I used to tow my speedboat with my girlfriend's Dad's Volvo. Worked great until the Volvo blew up!

The Honda CBX1000 was introduced in 1978 as the first production motorcycle Honda had produced with an inline six-cylinder engine (earlier they produced a six-cylinder race bike). The twin-cam 24-valve engine produced 105 bhp (78 kW). The model was produced from 1978 to 1982.
