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.

Famous quotes containing the words influence of, influence and/or design:
“The example of America must be the example, not merely of peace because it will not fight, but of peace because it is the healing and elevating influence of the world, and strife is not. There is such a thing as a man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The adolescent does not develop her identity and individuality by moving outside her family. She is not triggered by some magic unconscious dynamic whereby she rejects her family in favour of her peers or of a larger society.... She continues to develop in relation to her parents. Her mother continues to have more influence over her than either her father or her friends.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“Humility is often only the putting on of a submissiveness by which men hope to bring other people to submit to them; it is a more calculated sort of pride, which debases itself with a design of being exalted; and though this vice transform itself into a thousand several shapes, yet the disguise is never more effectual nor more capable of deceiving the world than when concealed under a form of humility.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
