Some styling elements there I'm not hot on - I'd change if it were my own bike, but for the most part, it's awesome. The stock CB-X's handle like there's a hinge in the middle, so I swapped in a Marzocchi upside down fork, a giant Cal-Fab swing arm and a steering damper. Once I got the chassis sorted, I'm not sure I've ridden anything yet that was more fun in high speed sweepers. Sure, a 'Busa is way faster and more capable, but a sorted CB-X in a 180km/h highway sweeper was a thing of joy. And realistically, the CB-X did run mid 11s, which isn't too bad even today. It was unreal in the late 70s. There were other bikes that were faster around a road course, but for a while, the CB-X ruled the acceleration contests, hands down. Despite being so powerful, it was also one of the most difficult bikes to wheelie I've ever ridden too. The front end was anything but "light" and the gearing would shred the 70s technology skinny rear tire to bits before really getting a goof loft going. It's funny how tall the gearing is on modern bike bore bikes compared to the bikes from the CB-X era.
