1982 Honda CX 500 Turbo

PC03E-2002014

Completely restored. Odometer shows 27K, but it’s a nearly brand new bike. Beautiful paint. New decal set (finest quality.) Powder coated wheels and forks. Powder coat black items where applicable. New Gustavson’s windscreen. Top end was gone through just as a matter of course. It’s got the stator update (so no worries there.) It’ starts and runs nicely (check out the MOVIE of a start and rev up sequence by following link below.) Follow this link to a couple web pages with plenty of photos of the bike in greater detail, and a little movie (as mentioned above): http://web.me.com/paulschiemer/Honda_CX500T/Photos.html (might have to cut and paste it in place on your browser.) HERE'S A BONUS- THE WINNING BIDDER TAKES THIS BEAUTIFUL BIKE AND TWO PARTS BIKES AS A PACKAGE.I included a couple shots of the parts bikes in the body of photos here- but there's a web page with more shots on there.Follow that link and it will take you there for more shots! So, it's the beautifully restored Turbo and two parts bikes all at the same time.I'VE REDUCED THE RESERVE, AND LOWERED THE BUY-IT-NOW PRICE.Anxious for some buyer to take them all off my hands and start having fun with a show winner, and maybe BUILD another one from the parts bikes! Your FACTOIDS; the CX500T was the world's first turbo-charged production bike. The CX500 Turbo (also known as the CX500TC) was only produced for the 1982 model year and was superseded for the 1983 model year by the CX650 Turbo which was itself based upon the naturally aspirated CX650. The CX500 Turbo was sold only in limited numbers, with a total of around 5,400 manufactured. The Turbo's powerplant was based on the water-cooled V-twin with four pushrod-operated overhead valves per cylinder used in the shaft-drive CX500 introduced a few years earlier—itself a groundbreaking design. In fact, the engine case was retained nearly intact from the original CX500, having been designed from the outset to accommodate turbo-charging. The turbocharger, at peak boost providing approximately 19 psi of over-pressure, nearly doubles the power output of the engine when on-boost. BID OFTEN - BID HIGH - BID LIKE YOU MEAN IT - BID TO TAKE 'EM HOME WITH YA!Any questions, feel free to ask away. I'll get back to you quickly.The goal at this end is to sell the WHOLE BUNCH OF TURBOS at one time, and make some room here.The main one (the 'nice' one) is a show winning example.It does have a couple small blems to deal or live with- but nothing major (handling marks mostly.) Come see the gathering of TURBOS.Test drive the 'nice' one, then load your new finds on your trailer or truck and head home! REMEMBER- WINNING BIDDER TAKES ALL THREE BIKES AT THE ONE LOW PRICE.Everything goes with them- you will certainly make some money back selling off the parts you don't need.MAY EVEN END UP WAY AHEAD! Good for you then! Take a look at the website I set up.It has tons of photos and even a start up movie. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST AND GOOD LUCK! Already 24 'watchers'. Let's see some bidding! (the reserve is pretty high up near the 'buy-it-now', so no worries getting the auction primed and kick started, eh?) Thanks again folks. [how 'bout that OEM seat? nice!]
