evening terry,dont you have ring a drink over there?

What? Ring a Drink? You schitting me Dave, there's such a company out there? And I've been tipping that farking Indian prrick 5 bucks to pick me up a bottle of Chivas on the way over to my joint every Saturday night for the last couple of years for nothing? Fark! What's their number? ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Too much jawing and bench racing going on here.  When are we going to enter the put up or shut up phase?

Waxing poetic about potential performance and engine design is fun, but #$%* me to tears, this is too much.

However, the aussies have me dying with laughter. Good night you crazy bastards!

Morning all. Hey are we gonna bet real money on the results of this race? If so, I'll bet 10 bucks that a CB750 (of the same year) will kick a CB450's arse. Of course, if this is all just theory and conjecture, I'll put a million dollars on the mighty 750 over one of those fragile old boat anchors......... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Evening Terry.  I'm with ya, putting my money on the 750, especially if Fenders is riding the 450!

Does Someone have a hot 750 anywhere near ID?   (one with less than 50K miles)

Yep, I say we send Tim (KGhost) back to the US to race him, I've seen a pic of Tim pulling a wheelie on his 750 at 60 MPH (from memory) so I reckon he'd be my pick to ride the 750. ;D

Having me race someone else is not necessarily going to completely answer this. You guys forget that I have a CB750 with 12,000 miles. I will have a rebuilt CB450 soon. You probably want to take rider skill out of the equation.

What do you mean by "Hot" CB750, or including having a CB450 race a stroked CB750? Sounds like the point of the thread is being continually missed.

So I already have both bikes right now. There is a raceway in Boise, ID. I plan on getting some performance times from both bikes, but it probably wont be until next year. I haven't done a 1/4 mile in awhile, so I cannot remember if 0-60 times are obtained.
