Arguably the best sounding bike engine ever made.

The beauty of mechanics... without plastic and sensors, electronics... the most beautiful sound of a 6-cylinder engine

That CBX 1000 sounds absolutely awesome when it "hits the pipe!"

There's a museum above the dealership in my town. Every time I go in there with friends I tell them this is the bike I would take if I could have anyone in the building. They always look at me like I'm nuts but if you know you know

Justin has amazing taste in bikes, especially, in his bike builds and restorations. That is one freaking gorgeous bike, fast as all hell, and the exhaust note is orgasmic. One truly badass and beautiful mofo!

This is the ultimate bike. Red '79-'80 twin shock Honda CBX, w/ the 6-into-1 DG header/exhaust. It doesn't get any better. Looks awesome, sounds triumphant, pulls hard. Thank you Kaplan for making it sing! Bravo!

at 18 yrs old this was the first street bike i ever rode. wheelied the thing for 200yrs doin atleast 80mph goin up a long uphill climb. Such an awesome bike

I had a red CBX here in UK from 2000 - 2003. It was excellent; but yours is a sight & sound to behold. Well done! Honda CBX is probably STILL the best looking design of motorcycle in the world. Regards, Hector, Scotland, UK.

My '79 was silver, same pipe, and I also put an ATK fork brace, Tracy color matched sport fairing, and S&W Street Strokers rear shocks. Gawd, I miss that thing. 😥

That bike is wild!. Such a wicked sound one of the best sounding bikes I've heard.

That bike was always famous for it's sound. I wonder how many were sold during it's run.

Always loved the look and sound of these machines 👌

Greatest motorcycle ever made by man.

An absolutely beautiful machine. Thank you. I like that it is mostly original. It must have been nearly impossible to obtain OEM side covers and turn signals. I bought a new silver 79 CBX back in the day. I was able to adjust my valves without tilting the engine down. I still have the special tool used to depress the valve shim bucket to allow for swapping shims.

Checks all the boxes, you have the best job EVER!!!!

When it's on the pipe it sounds insane.

what a fine sounding machine!!!! amazing!

Stunning CBX, mine he's exactly like this one in color minus the 6 into 1 exhaust. Absolutely love it.

Probably my most favorite bike . Hooker header was the pipe for that bike , 6 cyl. wheelie machine . Getting rare . Nice bike . F 1 sound was intoxicating .

Bonita bonita bonita, una clásica de la de seis cilindros muy bonita y espectacular SONIDO 👏🏻 sonido 6 en uno

That thing is SWEET and sounds killer!!

I've owned three of 'em. I remember when I was a kid, though, and this older young guy up the highway had one. We could hear him coming down the hill to our river valley in the summertime with our doors open. I'd run out on the deck to hear him and (hopefully) catch a glimpse of him. I knew he was going over 100mph when he came down the hill. Then he'd hit the bridge and start the small climb up the other side. He still had THREE GEARS to go! And he hit every one of 'em. They say these sound like Ferraris but if Ferraris sounded like this I'd own three of them! NOTHING like the CBX 1047. Thanks, Mr. Honda (and Steve Be****) for inspiring my love of that CBX!

Yeah, it's pretty easy to say that this is the baddest, sweetest, bike that I've seen on the channel. Wow! Eric in NC

Woooow...that reminds me of my first street bike GS 1000 punched out with the Kerker with the baffle out screaming and ripping. The good ole days.....

Тоже очень красивый мотоцикл всех благ

If paradise had a sound,that would be it,just a magnificent engine!! The V6 honda is the sound of the waves on paradise beach.......

A bike dreams are made of…👍

I love the sound cbx1000 Jonathan's bike is absolutely insanity. Second gear 92 mph that thing is nuts. What a rocket ship. What a machine the man that owned it before. Holy hell one of the sickest bikes I think I've ever seen. Thank you guys so much for this video. Good one! Great video Ronnie! Love this bike!

One of the prettiest best sounding street bikes you've had on here...that's saying a mouth full too. I didn't think wed get Ken off it.

