The UKHTA is a collection of like-minded men and women from all walks of life, from all parts of the UK (and beyond), who enjoy modern and classic motorcycling banter. The club enjoys a friendly rivalry between the members who own the "original and best" CX500T and those who own the "refined and complete" CX650T, so a sense of humour is required. This makes for fun gatherings, but ultimately we are all dedicated to helping each other keep these bikes going.
Our mission is to keep these iconic bikes on the road and spread the word about these very rare and historically important machines by attending classic motorcycle shows and getting out and about.
The club originally formed back in June 1998 when a group of eight Honda turbo people got together to form the UK Honda Turbo Association. For some time they had been collecting names of fellow Honda CX Turbo owners in the UK. The founder of the Dutch turbo club “Honda First Turbo Club" (HFTC) gave his advice as to how to proceed with forming a UK club dedicated to these iconic bikes. We are grateful to those founder members and since that time the club has maintained a healthy level of members.
The philosophy of the UK Honda Turbo Association can be summed up by our motto, "Ride them, don't hide them". We have 40+ members spread across all corners of the UK, as well as some abroad.
Our main opportunity to meet up is at the many classic motorcycle shows held all over the country, which we attend throughout the year. It is a great way to keep in touch with members, help them with any problems they have, and just share hints, tips and stories. The distance between our members makes it difficult to have regular meetings for purely social purposes; however we do try to have a big gathering and ride-out once every year. Each year we also get together to attend the CX Turbo meetings in Europe organised by our friends in Holland, Germany and Norway. These gatherings usually attract around thirty CX Turbo bikes, which makes for an eye-opening sight as we cruise through villages.
The members only UKHTA Facebook group is a great place for CX Turbo fans from all over the world to communicate and enjoy banter on a day-to-day basis. It is the perfect place to get detailed professional help with any issues (normally while restoring old bikes) or simply post pictures of their bike being ridden, not hidden. As a club we offer any spare show tickets to members and every year we produce a glossy club magazines ("Turbo Lag") with technical articles, members' stories of their travels, as well as details of the shows attended by the club. The magazine also has a section for items and bikes wanted and for sale.
