The CX650C was the US-market cruiser version of the enlarged 673 cc CX twin, offered only for 1983. It used the bigger-bore, longer-stroke engine and Keihin carburettors of the 650 range in a laid-back custom package with twin rear shocks, leading-axle air forks and a drum rear brake. Sales were slow and the CX line was wound down soon after.
