Some really nice bikes this mob...was thinking Jimmy could take one of the wee monkey bikes they have for sale with him to Thailand...case the big Goose breaks down, could stick it in one of his panniers as a back up lol

Some nice looking bikes there Stu, but they certainly know how to charge.

My thoughts exactly. I've always had a wee fancy for the original CB750 four, when I was about 16 a guy round our way had a mid 70s 550 four with a,4 into one pipe on it, sounded amazing...

but the one I want really badly is this... I will buy one if I win the Lottery... WHAT A MACHINE........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KRBbdyWOJM

From an engineering POV it's astonishing even by today's standards 40 years ago it must have been like the space shuttle...so complex... I know I've posted before on it... I like dreaming.

Check that bank of cylinders and valve train assembly...24 valve 6 cylinder, 7 speed box 150mph (250) or 150mph (350) with a 6 speed box.... Jap micro engineering at it's finest.. oh and 18,000rpm...crazy..

Edit 160mph 350
