Mechanical
GX-5 1200s had standards GX mechanicals, down to the 12" wheels. But it was the only factory 1200 fitted with a 5-speed transmission. This is the FS5C56 transmission wide-ratio transmission, which is just about perfectly matched to the A12GX Engine for street and highway use. It is a dogleg design for quick 2-3 shifts.
Photo Features
This Coupe was for sale 2015 in Kawaguchi. It looks fairly stock except for Hiyashi Street rims and newer "flattop" carburetors.
