Influence of CX Design
Early influence for the CX engine design may have come from the Marusho Lilac motorcycle when engineers went to work for Honda when Marusho finally went bankrupt in 1967.
The CX series motorcycle has had an influence on the design of Honda's successful ST1100 and ST1300 Pan European models. These also feature longitudinal, or "flying V" engines and shaft drive, though they have four cylinders, full fairings which wrap around the engine and luggage compartments.

“Joe ... you remember I said you wouldn’t be cheated?... Nobody is really. Eventually all things work out. There’s a design in everything.”
