Honda CBX 6 Cylinder Superbike - The Last 70's Bike

To me, this is the last and ultimate 1970's bike,  looking for all the world like a 1970 CB750 on
the juice, with more chrome than a 1950's Buick, the CBX marked the end of an era. The 
game changing Kawasaki GPZ Ninja's essentially put the nail in the CBX's coffin and it faded
away quietly in 1982, largely un-noticed.
