Length of 75' Honda CB550k
« on: February 25, 2016, 08:31:14 PM »
Hi guys, I apologize if this is not the right place to post this question but does anyone know the exact length of a 75' Honda CB550k, measuring from front tire to the rear tire?

I transport my bikes all the time in my Tacoma with a 6' bed.  I leave the tailgate down and use at least 4 straps, never a problem.

'75, not 75'. I thought you had a 75 foot long bike at first. Well, it got me to open this thread anyway...   ;)

By the way, the length of a 75' Honda is 75 feet.

Yeah, I'm in a bit of a mood...

It's a contraction, like "can't" for "cannot" or "won't" for "will not'. The missing parts are indicated by the apostrophe. So "1975" becomes "'75", with the apostrophe indicating the missing portion (19). Having the apostrophe after the number would indicate either "feet" as in length, or "minutes" in distance, depending on the application.

I see 69 to 79 foot long bikes on here all the time, and it never fails to bring a smile.  ;D

I have seen a Goldwing some Wingnut stretched to ride 6 back to back...so, yeah a 75 foot CB would be unfeasible...what would a beast that long weigh?
Stretched Limos get really porky, the same would be true for a long wheelbase bike if the loads on a frame would make it difficult to keep from bending and dragging pavement... reinforcing it would add to the weight...spiral ensues and then there's the power to move the beast. If you have ever driven a vehicle with 26 foot box that complexity is tripled... Makes driving a semi with 52  foot trailer seem like childsplay.

But, thats idle musing on the technical complexities...
