1981 honda cx500 custom for saleI have a little soft spot for the Honda CX500. There used to be one that often parked across the street from our Toronto office, and its two twisted cylinder heads pointing up from below the fuel tank always caught my eye.The CX was the company's first ever V-Twin, but Honda couldn't just go for a conventional configuration, deciding instead to have the crankshaft run longitudinally, like a Moto Guzzi. As an added twist (literally), Honda rotated the cylinder heads by 22° to provide a bit extra room for a rider's knees. This made the CX500 much different from the bikes Honda was making at the time - or since.It's not surprising, then, that this nicely preserved 1981 CX500 Custom in Timmins, Ontario, caught my attention. Listed on CX500Forum.com for $1,500 Canadian (US$1,050), it's not priced too badly, especially with under 10,000 miles on the odometer.AdvertisementAdvertisementFrom the seller's description, it sounds fairly well kept, and for those who don't mind tinkering, there are some extra spare parts including an extra engine as well.AdvertisementAdvertisementCheck ListingBecome a Motorcycle.com insider.
