Anyody like these? Kind of old but they sound like a nice little go getter! Saw one for sale by Big Sandy and I really liked it! Any input on these bikes?

I've been looking off and on for one of those for several years. I missed one a couple years ago right before I graduated from college...it had low mileage, original owner, stored since the late 80's...probably needed some work but it was in good shape.

If I remember correctly they had about 85 hp (though I believe there was a CX7xx that might have had the 85 hp) thus being one of the most powerful bikes of the time.

Turbo bikes were a trend in the early 80's with most of the Japanese makers producing one for a couple years. The trend didn't make the trip obviously.

Well if you want one the one I saw has been for sale for a couple days. Down at Big Sandy during the day. Looked to be in really good shape.