Music to my ears!

No other widely available bike sounds this good! My buddy had one, wish he'd never sold it!

Had me dying when he made you think he was getting off and then went by like four more times 😂.

That's super clean

Holyyyyy mackerel!!! That sound........absolutely incredible!! Would be addictive af riding that beauty. Had a toy one of these as a kid.......would love a rip on a real one!! Thanks for showing us these amazing bikes. God bless all the way from Australia!!

This was my dream bike back in 79, I used to drool over the one in my local bike shop. Unfortunately I could never afford it so I had to settle for its little brother a 550 FourK3.

I have the 1980 CBX , black in color , beautiful bikes .

Buenas noches ,KAPPLAN AMERICA, INSUPERABLE...Saludos,gracias.

Nací en el 79 , desde que tenía 5 años soñaba y fantaseaba con esa moto , vivía sobre la ruta y todas las noches se armaban picadas entre 3 motos honda ; una gris , otra roja y otra azul .........

Man that sounds good

Lawed"How"Da"Mercy"Sakes"Alive 1 Bad"Ass Bike & Great Sound & Ken Turned It Up 4"Us In The Back Hell Yeah 💪🏻💪🏻💚🤟🏻🤟🏻🇺🇲✌🏼

Beautiful!!

The Toecutter from Mad Max would be proud of that one🤘😎🤘

Awesome i've watched it more then once incredible acceleration like you said sounds like heaven.

The GOAT sounding bike. With that gold chain MR T should buy this bike.

When I Took my 79 Honda CBX For A Test Ride & That F 1 Sound Sucked Me in For 13 years of Oweing This Motorcycle & I Took Her Everywhere & Loved Her Soo Much & in 2010 A Jurk Jurk me on my CBX & That's The Last Time I Will Ever Own A Street Bike , I will only Own Enduros So I can jump a Curb & get the hell away from people Who Can't drive a Car 🤜🏼🤯🤛🏼 I Rebuilt my Motor Omost $5,000 To Restore Motor & I Miss Her But My Back Can't Handle her Anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I Will Always Love My 79 CBX 😍

Beautiful motorcycle

Ooohhhh that noise!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!! Amazing bike!!! Incredible sound!!! Wow!!! What a bike!!!

That is a soul stirring sound!!!!!!

Candy Glory Red. The original paint was 11 coats of lacquer, staring with a silver base coat. Middle was an orange metallic color, final coats more darker candy red, last color coat was a candy red tinted clear. Final coat was a clear. I have a full set of NOS red lacquer bodywork and seat saved for my early 79 CBX.

I can't stop watching this video! That bike runs like a pissed off striped ass ape! Justin and Y'all hit it out of the park with this bike! Just fucking phenominal! The Epitome of a badass vintage musclebike, which I'm quite sure can give many bikes, these days, a run for their money. That is "The Exhaust Note" that so many people like, and strive to have! ❤❤❤

That sound! Just lovely!

There's not many engines that sound that good whether V-8, V-10, V-16! That REALLY sounds good!

Witam wszystkich serdecznie życzę miłego dnia Tobie oraz wszystkim którzy kochają motocykle Dzięki za to że Jesteście na kanale życzę powodzenia w dalszym działaniu Stary Baca który szanuje to co robicie ❤❤❤

There’s one of my bucket list bikes, damn I love the CBX. My buddy had an 82’ white w blue trim, hard bags and all, I wish I’d have bought that bike when I could. $3500 was big money in 84’ 😆

Beautiful bike ....nothing like a Honda 👍

That engine bulging out on both sides looks bad ass!

That thing sounds so good

Sounds good, those 6 cylinder bikes all sound amazing, i dont think they made them for very many years

Incredible! love it

I so wanted one when they came out, she got some balls!!!

My father has owned one for years he had a bad accident in the 90s and it has been sitting ever since.

Beautiful machine 😊 my old man owned almost every bike known to man in the 70's and he swore by his Hondas 👍

Maaaaannn what a badass bike! And that sound!

