A largely unrestored and very original low mileage CX500 in excellent running order. Originally registered and used in Germany up to November 2010, now registered in the UK with all German and UK registration documents present and correct. This is a unique example of how good the old “Maggot” was when new. A very rare (never available in the UK) very late C model with twin spark ignition and twin piston front brake calipers, this was the CX500 at it’s best before it became the 650 with it’s Eurostyling. German ownership has been very kind indeed to this machine, as evidenced by the stunning condition of chrome, painted and lacquered parts which just would not have survived 27k miles in this country. It even has the original Honda exhausts in excellent condition. Now converted to UK spec with replacement instruments and headlight, recently serviced and thoroughly checked in the workshop and presented in the excellent condition you see here. Very recent service work included the replacement of the generator (not an uncommon failure on this model) at which time the engine cases were painted a metalic grey over the original silver paint. We know that the condition of the original silver finish was good and it looks like the grey paint is removing itself quite nicely so with a bit of detailing it would be back to standard. This bike rides exactly like a good CX500 always did; puts a smile on your face and won’t let you down. A classic you can ride and ride. Comes with all the books and keys.
