My wife hasn't been on a ride with me since I gave her a ride on one :) . Lots of power , chitty handling though , unlike the Benelli Six ;) .
That one is very nice in the picture :). The white Dream in the background is a nice grocery getter !

I wanted one of those so bad but they were hard to find. Yours is very clean i love it. I traded in my jetski for this one. (this looks almost identical to the one i had).

I think we have someone that's got bit by the motorcycle bug. :) Both bikes are sweet.
I thought the 82 GPZ 1100 was fast then i traded it in on a new 91 GSXR 750 and I got scared. Had that bike forever. A few months ago my friend tossed me his keys to his new Hyabusa. I got scared again. I think i'll stick to my lawnmower i have now.

what was the CBX anyway 1050cc? I remember when they were still for sale
at the Honda shop. Here's my favorite in 1982, my CX500 turbo when I was in collegehttp://images.ldsplanet.com/28/803/3905803/322115.jpg.
The Suzuki 1100 could out run it in a drag race but from 80 mph on good by
charlie! The turbo bike did great wheelies too.
Then in 1983 a v45 Magna, then a V65 Magna and in 1987 got a 1200 cc
Aspencade. Lost a couple of friends on bikes and figured that I was almost out of luck and sold it in 2000. Great bikes back then but nothing like those of today in top speed.
Spencer Lowe at Foxes has a 1982 Turbo 500 just like the one in the photo
with 600 original miles there at Foxes on the River. It sits next to his almost
new 1970 something 240Z with no miles on it!

I am jealous. That was my college bike. Same year and color. Can't believe I am still alive to talk about it. I used to wheelie it like a dirt bike, and boy did it came down hard. Sold it for $1,700 in 84 when I got married and moved to Havi. Here's my old machine
