Ever
hear of the bike that was "All Engine"?.
This is the first year Honda CBX 6 Cylinder. This is
the Honda CBX 1050cc 103 hp rocket ship. Hondas'
marketing literature touted it in a couple of notable
ways.
First...The
engine is a stressed member of the frame. There is no
cradle underneath which exposes the full size of the
engine. The engine is tilted forward 30 degrees for
more leg room.
Secondly,
Honda claimed that by moving the alternator back behind the
cylinders, that the engine is almost the same width as their
CB750 engine. Anyway
you look at it, the engine is the most prominent part of
this bike and is very intimidating looking.
