- | CB500T, I think. Developed from the old CB450 (the one with torsion-
- | bar valve springs). From all reports it was quite a dog, and it only lasted
- | a year or two.

- Also the water-cooled CX500 and CX500 Custom came out that year. They
- were shaft driven V-twins with the engine mounted sideway ala Moto
- Guzzi. Heavy but reliable.
