Why did Honda add 177cc to the CX 650E?
Honda, however, had obviously grown tired of producing derivative after derivative of the venerable vee and adding an extra 177cc must have seemed a good way of adding a bit of gloss to a machine that was beginning to look slightly lack-lustre if only due to the numbers on the British roads. Even in 496cc form, the CX was hardly an old slug.
Is there a cx650c version of the CX500?

What are the dimensions of a Honda CX 650E?
The CX just steadily piles on the power right into the 9,000rpm red line and requires little coaxing from the gearbox.

Where can I buy a Honda cx650c in Australia?
You can find CX650Cs for sale from time to time as imported bikes. There were two Honda motorcycle importers to Australia in ’83, each servicing different states (Bennett did NSW and QLD, MPE did VIC, TAS, SA and WA) – one brought in red and white bikes, the other black and white bikes.

What was the difference between the CX500 and CX650 Turbo?
The CX650 Turbo was an improvement on the CX500 turbo; changes were made to the compression ratio and boost pressure to make for a less abrupt transition to being on-boost.

What kind of bike was the cx650c in 1983?
