Johnwebley:
Fed an early CBX1000
the original design was loosely based on the 1966 RC166 250-6 racer.
Those were tiny

I am glad someone is on the same level. Yes, the engine in the bike is a CBX but, it can not be called a RC166 replica. You can't build a CR750 replica and have a 250 engine in it  ::)

Orcade-Ian:
Yes Trig,
Certainly not a replica, not sure what you might call it but it IS beautiful nonetheless and the pipes follow the same form as the original.  The 250/6 motor was tiny in comparison and only seemed to come halfway up the frame.  I had the pleasure of being at Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough when Hailwood appeared with it.  Was there also a 297 six? I remember him sitting in the seat of his Iso Grifo in the paddock after one race, looking absolutely knackered.  Sadly I thought it was that same meeting that Fritz Scheidegger lost his life in the Sidecar race but wiki says different.
