Dude, you are my hero! And I'm 62 years old! I'm on a '97 Black bird. My boss has got a CBX1000. Wow! So awesome.

Insane!!! Badass sound. Its now in my favorite bikes list.

@luizcarloscic It cost around $10,000 Australian plus the carby's which were $2500 i had to buy two set of four to get the six Hugh

Awesome engine you have built here, and the sound is awesome too! Great job!

Restoring my 1979 kz 1300 want change from shaft drive into chain drive. Bike been sitting in garage 38 years only has 2200 kilometers. Absolutely beautiful work! She pushing near 160 rwhp? I was close, now put turbo on her,lol.

Superb! Congratulations. Those Honda straight sixes sound awesome.

Wow.... I love the sound of the engine, Insane ... (btw the name of the song is "The Word (swordfish) - Dope Smugglaz"

Yes its now 1550 cc still breathing around streets of Bathurst where the Mt panorama race circuit is.

awesome video and killer bike we had a couple locals use them in hillclimbs with paddle tires and they sure through the dirt in the air . thanks for the vid .

wow. Some power from a CBX. Well done. Have a Zed13 myself... all the very best from Ireland

Superb! With a decent exhaust sysyem, no bike has ever sounded more awesome than the Honda six, IMHO.

I AM IN AWE. HATS OFF TO YOU

@fatpigbonzo , STANDARD CAPACITY ENGINE WITH TUNNED LENGTH 6 INTO 1 EXHAUST AND 34 MM MIKUNI FLAT SLIDE CARYS JETED AND SINCRINIZED, THE EXHAUST WHEN I FIRST PUT IT ON WAS NOT TUNNED AND IT KNOCKED HP OUT OF THE ENGINE WHEN THE EX WAS FIXED IT PICKED UP GOOD HP.IT WAS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN RIDDEN. THE CARBYS TOOK AWAY ALL THE STD CARBY PROBLEMS TO START WITH AND MADE IT BREATHE HEEPS BETTER ,SOME WOULD SAY THERE TO BIG BUT THEY RAN GREAT ON THE 1050 BUT RUN REAL WELL WITH THE 1425.HUGH

What a beautiful sound,..just screams speed.

Sounds like a mini supra, thats insane. one of my dream bikes for sure.

What a glorious sound.....

Next upgrade should be port and polish the in and ex,coil and cdi upgrade,camshaft upgrade and maybe bigger valve. Great vid

it sounds like 15000 rpm ! very nice .

Good job,love it !!!

a veritable symphony

Good job! Now too make it great film it in HD with the bike in action!!

homemade con rods..? wow!

