CBX1000: I’ll never forget attending the lavish USA launch of this glamorous six in 1978 and listening to the Honda executives telling us how confident they were that Honda’s CBX1000 was going to do to the market in 1979 what the CB750 had done in 1969 – and everyone believed it. They even bragged about their huge new production line in Japan. Despite stunning looks and specification, sales were slower than hoped. Within no time, the model was upgraded to the Pro-link faired tourer which sold even less before Honda ended this layout.
