Honda CX500

[ALB80-850]

Anyone interested in a Honda CX500 project? I don?t have all the particulars. What I do know, it comes with an extra engine, clear title, I think it?s a 79. I can get the mileage and some pics if needed. It belongs to a friend of mine. Asking $300

As long as the stator is not cooked, they are pretty nice little scoots, I had one back in the late 90's. Rode the wheels off of it, love the shaft drive and liquid cooled motors, would sit and idle all day long and never overheat. The stator (inside the engine) design is one of Honda's worst of all times, when they go out, usually in the 20-30K mile range, you have to remove the engine to repair it! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are doing the stator then it's time for the triple bypass --

Stator - Water seal - cam chain -

Then these are ready to go a lot of miles --

The CX was a choice of the motorcycle couriers due to it's low cost of ownership and longevity --

I owned 3 of them over the years -- never had one fail me -- simple to maintain -

50ish hp I think but would do the ton easy - Screaming along at high RPMs...