Excellent job sounds great with higher rpm

Very very nice that's what you call get up and go

Hey WOW I love it - I absolutely love the silver Comstars! TOO COOL. But one suggestion - and not to kick the tires at all - just an idea to keep all of that power from that thing sticking to the road instead of going up in smoke: The front silver comstars aren't ALL 19" only - you could use an 18" front rim from CM400T with a 2.50" rim from say, GL1100 etc - or a rim from any rear wheel I suppose - and then furthermore the rear silver comstar rim could be welded up, Kosman style, to something on the order of 3.50" - 4.50" or thereabouts? I've just got rims this size for my CB900F, albeit wire spoke, and I haven't even stuck 'em on the bike yet it's ridiculous that I'm even typing right now - but yeah you can get into the 110/80 or 120/70 front & 160/60 rear tires - introductory widths for radial tires! There are a lot of fellas over in France who build rim sets like these for the RCB1000 replicas, they make rivets for rebuilding the rims, with the "HONDA" logo stamped into 'em and everything. So it needn't be some type of rinky-dink thing that you'd have to worry about. Of course, the Kosman wheel trick has been done for years now, I only suggest a rebuilt front wheel as a savings against doing BOTH rims via Kosman. But yeah - silver non-reverse Comstars are a MUST on any of these bikes, I dunno why people even bother spending on Astralites 'cause the COMSTARS were the better wheels in the first place. Well, maybe not FIRST - guess I'd have to look into Astralite history ha-ha. No really though - if you're concerned about the heavier hub in the Comstar, vs the Astralite having basically two identical light-weight hubs? Well then why not use two FRONT Comstar rims? With some type of bolt-on cush-drive in the vein of early Ducati disc-type Grimeca hubs? There are several different Ducati cush-drives that seem like they'd bolt to the Comstar with little or no modification, or perhaps a smaller Comstar cush or spoke-hub cush could be milled down to suit - complete with the carrier etc - this would save a butt-load of weight back there in the bike's butt end. And it could use the same five through-bolts as are normally holding the dual discs, just instead holding a disc and a cush element! It might not look so much like the stock Comstar hub I suppose, the blades would be different. But if you look at the early Honda factory type RCB rear hubs - or perhaps it's the later year RCB's I'm thinking of - they've got much smaller hubs that seem to be made from a simple cylindrical billet. And of course the forged blades of the wheel are shaped differently as well, with more open space in the center of each. All the same - there WERE basically stock Silver Comstars on RCB's with wider D.I.D. rims riveted to them, just as the later factory racer CB1100R endurance racers used a 3.5"x18" rear rim with a different rim than was riveted to the CBX750F, VF1000F etc Boomerang Comstars. It's just that the SILVER wheels were the progenitors of the whole breed and are hence immensely more cool..... ANYWAY - just a suggestion! I know a lot of 1979 CBX and DOHC-4 owners love their silver Comstars but kvetch about the 2.15" rim and so many folks go to the 17" rims and just destroy the whole look of the bike when there's a better way a "middle path" - albeit, not nearly as cheap as picking up any odd pair of discarded GSX-R or CBR rims! Possibly even more expensive than the wire-spoke stuff I'M into. One idea I'm really keen to get into - my CB900F is slowly transforming into an homage to the '65 CB450 Black Bomber, this is an off-shoot of the wire rims (being that everybody ELSE got around to doing it while I was struggling to pull it off due to finances, a fire that destroyed my bikes, etc etc - EXCUSES! Ten damn years I've been struggling to pull this off! ha-ha) ANYWAY - yeah I've snagged a CB1100R gas tank and am in the midst of polishing the sides for wing badges and rubber knee pads - NOW what I wanna do is fit up a GL1500 41mm TRAC fork, and turn the GL1500 or PC800 front wheel - into a wire-spoke faux-drum conversion much in the vein of what folks are doing with the CBX550F Comstar hub with the internal discs - the GL1500 would require entirely rebuilt shrouds, but they're purely decorative so it's a blank canvas with which to work. Whether to do 'em in alloy or to cast 'em in fiberglass or even plastic - it's all open. And yeah - 41mm TRAC fork WITH 296mm rotors AND a 20mm axle as stock! Seems like an ideal upgrade! Right now, I've got the CBX pro-link caliper hangers and vented 296mm rotors from a GL1100A Aspencade, with a non-TRAC 39mm fork, but I'm putting my spare 39mm CB900F fork onto my Ex-Daughter's "KZ440LOL" using the 39mm fork to accommodate the GT750J 4LS drum between it's stanchions. (And a Borrani 3.00x16" chopper rim wrapped around THAT, and a 110/80-16 Maxi-Scooter radial tire wrapped around IT. And that's just the front tip of the thing!) What I'm getting at, is the 39mm fork on the KZ is just gonna make the 39mm on my Honda look SKINNY on the bigger bike! I suppose they'll both have shrouds and boots - but I had bought the 39mm fork thinking I was still building a CB750K or CB750F, as I was shopping for a replacement for the burnt bike at the time. Now with the heavier more powerful Honda I figure IT deserves upgrades too, and in the same vein as before, sticking with Honda stuff that's close enough to pass for original. The GL1500 fork ain't exactly like the CB1100R fork, or even a VF1000F TRAC fork - but it's very similar I figure it should pass with flying colours. Gonna be a trick though, re-shrouding those 296mm rotors is about as daunting as milling down and lacing up the cast wheel "hub" in the first place! It's just that a CB450 Black Bomber homage - working title "Bol Bomber" - it DEMANDS something like a drum up front, only I know that a drum would be inadequate. Maybe a Kawasaki factory H1R 270mm 4LS drum might JUST cut it, but that would cost an arm and a leg. I think the 296mm dual-disc should be about equivalent to the 296mm dual disc CB1100R-style system I'm already working with. Won't be a down-grade at all - and IF it works it might just become the new standard for ALL of these "Hailwood Replica" style DOHC four and CBX builds out there. Any way you slice it - the GL1500 fork is an interesting option, whether for the adaptability to larger rotors and 20mm axle for modern wheels, or the fact it bolts up easily enough - it's neat. Only - I look at the top yoke and it's a bit FUGLY. Might be a good idea to make a billet yoke for it down the road, bevel route the edges and file it down to the shape of an older Ceriani yoke or some such. Then again, with the bar clamps filed off it might just look the part already. Under my bubble fairing it'll work either way - but what I'll wanna do once I've got that fork in place, is fit a CB450 style twin-needle oval clock, recessed into the headlight nacelle - maybe one of them CB92-CB72 type fly-screens with the alloy wedge clamps along the bottom? That'd be sweeeeeet..... There's a lot that hasn't yet been done with these bikes, I know there are a lot of established standards, and it seems even the Hailwood Replica CBX's are all the rage right now - but I haven't yet seen a CBX themed after the RCB 1000. Seen a couple or two done up after the CB1100R, though not with the factory colours. Tanks and seat, fairing - that's about it. Would be cool with the factory paint, gaudy and fugly as that red, white, blue & gold scheme might be. The RCB on the other hand, same colours while at the same time more of a classic '70s racer look, not too far off from a CR750 scheme really. Just a thought. Maybe an RCB themed CBX would just look like a Moto Martin CBX special but without the frame, as the dual headlight fairings seemed very similar. Maybe if my CB900F "Bol Bomber" comes off well, folks would even consider a CB72-CB77 themed CBX? The rear-sets and wire wheels at the very least - throw in some faux chrome on the tank and it's nearly there! Ah well - you've already done so much, I wouldn't suggest that you should think of your bike as un-finished. Though they never really are anyway....

