"sounds like an F1 car", yes that's what CBX's are famous for. However, if you're a connoisseur of engine sounds, what it really sounds like is an early 60's Ferrari V12 GTO. Look up Nick Mason (from Pink Floyd) and his famous 1964 Ferrari GTO for a cross reference.

Great job on the bike! It sounds so good with those six pipes too! When designing a bike like this you have so many options especially with custom gas tank styles. One thing I noticed is that you could also increase the gas tank capacity by extending it under the seat. From there, you might even add little custom side panels to hide that inner gas tank area. Later!
@mrweeby1961 3 ай бұрын
I've thought about doing some custom stuff to my 79 model but can't bring myself to hack up an original CBX. I especially like the suspension upgrades you did so it handles better and has wider tires, which it needs. Shaving off all that weight must really wake it up too. Mine is stock except for a DG 6 into 1 pipe. Nice build.

Great job on this custom and while I hate to see any stock CBX get cut up, I have to say that if I had my way, I'd have a clean stock 82 again - and one of these. Sounds great, worthy updates and sharp looking.

I often compare a CBX1000 exhaust note to a mid 60's Ferrari V12. Being a six it's one octave lower of course, but when the CBX engine gets to say 7000 rpm it's essentially the same as a Ferrari 250 GTO at 3,500 rpm and that's where the similarity in engine note becomes almost identical. My point being a mid 60's Ferrari 250 GTO is arguably the most glorious engine note of all time. Be sure look one up sometime on KZfaq to see what I mean. Who wouldn't want a motorbike that sounds like a Ferrari 250 GTO?
