Oh look, boring factory turboed Honda inside.

Oh the silly era that was the 80s.

I think Honda was on an acid trip for about 5 years in the late 70’s/early 80’s. They built a few motorcycles with automatic transmissions too.

i think it’s pretty rad…never heard of a factory boosted bike before…

Honda made:

Auto bikes
10 speed bikes (dual 5 speeds)
Turbo bikes
straight 6 bikes
Pure awesomeness

They must have let Kawasaki have a hit. They made an I6 too, right around the same time.

11 second 1/4 on that thing must have took some bravery.

There are a few other Turbo bikes as well from the era, whole lot of crazy Japanese insanity from that era.

That CBX is bad as hell. 7 feet long and five feet wide :lol:

Dear god are those bike HIDDEOUS

You have no taste. :stuck_out_tongue:

interesting… i never knew bikes can be boosted…

I met a guy who had a Suzuki 500 turbo in Rochester. He chased me down one day in the FD. Apparently most manufacturers experimented with a 500 turbo at one point…he brought his over from Germany.

Love the rims on that turbo.

hit up streetfire or youtube for boosted busa’s, or, any liter bike really.