Que bellesa japoneSA❤

sweet have a cb 900f 82 love it keep up the good work

Nice Job,greetings from Brazil!!!!!!!!

hahaha!!! crazy sound!! nice sound!! crazy power !! いい音だ・・・ ６気筒ならでは そしてパワーのある音だ！！ たまりません。

Outstanding!

Is there a fuel injection kit for a 1981 cbx 1000 that you know of? Thanks

Awesome

Cbx 1400!😊

better than modern bikes...

Bloody impressive

Fantastic work!

Magnificent!❤

NO BRASIL deveria ter mais oficinas assim

nice work dude..... NSw bloke too! loven the sound... Id love to cafe a CBX1000 after the sr500 atm.

WOW. Is that a widened rear rim? I love what you did with the swinger too. The whole package, without the cheap looking 17" rims and alloy fireblade swingers and USD front end that people usually RUIN these bikes with, I just love the whole package. I'm on the CB1100F.net forum, and I see a lot of "frankenbikes", and yours is definitely NOT one of those! Beautiful. I'm also curious about the rods, they're cut from billet? Are they reliable like that? I mean, this is such a dead reliable motor...

👌👌👌

1550cc?? Man just squeezing every extra centiliter. I wonder what numbers this beast would put down with a turbo...

Good job, sounds great!!

Excelente bravo pra quem sabe fazer.

very nice...perfekt Bike !!! Respekt !!!

great video

Awesome, just awesome bike!: )

five hundred is cheap to press out sleeves bore out barrel make new o/s sleeves press in deck top of barrel then bore and hone six cylinders I charge $1500 and thats good value for the amount of work.but if he is only borring for the 1150 wisco kit thats only a $300 job.

