I know it's sad, but I always liked the CX's.  :-\
Never even ridden one but I tend to be attracted to 'Ugly Ducklings'.

Yours looks pretty neat Jack. Where are you located?

I must say, I thought the price was pretty good.
Well done on the quick sale. I'm sure the new owner will enjoy it.  ;D

Yep my last road registered bike was an 84 CX650  ( OK I had it out to 780cc and other  things  8) ....) Not as pig ugly as the early 500s and it sounded superb on over run with the exhaust mods done!!***** As many pushrod yes Pushrod engines do*****
