The Honda CBX 1047cc with its 6 transverse mounted cylinders, 6 carburettors, air cooling, 24 valves and double overhead camshafts, was in its day the most powerful street legal motorcycle in production. It weighed in at 572lbs (wet) and had a top speed of around 140mph and 105bhp at 9,000 rpm for the early 1000Z model. Later models had a top speed of around 135mph.

The first 1000Z model was produced in 1978 with twin shock absorbers and twin front disc. The revamped model of 1981 had a full fairing with panniers, a mono shock and twin ventilated discs, making it an ideal touring motorcycle. The early model available in the UK was the 1000Z and the later pro-link models the 'B' and later the 'C'. The club also has a number of members with the U.S.A. spec A model which has air forks and needle roller swinging arm bushes. Several members have Moto-Martin and other non standard CBX'S. Z frame numbers commence CB1 & A,B&C SCO.