Those are some beefy rods

You know what I like to see Millard make a V12 out of that or actually anybody make a V12 out of that cbx that would be super bad to the bone

Who knows where this bike lives now? Does it still breathe fire? Has someone gone the extra mile and out a turbo on it

Monster

wow , nice

Great video! 165BHP.. Dear Got...

great sound and output power, is that still bike carburated?hehe, i bet it drinks quite much more, but what a joy:)

oops sorry i should have watched the whole vid before i said anything :d amazing skiils good job.

Nice work, I am a fan of the bike and yours just sounds ferocious. I think a turbo would ruin the NA fun that this bike has to offer, sadly my Nighthawk S won't keep up 👍

That's a lot of money and work for that many horses. Turbo would have given more for less. I miss my CBX badly.

Oh how amazing you increase 1/3 engine size and you receive the same percentage increase of horsepower huh

i totally agree

What did they charge u to bore out the engine?some nut here in Philly whants to charge me 5 hundred.bike sounds great keep up the good work.

Well, newer bikes have advanced electronics, higher compression ratio and injectors instead of carbs. Which easily explains an HP difference. And the cbr 1000 rr has 177 HP @ 12000 rpm vs this motorcycle which has 165 HP@ 10000 rpm. Rpm difference explains the HP difference. Just stating an amount of HP is useless without mentioning an rpm. Also measuring at the crank or the backwheel makes a big difference. Do a quick search on google and you will easily get more info.

sweet!

How did you get 123hp from a standard (105hp) engine ?

what was the torque number (i dont really understand your countrys measurments when it comes to that could you include before and after tourque?). it really loads the shocks on the throttle, NICE!! sounds wunderbar!

Not much left of that block after boring for the new sleeves.....lots of windows. Same problem exists SOHC CB750's. I had billet blocks made with extremely generous finning and no air passages between 1/2 and 3/4. No sleeves either...Nikasil. I have ported several CBX heads (my own included) and to be perfectly honest the design isn't very good at all. 1 & 6 ports should have a single valve as the most lateral port gets nothing. 2 & 5 aren't much better. Then the completely different port lengths. Guide boss cannot be reduced much as it gets thin under the spring seat. A pretty complex engine for sure. Most examples are owned by old men that enjoy bragging about how many NOS tanks, Sport Kits etc etc etc they have and are unwilling to part with. :) Looking at the OEM parts fiche brings nothing but "discontinued" except for nuts and bolts. My 1314cc FJ1200 has a bit over 160Hp and was much easier to build BUT a CBX is a CBX is a CBX. My advice is don't crash it!

Really nice video. Awesome engine!

nice

Awesome Man !!! My dream bike ... What is the song name you used in the video ?

So what is the limiting factor with this platform? The head holding it back?

Good job! 5*

My dream

damn boiiiii

最高!!

What was the song you had at the start sir?. Nevermind i knew it was Paul oakenfold

It was fast in the past big bore aspirated these days force induction supercharger is the way to go faster.

I'm CBX fan. How many (us dollars) for that total transformation? Great!

What is the top speed of cbx . It 300 or plus????

CBX standard is 105 b.h.p at the crank , so why was your motor reading that much at the wheel ? it should be a lot less at the wheel (standard) ??

Cool. Any thermic problems?

What is the song ? That cbx has some sick numbers now.

i wonder what type of exhaust that is??

I wouldn't do anything that ruin the F1 sound of this bad boy no extra horse no problem.

Song name please.

sounds like a TC

I doubt you can bore it out that much, but if it's true good job, what's the rwhp?

Nice build! but seems to much work for an extra 40-50HP. Time for a turbo??

wow sounds like my skyline lol you should try a turbo kit

1st of all, EPIC sound and 2nd plz tell me the name of the song playing at the start and at the middle of the vid.. plz :)

Two carbs, two pistons and two plugs test me,, but six?????

sounds like a skyline

Hey,not bad for a novice lol

que abisurdo

First corner you hit, you go straight on. I don't get it.

NOT SAFE.

All that for 35hp?Shit man strap a NOS bottle to it and get a whole lot more for a whole lot less.
