800x600 1982 HONDA CX500 TURBO – ALL ORIGINAL SURVIVOR! 8,627 ORIGINAL MILES, VIN # JH2PC0302*CM001XXX, ENGINE # PC03E-2002367, Manufactured 11/81 800x600 This Honda CX500TC epitomizes the late 70’s/early 80’s sportbike/tourer that became a permanent part of Honda's reputation and still represents the classic style… The condition of this machine is highly original and un-restored. The frame and engine numbers are factory correct and original. It is the 500 cc engine. The gearbox is also original to the machine. This Honda CX500 Turbo is completely original and has never been apart. I believe I am the fourth owner from new. It is in un-restored and almost showroom new condition, and being in running and riding condition is somewhat hard to find on these machines after all of these years. This machine has been in my collection for some time, is started on a regular basis, and ridden occasionally. When I purchased the bike, it had been in the ownership of another collector for many years who actually rode it from time to time. When I purchased the bike, I set about doing a re-commission of it by checking all of the major engine, transmission, and braking components for wear and safety. The gas tank was cleaned and coated, and the fuel system inspected and cleaned along with installation of a new air filter, all fluids were changed, and both front and rear brakes were replaced. The tires on the front and back are Metzelers, and are the correct style and size that were originally installed on the CX500 when new. The wheels are also original to the machine and are in excellent condition considering their age, with very nice gold anodizing. The seat is also original and the upholstery is in perfect condition with no rips, tears, or wear evident. The engine and transmission are in excellent interior condition due to the low mileage and absence of any type of harsh conditions or abuse throughout its life. A complete cleaning and detailing was performed, and although detailing on an original machine is never completed, the overall condition of the finishes is remarkable considering the age of the machine, and is in line with the low original mileage. The aluminum parts are also in excellent condition overall, but due to the originality, I did not want to go too far polishing any parts. The paint is the original Pearl Altair White with Moonstone Silver Metallic, and is nearly flawless. The original decals are still applied to the fairings, sidecovers, and tail section. All of the fairings, covers, etc. are in very good condition and are not in need of any type of repair. Please take a close look at the photos in the photo section of the ad as well as the body of the description. I have tried to accurately represent the motorcycle not only in my description, but also through the photos. The CX500 Turbo on the road is very easy to handle, and rides down the road very tight, with no shakes, shimmies, or rattles. It shifts and accelerates smoothly and holds the road as it should. There is absolutely NOTHING that needs to be done to this machine to ride it occasionally and enjoy it as a showpiece. Unlike other CX500s for sale on the internet, this one is ready to ride and not in need of any expensive service once you get it home. I am always looking for new machines to add to my collection and have several other motocross and enduro machines for sale, including other early Maico machines as well as Gilera and Can Am motocross and enduro machines. Please contact me if you are interested or have something interesting for sale. TERMS: $500 DEPOSIT WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE.
