It's not a CBX but what if?!!!!

Post by cbxmel »

Hi guys,

Just in case of interest I thought you might like to know that you can now buy a one quarter scale model of the CB750 or the 1300 Hayabusa. i have contacted the manufacturer to see if they will also do a 79 CBX and it is under consideration. Just think of it with one of these in your lounge to impress your friends! Much cheaper than a full size one and takes up less room. Will let you know when they get back to me. You can either buy monthly or if your in a hurry they will sell you everything in one go. Expensive but nice! Go to http://www.model-space.com/gb/build-the ... cb750.html

all the best Mel 1876

For 768 Pounds ($1249 U.S.), I'd expect to be able to ride it! :-)

Autoart has a few models in a 1:6 scale. The Honda CB750 and the CB1100R are among them (I have one of each)
These are quite large and can still be displayed without requiring a room for themselves. Best of all, they are "affordable" with a price of around U.S. $250.-
I would think that both size and price of a 1:4 will be the reason not many buyers may be found.

Recent conversation with my ever-loving wife, as we settle into our new home.

"So, I had a thought about what to do with the 400F"

"Hmmm?"

"I was thinking we could put it right there, where the bench is."

"No #^%!ing way! We are NOT putting a motorcycle in the living room"

And THAT, my friends, is how I know that a few of you lot are bachelors :-)

Hi again guys,

Reminds me of when I went to buy some CBX spares off a guy in Banbury . He ushered me into his lounge for a cup of coffee and I was confronted by a long coffee table with a very nice Norton Commando in glorious black & gold with peashooter mufflers on top.
'What does your wife think about it?' I asked. 'Oh,I am divorced' My other halfs sentiments completely! You can't win em all.
Your a brave man Steve.

all the best Mel 1876
