I had a CX650 Turbo for 2 months. It was a SCREAMER. About 100 HP. Looked just like this one below. I was getting reassigned for my 3rd tour in Germany and it was take a bike or a car for 4 years.

The GL500, CX500, Cx650 were well ahead of their times. VERY smooth and a bit more torque than the run of the mill 500cc bikes of that time.

The 1983 CX650 Turbo I had would win more stop light races with 750cc bikes, even some Liter bikes.

It would pull almost 140 MPH and 115 all day even in 100+ degree days. I rode it from Seattle area to Laramie WY and the day temps were 104+, I maintained 110 to 120 MPH most of this trip. Son was at WyoTech and I brought him a 300 pound tool set strapped on back.

If I wanted a SHIFTER bike and found a CX650 Turbo, it would be in my garage.

I'm in LUST!

I'm betting it turns $12,000 plus fees. With 4.7 miles.

I think I bought mine 3 years old but "new old stock" for $3200 with 15 miles on it. Too many bikes, too many memories lost.

EDITED
I just went back and looked at my last deployment to Germany, it was 1997. So the CX650T was 4 model years old when I bought it.

And Wife said I had it 6 months. I sold it for $3000 so 6 months riding for $200.
