1984 Honda CX650E review from Canada
"Amazingly surprising"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The second gear sometimes doesn't kick in very well, and sometimes it falls out of second gear to neutral.
The starter seems to have a hard time turning the engine over.
General comments?
This motorcycle surprised me to what point it had a lot of torque and acceleration.
Amazing sound when accelerating.
Top speed of 195 kmph.
1/4 mile in 13,6 seconds.
However, the rear tire could of been bigger.
