The CBX-C of 1982 was the final year of Honda's six-cylinder CBX and changed very little from the B. The main differences were a pillion grab rail and a Pearl White colour scheme, with the same faired, Pro-Link sport-touring package and softer-tuned six. Reviewers liked its handling and build quality but criticised the seat and brakes, and production ended that year.
