1-5-3-6-2-4, nice firing order!!!
That is indeed the correct firing order.
To be sure I just checked it in the manual again.
The CBX engine is much like a assembly of 2 3-cylinder enginges mounted head to head.
In fact each sparkplug also fires during the exhaust stroke. This way there is no need for a distribitor.
For the youtube animation I decided to only show a single firing near the end of the compression stroke.

In fact the CBX is now only about 30 years old.
I feel that the CBX-1000 was viewed too much as a Super Sport bike.
When other (also cheaper) bikes became a bit faster it was all over.
Nevertheless I still look at my CBX-1000 Prolink as my new bike…
Compared with some modern bikes it is very well made. Look at the brake pedal: a nice aluninium casting. Compare it to the sheet metal parts with poor welding on some modern bikes…
It just looks a bit wide. In fact it is much smaller than a BMW boxer.
If they had nod moved the alternator and ignition up and back it would be a lot wider.
And yes it has the aerodynamics of a fridge.
But so what!
Well, it is motorcycle engine.
for Honda CBX 1000 and you find plenty information.

as a person who plays with 3d animation I found this video educational
WOW, this is the best animation I’ve ever seen.
It is wonderful to see which forms in the different parts connect.
A game with the forms.
5 stars for this video.
