My new project CX500TC
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.

Re: My new project CX500TC
Yes Very Nice condition! A great find
The one i just found is not so pretty, mechanically perfectly good, fairing not so good... But i think i will go naked
I thought $750 US for it was a good deal?

Re: My new project CX500TC
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 & Canadamhynze wrote:Hard to find.... you must be talking about the 650 turbos..... Do they exist for sale? or is that a fairy tale?

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....
