Only a handful of CX650Es made it to North America. If you had one, would you ride it like any other bike, or treat it like a museum piece?

A CX650E is a very rare Honda, and the restoration of this one was a challenge. Larry Cargill, the owner and restorer, is a perfectionist, but even so, the four years that it took for the boxes of parts to morph into a motorcycle was a bit long for even him. Difficulties in finding parts for this unusual bike slowed the process, as did restoration work for Larry’s customers, and — kittens. This bike — which has the highest serial number that Larry has been able to find — is now complete and running, despite all the hurdles, in large part through help and parts supplied by the large online CX community. You could say Larry got by with a little help from his friends.

Happy Father’s Day!
