EAT MY DUST. Cardsharper’s Honda CX500 Off-Road Racer

It’s easy to forget that the scrambler’s origins are steeped in racing. Sure, the modern-day interpretation seems to be more about enjoying nature than about silverware, but the ‘scramble’ the genre’s name refers to wasn’t a scramble across rough terrain, but a mad scramble to the finish line. Keeping that tradition in mind, Poland‘s Cardsharper Customs has just unleashed this sporty Honda off-road racer on the unsuspecting local terrain. We’re pretty sure the Polish rocks, dirt and finishing lines won’t stand a chance.
“The customer brought this Honda CX500 to me over a year ago,” says Cardsharper’s Jacek Mulak. “I did not have time to take care of her, but he agreed to wait. We then determined that it would be something like a cafe racer. In the meantime, several CX500-based cafe racers appeared on the Internet; they seemed to me to be a little over-engineered.” So when it was time for Jacek to start the build proper, he changed track and proposed a light scrambler to the owner. “The customer really wanted upside down forks, otherwise I had a free hand.”

You don't see too many custom CX500's or CX650's, but it was one of Honda's more interesting engine designs.
