My new project CX500TC

for those of you that have M.B.S. (multiple bike syndrome) and have the "silver wing" models.
as our sponsors also have supplies for those bikes and they are popular with the "wing" crowd.

My new project CX500TC

#1

Post by NunzioGL »

Well I picked up this low mileage (10K) CX500TC from a very knowledgeable guy who heads up one of the CX Turbo forums.

Doesn't need much, just a good detailing and a few cosmetic fixes.

Hard to find.... you must be talking about the 650 turbos..... Do they exist for sale? or is that a fairy tale?

from what i have found 1000 entered the US, not sure about Canada, probably NONE haha

This page says less than 1200 importe4 to US & Canada
http://www.motorcycleclassics.com/class ... x650t.aspx
So if 1000 went to the States that would mean maybe 200 to Canada. Considering that Canada's population is about 10% of the US that would mean that we had twice as many per capita....

And we got the CX650E too.... :-D
