1982 Honda CX500TC Turbo. for 500 bucks.

Wow.... i heard about this bike, but i never figured i would actually see one still intact. First turbo production bike. It looks like crap, everything did in the early 80's but it has a turbo. Maybe remove all the fairings and primer it black.

Might be a bad battery or the stator needs to be replaced. Wish i had a garage to work on it. and its right in my old neighborhood too.

If i hadnt already gotten a cbr, i would have jumped on this.

I own the cx500 non turbo. even for just a 500 its got a pretty peppy motor. And the turbo on that thing is the size of a bic lighter. But still awesome. And cheap too. i would be all over it.