Justin Is A Super Freak That Brother Brings A'Lot To The Table Wat A Great Guy ML&R 💪🏻💪🏻💚🤟🏻🤟🏻🇺🇲✌🏼

RRRRRRRRRIP THE HOUSE OFF THE FOUNDATIONS 💪💯 New England motorcycle museum number 1

That is the definition of badass Ken!!🇺🇸⭐️

My favorite machine from HONDA outstanding .

What a sound,music to my ears.

Nice, tail running light is out, break light is good. Dad has his still from 1979, motor punch out to 1149cc. Wicked sounding for sure.

I want one now

Looks and sounds AWESOME.

That bike sounds amazing!!!

Wow did that cbx sound great very surprised that this bike didn't sell better back in 79 but it is a beautiful masterpiece of Honda history

Fantastic bike, sounds are incredible

Amazing motorcycle!!! Thanks for sharing this!!

You can't replicate that sound to this day that's why it's so precious

1:05 The sound of josh ruttenberg's cbx in Otterburn Park throughout the 80s. It had a hand-built "frankenheader" 6 in 1 with a Wolf baffle.

It makes a nice noise, the original exhausts are clean!

Even in 2023 it gives you goose pimples !!! Yeah!!!!

I’ve watched many of your videos maybe all of your videos but I think you enjoyed the CBX more then every bike even more than your beloved XLCR , great video 👍🏼.

You never tire of a bike sounding like that.

I'm pretty much a Harley guy, but I could live with that bad boy 😃🤙 I have such fond memories of the CB750 I once owned 😎👍

Wooooowww....That F1 sound makes my hackles in my neck tingle! Ultimate 70's powerhouse!

You need one those safety nets like the have aircraft carriers, I thought you might have run out room once or twice. 😄😄😄 While it sounds great I'm partial to the six into six more for styling the sound.

Yehah,your neighbours must love you.Cant beat that sound of a six into one pipe,my mate had a z1300 with the same set up,and he rode like you in Wellington New Zealand.

Damm, kenny sr need hire that guy, what a sales guy 😂

Legendary motorbike, would love to have one.

I remember the year and the guys in the neighborhood making that sound for blocks and blocks at a time coming and going i was ten or eleven yrs old. "Lightning Throat"..❤oh wow i just noticed the throttle lock/cruise control. We were diffrent then. My mother bought the new el camino super sport that year in black and maroon from jack wall Chevrolet. $8,000 sticker price My friend's and i rode in the back all the time with the dirt bikes and gear.

Good morning Great video Keep up the great work ur doing Love all the lowriders The thing that stands out about the lowriders that I love is the colors that they use it's just amazing on so many levels God bless all of the owners and the builders and the people involved in making these things so super nice.. I will have one for my self 😎

Fuckyeah!!Exactly!! The first Street bike I bought amazing scoot. Love it F.N love it!!!

Chur to the BIG DOG ..yeah BOI ..

Just a note, the buyer financed the CBX and paid a hefty premium for that. The OTR price was around $3299 new in 79. They are worth big buck for a mint stock original example. Goodluck with the sale, p.s, drop the idle speed 1100 rpm is tops.

Absolutely awesome bike. 40,000 units were made according to Honda. Makes you wonder how many are abandoned somewhere.

My blood is boiling alright! One time I spent an entire Sunday afternoon watching KZfaqs of the CBX, KZ and Sei. Can't go wrong with either of them but my favorite is the CBX by a microscopic hair over the Sei.

I really want to visit Kaplan America. I just got my Aussie pass port. Here's hoping 🤞

Not many bikes that make the hairs on my neck stand up.. but this is one just divine can't beat that inline six howl!!!

I absolutely love motorcycles from the 70s and 80s my last bike was a Kawasaki 750 Zephyr..my biking days are over as i now have Parkinson's..love your videos Ken

"What a fuckin rocket ship holy shit" best quote I've ever listened to. Love the second amendment sporting badass Ken

I need one

Pot holes filled 👍 Beautiful motorcycle sounds wicked 🎶🎵🔥🤘
