Unlikely Almanac information of our times - getting to/from the boat

[tcm]

In Sunday evening traffic, it takes a reasonably quick motorbike or scooter approximately 14 minutes via Bord de Mer route to get from Port Vauban, Antibes to the T1 drop-off at Nice Airport, if the rider overtakes and gives it some stick.

Alternative route information may be available in this thread.

thought so, although the CBX1050 (iirc) was very special back then (but I'm also showing my age )

Odd that I didn't spot it in the BMW World in Munich two months ago..

cheers

The CBX was just a copy of the Benelli Sei....

I also have fond boyhood memories of the Honda CBX1000, the boyfriend of the teenage girl across the street had one, he used to park it outside our house. It's amazing it could ever get round corners it was so wide!

True MM!
Ah more memories, although there must have been a dozen cbxs and only one sei at the time!

True. An emblematic case of quantity vs. quality, if I've ever seen one!
...not to mention that JTB pics reminded me that the CBX didn't fit jfm description of the 6-in-6 exhaust.
Which otoh was a sort of trademark (together with its sound!) of the Benelli.
