Five turbocharged, production motorcycles made by the big four of Japan; The Honda CX500 Turbo, Honda CX650 Turbo, Yamaha XJ650 Seca Turbo, Suzuki XN-85 Turbo, and the Kawasaki GPZ-750 Turbo, with an honorable mention of the Z1R-TC. I go through the relationship these bikes have with each other during a time where no-one really knew what was next in performance motorcycles. *CORRECTION. The GL1000 GoldWing was actually the first liquid cooled bike from Honda

Great video! I daily a CX500 turbo and it's definitely a hoot. I get looks wherever I ride and the boost is insane. You crawl up to 20mph, hit 5k rpm and then it teleports to 60mph. Fun, comfortable, "stylish", it often times feels like it's riding me than me it

Your breathless energetic narrative always carries us along. It was indeed an interesting time. I think Honda started badly by choosing the CX as its platform. A favourite bike of despatch riders, it was looked down upon by others. It wasn't until the Kawasaki hit the streets that you really saw turbo bikes regularly. The CB750FB was my weapon of choice. Piled high and sold cheap by the motorcycle supermarkets that grew up in the UK at that time. Get your breath back soon. I look forward to the next video.

There's a period article I read that basically said that Honda picked the CX500 turbo planning to keep turbocharging bikes. They picked a weird challenge with the CX500 thinking that if they could conquer a hard bike, they could expand it later. The CX500 turbo had 200 some patents on it... if only they continued- image a turbo VFR

I guess if Honda wanted a water-cooled bike to turbo then all they had to choose from was the CX or... the Goldwing. A stripped-down turbo Goldwing sounds like a great idea from a pure lols point of view but as a commercial product it wouldn't make much sense. Admittedly a turbo CX500 makes only marginally more sense but throwing a turbo onto an air-cooled bike rarely works well, as seen by the way the Yamaha and Suzuki turbo bikes didn't produce that much more power than the normally aspirated bikes they were based on

Back in the day I had a CX500A, so the CX650T was my dream bike. Oh, the after market shox on the Yam are Marzocchi Strada, which I also put on my red CX500. My mate had the Kwak 750T... he had replaced the cams twice within 10K miles (it did shift) and by then I had a FZ750- we didn't have a misspent youth, we had an awesome youth.

That was great! You really got the feel for how these bikes were seen when they came out - Honda threw a huge amount of tech at the CX and came out with something interesting but weird, Suzuki and Yamaha were very much the also-rans, but the Kawasaki was the absolute nuts. There were rumours at the time that part of the reason Kawasaki stopped producing it was that they didn't want to take sales and attention away from the GPZ900 but I'm not sure how valid that is

There’s a local guy selling a CX 500 turbo and if it wasn’t so much money I’d buy it _because_ of the dork factor!

I have ridden both the 500 & the 650. Accelerating out of a curve on the 500 is manageable, predictable, even. Do the same on the 650, and you could unexpectedly be on one wheel, before you even finish the curve, ask me how I know, lol! The turbo-lag on the 650 is less, but the punch is greater, as well, making it a bit more predictable, and a bit more exciting, if that's what your after.

My 1986 Suzuki Cavalcade has 112 hp and truly from a comfort and power standpoint destroyed the Goldwings but even if Suzuki made a better machine earned or not Honda had an image and marketing Suzuki never seemed to compete with Honda even if they made a better product. I own a 80s turbo Mustang and it's still on the road nearly 40 years later but I never rode any of the turbo bikes . I do find it funny that V4s are the latest and greatest engine configuration something Suzuki and Yamaha did in the 80s

I think the only one I actively dislike the look of is the yams.... but I can agree the XN is the best looking. I think it might come down to it looking less like an adventure bike with those big bars and plastics.
