754 you dont know about the RCB 1000!!!?
The engine of the Honda RCB1000 as it was known was based on the CB750 four, but with numerous modifications. A bore and stroke of 68 x 64.8 mm gave a total capacity of 941.3 cc (initially a capacity of 915 cc was mentioned). Compression ratio was 11 : 1, claimed power output 115 bhp at 9,500 rpm, although at least one bike was measured at 118 bhp with a torque of 10.2 kg.m at 8,500 rpm.

Its common knowledge.....

ok, just kidding, i did some google searching.

FFJ, the blue bike has a different topend than the bronze RCB, lowerend looks ?.. looks like outboard support on the countershaft.
 I think that bike is running a comstar centre and spokes mated to a Wider rim with a center flange like a comstar.. look at the rim edge its not as square looking as the too skinny Comstars...

Honda ran Comstars on the Bol D'or bikes.  They had magnesium hubs and wider rims.  There was an original set on eBay for 3K.

That is one bike in dire need of a custom frame..!1

 Q re Comstars?
 Did the bolDOr Honda use the regular Comstars, or the other type with 3 double spokes with holes drilled/punched in them?

The Bol D'or used the 3 piece "boomerang" comstar with the holes that you referred to.

The rims I was referring to were from an RCB RS1000.  From the old link which seems to work.  Alloy rims, magnesium hubs.
