Full review
I purchased my CBX750FE in 1995 and to date have had no problems with it. I note the other opinion on this page where someone complains about the engine breaking down due to low oil, well sorry my friend but if you are silly enough to run an engine with low oil that is your fault not the bikes. My own CBX is a UK model and performs v well for its age with good around town capabilties and good A road performance. The highest speed I have achieved on my CBX is 135 mph (on a private road officer). It produces power from tickover but only really pulls well from 6,000 rpm and then v well from 8,000 rpm with the rev limiter coming on at 10,500 rpm. The standard of finish is good to excellent and the styling attracts plenty of good comments. Overall I would rate it highly because of Hondas standards of finish being higher than anyone elses. I am now in the process of selling it however in order to finance improvments to my other bike a 1989 Yamaha FJ1200.
