1979 Honda CX500, A Honda Never Grows Old - The Honda CX series motorcycles were developed and released by Honda in the late 1970s. The design included innovative features and technologies that were uncommon or unused at the time such as liquid cooling, electric-only starting, low-maintenance shaft drive, modular wheels, and dual CV-type carburetors that were tuned for reduced emissions. The electronic ignition system was separate from the rest of the electrical system, enabling the motorcycle to be push-started and ridden in case of a total electrical system failure. This CX500 came in on a recent trade and only has 7300 original miles on it. A great runabout for those looking to roll past the gas pumps.
