Been thinking about adding another bike to my garage to sleep with my beloved Rocket. Yesterdays post of our old bikes got me all nostalgic and good times I had with my CBX when I was young and foolish (as opposed to now old and stupid) came flooding back. I had been looking for a frame off restoration of a 1978 CBX 1000 for a while and couldn't find one. In my search I fell in love with, and decided on buying a 2004 Honda Rune. Now after thinking about my old CBX I am not so sure.. Both Honda's, both big boy bikes, both accelerate like homesick angels, but they couldn't be more different.
The Rune is the only bike I've ever found that is as imposing as my Roadster. Both are beautiful in different ways. Both will be a pain in the ass to get parts for....The Rune in picture is a 2004 with 74 miles on it - yes , still new... But a CBX at full cry is like the gates of heaven have opened.
