Stumbled on this sideways CX500 flat tracker Freddie Spencer rode. Not historic in quite the same way, but certainly interesting.
Not exactly a scan but it worked.
Interesting! The Dream in the lower right corner of the ad is one of the really early ones with a dry sump engine and an oil tank on the right side.
There’s a clear view here of the oil filler cap on the side panel:

My buddy bought a CX500 Turbo years ago, but didn't tell his wife for a while so it got stored at my place
The rent fee was that I got to ride it from time to time. Rode it around town a few times, was not impressed. Then I took it out on a two lane highway out side of town. When that turbo kicked in I was REAL IMPRESSED. That was a rush
I've mentioned this before, but an ex boyfriend of my sister had a CX500, rode it like a loony. One evening he wheelied it down our road, something I didn't think possible on one of those bikes. As above, lovely engine note.
