my local Honda dealer. I was IN LOVE!!! Unfortunately, my seated position on that bike was extremely short-lived. The showroom manager very quickly dislodged me from the bike! Obviously, a young skinny 16-17 year old was not capable of purchasing such a machine. The manager knew it and so did I. I swore that SOMEDAY I would own one of these beautiful machines. Forty years later..... I FINALLY OWN ONE!


    Safely tucked away with his "YAMAHA COUSINS"

    Sorry, had to do it.... Couldn't pass it up for the price and I've dreamed of one of these for more than 40 years.

    You have committed a sin which shall not be forgiven by the Yamaha family! Sometime soon a group of Shaolin Munks will mysteriously appear in your garage. Don't bother calling the police, there's nothing they can do to help...

      I'm getting ready to commit a sin myself. I'll be picking up an '80's Suzuki road bike of some kind from my BIL. The reason I'm getting it? It's FREE!! All I have to do is get it on the trailer and bring it home the 500+ miles. As I need to go to Santa Cruz, CA in August, it's on the way. I'll drop the trailer at his place, and load the bike and bring it home on the way back.
