Houghton took a 1983 6-cylinder Honda CBX and build an origami-like
frame for it from a one-inch thick aluminum sheet and then bring in a pair of
17-inch Marchesini wheels from a Ducati 916. Create a radical front end, but
retain the Ducati’s single-sided swingarm and the thing can go off the stand.
The engine and gearbox is pretty much all that remains from the Honda CBX and
because the powerplant makes it look so wide it’s called ‘Wide Boy’. It
came third in the Freestyle class at the 2010 London Ace Cafe Motorcycle &
Custom Show
Any corrections or more information on these motorcycles will be kindly appreciated.
