1981 Honda CBX SC06 – Custom Build by Adam Nestor, Award-Winning and Featured in Press

Basic Information and History

This 1981 Honda CBX SC06 is not just a classic powerhouse with its six-cylinder inline engine – it’s a unique custom build, created by renowned motorcycle builder Adam Nestor in 2010. Originally sold new in Sweden, the bike has only covered 1,000 kilometers since the rebuild. While full ownership history is not completely documented, the motorcycle's condition and attention in both press and exhibitions speak volumes.

The build was inspired by the legendary Honda CB1100R and has since won first place at multiple shows, including Elmia, and has been featured in several motorcycle magazines.
