Honda CB450N Sprint bike

[Eric Frith]

Just for interests sake here's a pic of our CB400/450N that I sprint raced in 2010, the bike managed a 14.2 with me on board but with my (much) lighter mate riding, it got into the 13's

Strange choice! What class would that fit into?
I have a 450DX in my garage.

At the time there wasn't a choice, the bike was rescued from the back of a parts shop and looked like it would do a turn, engine is basically 450DX top grafted on to a 250 bottom end with oil way mods etc, bike is now sold but still running and beating a few other bikes along the way.

Interesting. I raced a 400 Superdream - Moriwaki 436 big bore + cam. Most people thought strange / weird choice then, spose it was. Surprisingly rapid though. Got 2 3rd places in 500cc open at Darley Moor. However I think 90% of this was lack of brain on my part at the time!!!

Excellent........I've raced at Darley myself in the ( I think it was) Derby Phoenix cup. Suzuki X7 and Suzuki SP370, over ten years ago now though. I always felt that one of the Superdream variations would give them a run for their money as the bike can be quite fast once you've upped the cc to compensate for the weight.

25 years ago in my case! Good times......
