Vehicle Detail
Make us an offer on this bike!! You never know!! We are selling a few bikes from our private collection. This is a 1983 CX500TC Turbo. We bought this bike in 2005 out of Iowa. A 3-year ground-up restoration was completed on this beautiful bike in 2010. Every part, grommet, nut and bolt was removed from this bike. Every part on this bike has been either plated, powder coated, painted, polished, restored or replaced. There are countless hours and thousands of dollars spent on this very complicated restoration. This is no doubt one of the finest CX500 Turbos on the planet. A true collectors item and ready to add to your collection or to hit the show circuit. Look at the pictures carefully and you will see how much detail was paid attention to on this restoration. From the windshield cleaning instructions decal to the tip of the rear fender, we brought this one back to almost showroom new condition. I'll be glad to discuss in detail exactly what we did to the bike during the restoration to any serious buyer. Nicknamed the $6 Million Motorcycle in its day as this is what Honda spent on the development of this true piece of history. Mostly a statement as to the Honda engineering teams abilities, this is the very first motorcycle produced with dual front disc brakes, rear disk brakes, shaft driven, adjustable front & rear suspension, turbocharged, fuel injected and all this with a vertically opposed V-Twin engine. The bike has 26 miles on the restoration. We chose to keep the speedometer at the actual mileage when we purchased it. The pictures speak for themselves as to the quality of the restoration. A few things you can't see other than the obvious are the rebuilt Turbo done by Mr. Turbo, valve job including new seals, new stator, radiator flush and all calipers have new seals. We bought and used as many OEM parts as possible. Two things that I know of are not original to this bike. First, the seat. We purchased a brand new CX650 Turbo seat from a Honda dealer friend of ours. The 650TC seat is almost identical to the CX500TC except for the strap. We chose to go with a Honda original seat that was close to the original versus an aftermarket seat cover. The second thing are the wheels. The wheels were gold anodized when new. The wheels are original to the bike but we painted them versus anodizing them. Our plating contact said we would have to disassemble the wheels to anodize them. The wheels clearly say on them not to take them apart so we stayed on the side of caution. I noticed when we took these pictures the tank has some surface and could use a cleaning but is still useable. It hasn't been coated. This bike was built in 11/81 which makes it an early made bike in the one year run of the CX500TC. According to the Honda ID Guide, this is bike number 933 of an estimated 5,400 produced world wide. It is estimated only less than 2,000 are left. Motor number is PC03E-2002083 which makes it a numbers matching bike. Please ask any questions you have and look at all the pictures.
