Between my good friend who was a motorcycle mechanic, we had the standard CX500,the custom CX500C, the GL650 and the CX500T, a Turbo, wrapped with Honda 1st attempt at a full sports styled covering. Slightly rare, that bike would ride normal full throttle until about 35-40 mph and then whoom! when the turbo kicked in.

Just so you know, those transverse V Twins were just about bullet proof, they were that reliable. That shaft drive was smooth but did take some power away from the engine. Great Bike to ride!!! Congrats on the purchase!!

Yep, and if I remember correctly, the 1st things the Japanese made were scooters. All history seems to be is just a cycle.  |

But a little speed is good, LOL...

Trikes are an inherently unstable design. Expect squirrelly handling I have never ridden one that wasn't a little scary. Wuss Hahahaha!! |
