Driving Nearly 3,000 Miles for Two Vintage Hondas

Brick House Builds, a vintage motorcycle shop and YouTube channel, documented a 2,700-plus mile road trip to acquire two early-1980s Honda CX500 Turbo motorcycles. The trip involved traveling across multiple states to retrieve the rare motorcycles, which are notable for being among the first production bikes to feature turbocharging and electronic fuel injection.
