I did notice it ended with a 550, the exhaust was a dead giveaway. Wonder if they did as it is lighter and easier to pick up?

I've seen it before, and someone was joking about it in the comments. The 750 is a bit heavy to jump that easy I'd imagine. There was a member here who posted pix of him jumping his 550 quite high not too long ago. Does look like a lot of fun ;)

Everybody will understand that nobody can escape from Charles Bronson. I saw when the bike fell that the tank fuel cap was dsiplaced as on a CB500. I guess that they did not want to ruin a nice CB750.....
Clip found here too with reference to the movie http://www.rcycle.com/1972HondaCB750FourK2.html

I like Death wish series when Charles Bronson did  what has to be done.... We need those guys here...

Here is a picture before the bike got trashed. Kind of a shame today.
