mmentsIsn't this a beautiful one-of-kind Custom Bike?!And that's right! It's not a Guzzi...This is a complete restoration and meticulous customization of the famous CX 500 shaft drive V Twin by Honda from the early 80's. From the powder-coated frame, to the custom leather seat, to the hidden electronics and the digital gauges, everything on this bike is either new or in restored-to-new condition with less than a thousand miles since the build.Google the reviews on the CX 500. Very interesting history, and the engine is known to go forever.The detail on this build is incredible. Matched pattern hand grips and leather seat, recessed stop and start buttons, knock out paint, custom mounts, digital gauges, Sportster shocks, special logo treatment, Shurai battery and charger, new rims and tracker tires, etc. This bike puts all those stripped down and re-done CB 550's and 750's to shame!Done in the traditional cafe racer / street tracker style, this piece of art combines reliable simplicity and exciting performance while showing off its one-of-kind beauty with a gorgeous paint job, elegant lines and its aggressive stance. Very quick and comfortable riding position. Smooth shifting and torqy shaft drive. A flicky ride for sure in the twisties and fast in the straight away!Shows and runs like a new bike while sounding as good as it looks with its throaty growl. Very fun to drive, but plan extra time if you are going to stop so you can explain to the instant fans what they're looking at!Email for additional pictures and the list of special components. The closer you look at this gem, the better it gets.Thousands of dollars and hundred of hours have gone into this stunning motorcycle. Now, YOU can take it to the shows, down the road, up the country and then park it in your living room!Please, no hobby shoppers, lowballers or third party helpers. Bid only if you are ready to buy and please don't ask for the reserve.The bike lives under a dust cover in a climate controlled garage and is driven every week or two. I can store at no charge for up to two weeks. Local pick up or I can assist with shipping.
