1982 Honda CX500 Turbo

History

The 1982 Honda CX500 Turbo revolutionised the world of sport touring bikes. This classic machine was built on it’s predecessor, the popular CX500 model, but was enhanced with cutting edge factory fit turbocharger. As a result, the turbocharger elevated the engine’s power output while also improving fuel efficiency with a larger tank. The bike was both fast and fuel efficient, making it a desirable option for riders looking for a powerhouse ride without compromising practicality and functionality.

In 1982 Cycle World magazine claims “Fast expensive motorcycles are normally called super bikes, but this Honda Turbo is very much different from all the other super bikes, it’s a super bike in party clothes”. 

Performance

When it comes to performance, the 1982 Honda stands in a league of its own. The heart of this machine is a liquid-cooled, 497cc V-twin engine, equipped with a turbocharger that takes the power output to new heights. With a staggering 82 horsepower and lightning-fast acceleration, the CX500 Turbo will leave you breathless as you unleash its full potential on the open road. Its turbocharged power delivery is smooth, and the rush of adrenaline it provides is truly addictive.

Features:

In a world where motorcycles were not commonly associated with terms like turbo and digital, the Honda was a trendsetter. Its features are not just checkboxes; they are stories of how the motorcycle industry was redefined.

One of the standout features of the Honda CX500 Turbo is its unique design, a transverse V-Twin turbocharged engine with its programmed fuel injection system, which was the first one ever in a production motorcycle. The bike boasts an advanced digital instrument cluster, providing riders with essential information at a glance.

This motorcycle had the new Pro-Link rear suspension and TRAC (Torque Reactive Anti-dive Control) on the front forks. Both very innovative, a major leap forward in suspension technology.
