Corsair CP-9020122-UK CX Series 650 W CX650 ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze 650W Power Supply Unit - Black

Product Information

All models feature steel tube frames with a large backbone, with the engine used as a stressed member. Not much experience riding in a dense urban environment (motorways excepted), this gives me a real appreciation for the skills required to navigate crowded streets. For the 1983 model year, the engine of the CX500 Turbo was increased to 673 cc, together with an increase in power. The fuel-injection control system was substantially revised for the CX650 Turbo, and the rear shock received an update as well by adding a manually operated damping control mechanism in addition to the "air" pre-load of the previous model. It had more in common with the low frequency vibes of a British twin than the frenzy of a Japanese four.

The CX (or plastic maggot) was the weapon of choice for a lot of dispatchers, along with Wet Dreams, which were very popular with couriers who were still on L plates. I did own a 650 Turbo for about 10 minutes (I had an example of all the Big 4 turbos at some point) but that was out of idle curiosity and the curiosity waned very quickly.Like all CXs, the engine was a stressed member of the frame, while the chassis sported an integrated fairing, a huge headlight, dual disc brakes in front and a single disc in the rear. However, its relatively high center of gravity and 600-ish pound weight made getting to grips with turbo cycling through switchbacks, um—how shall I put it— not the most desirable of circumstances. In 1978, Honda introduced the CX500, a bike it said was designed to be quiet, efficient, low emission and maintenance free. I asked the new owner what it was like for starting and he answered straight away with a shouted 'fine, fuck off' to me.

The GT took a little while to catch on, not helped by the fact that the early version had a design flaw, which meant if you mounted a box on the rack it came with, then put much more than a toothbrush in it, they had a habit of snapping the frame. With a compact 125mm length, the CX650 seamlessly fits into modern PC cases, offering flexibility without sacrificing performance. A surprising amount of vibration rumbled through the chassis between 65 and 85mph, which just happened to be my favourite cruising speed.Credit is provided by Novuna Personal Finance, a trading style of Mitsubishi HC Capital (UK) PLC, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. And then there were boulevard cruiser Harley clones that started becoming prevalent and that a lot of new riders seemed to be gravitating towards.

Just as with the Honda Gold Wing, the transmission rotates opposite to the engine to help counteract the engine torque's tendency to tip the bike slightly to one side when the throttle is opened or closed. A breaker offered me a hundred notes for the old heap and I took the money with alacrity - I had thought I would have to pay someone to come to take it away. Corsair could provide an additional EPS or an ATX12V 4-pin connector and retain compatibility with energy-hungry CPUs and the corresponding mainboards.

When you revved the CX at a standstill I have vague memories of it doing something weird like lifting up at the back or maybe lowering itself for a second. There were two Honda motorcycle importers to Australia in '83, each servicing different states (Bennett did NSW and QLD, MPE did VIC, TAS, SA and WA) - one brought in red and white bikes, the other black and white bikes.
