Oh dear! And people say early Honda 750's don't handle or brake very well, imagine putting a Jag engine in a lawnmower and I think that's how it would ride/brake:o
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Hi
Another straight line mongrel, 55 mph straight ahead to the horizon, can't fault the engine, just the person that ruined a decent bike!
nice bike,nothing in the bank

I would mind too much until i read that the bike was built by Steve McQueen's personal mechanic and limited to 55mph.
I must say that i am building a CB750K0 engine at the moment and the customer wasn't a distressed finish. Just have to workout what the hell he means.

Hell!! I was pretty distressed when I saw that thing. At least its a step in the right direction, and its probably a good donor engine. Strangest thing is, bike the size of a small planet and he couldn't find room for an airbox.

What was the point of going to all that trouble to turn a perfectly decent bike into a veritable bag of spanners?
