Escape First Class.

The 1979 Honda CX500 Deluxe.

If weekends bring out the gypsy in

your soul, here's the machine that'll set

you free — in style: the new 1979 Honda

CX500 Deluxe.

It's got everything that made the

original CX500 the toast of the middle-

weight sports-touring scene last year—

low-maintenance shaft drive, trick V-twin

engine, tubeless tires—and more. More

comfort, with a cushy, stepped saddle. A

stylish 16-inch rear wheel. And more to

please the eye of the beholder.

The CX500 Deluxe has what it takes

to go all the way, whether you're going

for the weekend or for weeks at a time.

The high-rewing 496 cc liquid-cooled

eight-valve 80° V-twin engine is the

slickest setup to hit the middleweight

class in a long time. Smooth enough for

horizon-chasing. Spirited enough for

sports riding.

When the weekend is over, the

CX500 Deluxe keeps on going. It's the

perfect size for all-around urban riding.

And when it comes to good looks, it's in a

class by itself—First Class. Special Deluxe

trim touches include highlighted black

ComStar™ wheels, polished aluminum

radiator cowling, chromed front fender,

classy new tank striping and polished

engine parts. It's a look that'll turn

heads wherever you go.

Looking good on two wheels also

means looking out for the other guy,

watching your speed and riding by

the rules.

So ride by your Honda dealer and

see the new CX500 Deluxe. It'll give your

escapes a lot of style.
