Wow, I thought I was going to see an ad from someone asking $6000 for a CX.
Do some of you guys really think a '79 CBX is worth $600.00?

If I were in the market for a mint low mileage '79 CBX, my budget would be about $9K.

Yes, it needs a head gasket and carb work but if the bike has low miles, really is original and looks as nice as it does in the pictures, $6K isn't exactly a crazy asking price.

George,

NO, not at all...I know it's worth more than $600....but $6000 ? Maybe along the lines of $3000-$4000.

But hey it's all in the eyes of the purchaser I guess !!
