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. ---

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

> **[Honda CBX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CBX_1000)** > > The Honda CBX was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1978 to 1982. With a 1047cc inline six-cylinder engine producing 105 bhp (78 kW), it was the flagship of the Honda range. The CBX was well received by the press, but was outsold by its sibling, the Honda CB900F. As a promotional exercise, CBX bikes were ridden by travelling marshals at the 1979 & 1980 Isle of Man TT. 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. ---

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. ---
