Question:
None of these is a classic; deined this question smacks of trollery, but I'll play along. Of the three, the CX500 is by far the best. My favorites are the early ones with the humpback tank, and some of the Silver Wings, which can be set up as a pretty decent sport tourer if you leave off the fairing and luggage.The CB360 is a horrible lump, built down to a price and technically inferior to the CB/CL350 that preceded it. The CM400 is competent but totally bland, a testament to the proposition that, the more times you pass the same bike on the road, the more likely that he will get there first. The classic Hondas include the CB400F, a tasty little factory cafe racer, fast and smooth. I also like the CB/CL/CA72/77 series, 250 and 305 cc roadster/scrambler/tourers. The appearance of the twin was copied by Laverda for its 750cc SF twins. The most desirable Honda of all is the CB92 Benly Super Sport, a sporting 125 that came with a roadrace-styled tank, humpback racing seat, a plexi flyscreen above the headlight and optional factory megaphones.

Question:
Did you enjoy when u started your career on a 125cc engine? I'm sure it must feel strange today being on a big superbike racing circuits like Portimao and before you raced in places like Bishopscourt?
Jonathan Rea's answer:
I love riding Superbike the most but when I started in 125cc I enjoyed that a lot, especially the technical aspect where we would design gearboxes for different parts of the circuit. My career moved fast but I have enjoyed riding at all the circuits...Read more>>
