That's why I like the no number exhaust on the CB750. They keep it in balance and it can do better at living up to it's potential, not that I'm using it that way, I'm pretty gentle with it.

Beautiful CBX.  I love the rack, fairing and exhaust. 

The CB750 didn't stop development in 1969 and neither did the other manufacturers.  This is the 2nd Superbikes comparison by Cycle Magazine in 1973.  The results might be a little hard to take.

Cheap fairing, Rickman rack and Marshall Exhaust

Like the kitchen picture !  :)
You call that a kitchen?! I'd call that a straightjacket. A tight one.

Kitchen is small as it was my Royal Air Force military supplied house in Northolt, Middlesex, UK

Sorry, wish I’d got the Honda badge a bit straighter
