Honda Cx500 Turbo
The Honda Cx500 Turbo has a top speed of 195 km/h, produces 82 hp and weighs 232 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.
Honda CX500 Turbo diperkenalkan pada tahun 1982 sebagai salah satu sepeda motor turbocharged produksi pertama di dunia, mewakili momen penting dalam rekayasa sepeda motor. Ini menampilkan sistem injeksi bahan bakar elektronik canggih Honda (salah satu yang paling awal pada sepeda produksi) dipasangkan dengan turbocharger IHI yang dibaut ke mesin CX500 V-twin yang ada. Meskipun hanya diproduksi selama dua tahun (1982-1983) sebelum digantikan oleh CX650 Turbo, ia dirayakan sebagai pencapaian teknologi perintis dan ikon kolektor.

Apa yang Harus Diketahui Pembeli
Complex Turbo System
The CX500 Turbo uses a small IHI turbocharger with a sophisticated fuel injection system — one of the first production motorcycles to do so. This complexity means aging sensors, injectors, and boost hoses are common failure points that can be expensive to source and repair.
Rising Collector Value
As a rare, pioneering piece of motorcycle history (only ~13,000 units built worldwide from 1981–1982), clean examples have steadily climbed in value. Well-maintained bikes in good condition regularly fetch $5,000–$9,000+, making condition and originality critical for buyers.
Watch the Cam Chain
The underlying CX500 V-twin engine is known to develop cam chain tensioner wear over time, which can lead to noisy, rattling engines if neglected. Always listen for a ticking or slapping noise on startup before buying.
Generasi & Spesifikasi berdasarkan Tahun
Sepeda motor produksi turbocharged perdana dengan V-twin 500cc, boost 22 PSI, injeksi bahan bakar digital, 82 HP.
"Kegilaan brilian yang Honda tidak pernah selesai."
Di bawah 3.500 rpm, benda ini adalah siput — Anda mengangkut 232 kilogram teknologi masa depan yang terasa seperti komuter yang lelah, lalu turbo berputar dan tiba-tiba Anda bertahan sementara tahun 1982 kabur lewat dengan kecepatan yang masih mempermalukan kelas menengah modern. Injeksi bahan bakar digital benar-benar revolusioner, tetapi itu juga berarti bahwa ketika terjadi kesalahan - dan unit awal mengembangkan dorongan solenoid gremlin - Anda berada di bawah kekuasaan dealer di era ketika tidak ada yang memahami sistem. Saya mengendarai milikku dengan keras selama dua musim dan kemudi torsi di bawah dorongan penuh membuat setiap tikungan menarik dengan cara yang tidak selalu saya pilih. Ini adalah sepotong sejarah teknik yang patut dihormati, bukan perjalanan sehari-hari.
Kelebihan
Kekurangan
Bodi yang direvisi, suspensi yang diperbarui, pemetaan injeksi bahan bakar yang ditingkatkan, pengiriman dorongan yang disempurnakan, pembaruan kosmetik kecil.
"Sebuah keajaiban teknik asli yang dibuat usang oleh waktu."
Pemetaan injeksi bahan bakar yang direvisi pada pembaruan '83 ini membuat perbedaan nyata - dorongan datang lebih lancar daripada perasaan sakelar on-off CX500T asli, meskipun Anda masih perlu menghormati lonjakan kelas menengah atau roda depan mendapat ide. Dengan berat 232 kg, ini adalah perahu dalam lalu lintas kota, dan penggerak poros menambah kekacauan yang nyata di bawah transisi throttle keras yang tidak pernah sepenuhnya menghilang. Tapi bukalah di A-road terbuka dan ada nilai kejutan asli tahun 1983 di sini — 100 tenaga kuda dari V-twin 500cc masih merupakan trik pesta yang patut dipamerkan. Pembaruan bodi memberikan tampilan yang sedikit lebih terintegrasi, meskipun fairing masih menangkap angin seberang seperti pintu gudang di atas 140 km/jam.

Ulasan Pembeli Bekas
"Fascinating collectible that demands patience, money, and mechanical respect."
$4,500-$9,000 usedLet's be straight — you're not buying a CX500 Turbo for performance. Honda's pioneering 1982-83 turbocharged experiment produces 82hp, which was genuinely impressive then but feels modest now. What you're really buying is history. This was the world's first production turbocharged motorcycle, and Honda engineered it with typical obsessive attention, complete with custom fuel injection, intercooling, and a beautifully integrated fairing. It's genuinely exotic hardware dressed in sensible clothes. The problems are real though. Turbo lag is significant — there's a noticeable pause before boost hits, which feels unsettling in corners. Parts availability ranges from difficult to eye-wateringly expensive. Specialist knowledge matters here; a backstreet mechanic touching the fuel injection system is a recipe for disaster. Find one with documented service history and verify the turbo seals aren't weeping oil. These have appreciated sharply as collector pieces. You'll pay collector prices but live with 1980s reliability. Expect to spend as much maintaining it as you did buying it, and keep mileage modest. Ride it occasionally, show it often.
