This is a Honda CX500 Eurosport bike that is one of my Bikes in my collections that I picked up a few years back from a Gentalmen /Doctor that Moved to the US in 1985 & brought his bike with him! This Honda CX500 model was never sold in any US Honda Dealerships so in order to have one of these you would have to have it shipped overseas from the U.K & from reading blogs a few other countries that there honda dealers sold them.This is a head turner Bike for sure that will draw alot of intrest in the US & because of the economy & loosing my Job "Layoff" I have to part with it! The Bike is in very good condition & runs I just stared it the other day for a quick couple of seconds but, because I haven't rode it in a in a number of years all fluids have been drained the brake calipers need to be cleaned or rebuilt fronts & rear,needs a clutch cover gasket,a battery,left rear turn signal bulb,L/H carb air boot & a l/h fork seal & the bike is road ready! The Bike is all orignal with the orignal exhaust that the l/h one has a small patch on the top rear side of it & the other is very nice! Other then those few small items the rest of the bike is sweet! With a mint perfict seat & a genuine hondaline rear luggage rack,good tires plus it's very clean! The bike does not have a Title but I do have Previous U.K registration documents,all the shipping & customs paperwork with a copy orignal owner's passport & insurance that was put on it with all matching Vin #'s of the bike that what I was told is enough to get a title for it but nos 100% sure on that..So the bike is sold as is with out a title...Please read the blog below that I copied off a wedsite that tells a bit more about this bike...Please if you have any questions just drop me an email..Thanks Brian Rider: Mark Wiggins, Boerne, Texas Age: 49 Occupation: Construction manager Rides: 1982 Honda CX500 Eurosport, 1982 Honda CBX, 1995 Yamaha XT350, 2002 KTM 250 EXC Mark’s story: “After leaving high school in 1980 and moving from Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) to South Africa, I got my first CX500 before migrating to a 1979 CBX, which did many 1,200-mile trips from South Africa to Rhodesia. As the years passed, I yearned as everyone does for the bikes of their youth. “I found this 1982 Honda CX500 Eurosport in the U.K. on eBay when I moved there. Having always preferred the Euro styling, I purchased it sight-unseen with 11,500 original miles. After many happy rides I unfortunately had an accident and it was written off by the insurers. I then shipped it to the States in boxes when I moved here and set about rebuilding it. All I have done is a cosmetic restoration, replacing items damaged in the crash with NOS parts sourced on eBay U.K. and Germany (a large source of Euro parts), and eBay U.S. What’s nice about this CX compared to the U.S. version is the more sports-orientated styling, which makes it a very pretty bike to look at. It now has 17,000 original miles, and although not quite perfect (it needs the correct Euro-style exhausts) it still draws a crowd wherever I ride it, as they were never sold or imported here. I was told it was an early pre-production Spanish launch bike, but cannot confirm that. I do know the red color was produced for Australia and maybe Ireland, but not the U.K.” Read more: http://www.motorcycleclassics.com/from-the-owner/honda-cx500-eurosport-zbmz1209zbea.aspx#ixzz2BIhYt9S2
