In 1978 Honda decided to stun the motorcycle world by producing a 6 cylinder, 24 valve, 6 carburetor 1047cc Super Bike.  The first model to reach the United States was a 1979.  It was a bare motorcycle as were most at the time.  Although it had scintillating performance, easily the fastest production motorcycle available, it didn't sell well.  It returned as a 1980 model, slightly detuned but similar in appearance.  After another year of disappointing sales, it was completely revamped as a Sport Touring bike with a fairing and small saddle bags.  After two more years of non-sales, Honda discontinued the motorcycle.  Four years, four different models, and now there are no more.
Sound clip:  My thanks to Eric Schreiner and his pristine 1979 CBX!
