Congratulations to Rick Haas of Lake Forest for winning Bike of the Month with his 1980 Honda CBX.
Rick won a plaque provided by Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys.
Rick is the original owner of this 23,776 mile CBX. It's nearly 100% original except for the Jardine exhaust system.
Rick still owns the OEM pipes, but they are "just too quiet" for him.
His brother worked for American Honda and Rick managed to get the bike through the employee purchase program.
I always thought that the X stood for TEN, but according to Rick, the X stands for Experimental.
Thank you Rick for bringing your Honda out for all of us to see. See all the photos in our June Gallery.
We've had two other CBX's win Bike of the Month:
Bike of the Month September 2012
Garry Lieser and his 1979 custom Honda CBX
Bike of the Month February 2012
Phil Tabor with his 1980 Moto Martin CBX
