Wow, I wonder what the power band is like on that. I had an RD400 and hitting 6k was like feeding in a turbo!

Sounds good, except for tickover rattle but as people seem to think the single disc is not up yp a standard 400 not sure about stopping!

what fun!  I think I would have routed the second set of exhaust pipes out the other side. 

Also, I would have started with two 750's because if you are going to be that silly you may as well be extremely silly.

Back in the 70's some guy just stuck two CB750 motors in a frame one behind the other and went drag racing!
