1982 Honda CX500TC TURBO

Well. you found it! My pride and joy. And if you are looking at this listing I can pretty much guarantee you already know alot about this motorcycle. Its super rare and hard to find. It has been in my possession since around August 2005. It appears by paperwork I have in the shop manual that I am the third owner and that it was originally purchased in CT. This bike is in original condition with a few exceptions. I replaced the front brake lines with Galfer SS lines just this past weekend. Along with the new lines I did a complete rebuild of the front calipers. polished caliper pistons. new piston seals and dust caps. new pads. master cylinder rebuild. and of course new fluid. Also shortly after I got it the paint on the exhaust was chipping off on the "TURBO" shields. I removed the paint with intentions of painting it back black and never got around to it. Besides that this bike is stock and unmolested. Adult active duty military owned. kept in a climate controlled garage and was the Queen of all the bikes. always covered up and sheltered from the elements. However. this bike is not perfect. It does have imperfections and most of them common to this model. A paint chip in the front fender. a scratch here and there. the crack in the right side fairing that is common due to the heat off the exhaust. a small crack in right front turn signal (cant see it unless your looking for it). Small imperfection in the windscreen. etc. Remember this bike is 32 years old!!! Also the bike was laid over in the garage by previous owner and probably contributed to the crack in the fairing. The left side battery compartment cover was cracked real bad when I bought her. I replaced it with an original equipment one soon after I bought it. There is a piece of gauge cluster foam gasket material that has slid down on the tachometer. It does not affect the function of the tach and I was going to replace but am scared to take it apart that far. I've tried to take pictures of all her imperfections and am representing the bike to the best of my ability. Thats the bad. now the good. Bike has a new battery. original owners manual. shop manual (which I used to rebuild brakes). and runs like a top! I just rode this bike this past weekend with my dad and it still makes me grin ear to ear when the boost kicks in and the turbo gauge ramps up to max psi! It is definitely like no other bike I have ever had and I hate to see her go and hope the next person will appreciate her and take care of her as well as I have. She is located in Telford TN. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping the bike.  Reason for selling. My wife and I are both Active Duty Navy and are getting stationed in Everett. WA. We are a victim of the housing market collapse here in Norfolk. VA and are pinching pennies to make ends meet. I am hoping to sell the bike for a reasonable price and have the money set aside to help cover the costs of selling our house. Closing costs are killing us.  So there it is. My pride and joy. Among all of the turbos I have seen it is the best condition one I have come across. (Besides the 0 Miles Turbo at Barber Museum thats nuts!!) If I were to rate it I would have to say she is an 8. 5-9 out of a ten. All pictures were taken on 12 October 2014. I also put 30 miles on her that same day.
