For Sale Honda CX500 built by CRT

[Kenny]

Attempting to move a few of my bikes on. First is this gorgeous CX500 with only 23,600 miles. Actually built by CRT on Isle of Wight. Note stainless spoked wheels on CX hubs. Runs perfect . No m.o.t. or tax required as registered historic ( actually has about a 8 month m.o.t. on her). I have changed oil/filter etc and put new YSS shocks on her. Last owner about 12 years from his private collection. Tosser price £3850 firm (Wirral)

That’s probably the first cx500 based special I really like!

NICE!

Thanks. has a lithium battery ( so bloody light ! )..I have fitted a charge lead ( green for lithium ) but the battery was still fully charged !! Ignore the Hagon shocks as these are from the last owner and are now new YSS shock. Just pics to show the workmanship that has gone into this bike.

I liked this CX that I saw at the Goodwood Breakfast Club a few Sundays ago. No plastic maggot!

What year is it registered as?

 

[Kenny]

March 1981 ( Historic on the V5c )

Can I take it the battery is now under the seat?
I know a lithium can be mounted in any direction, just wanted to see how it had been mounted on this lovely looking machine.
I’m very tempted by it, but am down in Surrey, so not able to pop round for a look at it.

 

[Kenny]

It is actually in a specially made box ( looks laser cut ) underneath the rear of the engine ( ringed in yellow with my artistic talent ). Also comes with a spare lower seat already painted up.

 

[Bubb]

That’s a very neat position for the battery…. Not exactly easy to access, but looks great imho

 

[Kenny]

Anyone? Can supply more photos ( great paint job ) for anyone interested.

Had a great run out on this earlier in the week...time to put her to bed for winter ( have other bikes ).

I love me a CX500 - really unfairly maligned bike...
Are the crankcases etc anodized or painted? Either way, they are spectacular...

Bike took many months to build by CRT and the firm painted the whole bike to a very high standard

Time for this little minx to go into hibernation ( filled with super unleaded and redex )

Last 90 mile bimble of the year, around the Cheshire lanes at the weekend. Ran superbly
