Where is everyone #5

If you order thru Exreme, ask for Duilio (dweelio, or dewey)
He's my neighbor, a super dude, and a former factory Honda motocross racer in the 80's..
He still rides a CR500, and I'm pretty sure his brass bits clank when he walks.
I wouldn't worry too much tho. That 450 will outlast you. You will be passing it on to the next learner when your done with it.

 

Oh boy. I don't have a slide table. But that's a hefty fine back then.

Had a for short of text family member with a kz900. Heard those ran well.

I recently, like this year caught a video about cb1000 inline 6. Never heard of it. Now i know it was a short built monster.

 

A freind of my parents when I was a kid had a kawasaki H2 750 2 stroke triple with kerker exhausts. You could here him coming or going for miles. What a wail.
He wrecked a kz1000r when a lady made a left turn in front of him. He suffered a head injury that left him extremely grouchy. He still lives alone to this day.
What a time to be riding. Tons of power, no brakes or suspension or tires to back it up. It's a wonder some of us survived.

 

That would have been the Honda CBX. 24 valves!
Was built 78 to 82/83 model year.

Was not Honda’s first six cylinder engine for motorcycles. Back in the mid sixties, Honda built a 250cc Grand Prix race bike, six cylinder engine.
Won several Isle of Man races. Mike Hailwood won the championship on one.

 

The Kawasaki “H” bikes were a handful. They did make some power. Friend had the 500 version (H1B). Your right, with chambers on them, you could hear them for miles.

 

Same program about super bikes wasn't there a 2 stoke 1100 or 1000. Short production and was a real death machine. Dang it, I watched a show, and don't remember.

 

Don’t know of any “production” 1000 cc or bigger 2 stroke bikes. Most stopped at 750. That doesn’t mean they don’t have a prototype somewhere.

 

Cool unload today

 

That's awesome!! Immortalized.

You will be in the archives forever. Someone looking at the microfiche film might see ya 100's of years from now. Pretty cool!!
