I bet fast is an understatement for that Aguiar!
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

there's a company that makes a v8 from two hayabusa blocks and is very small. the 3.0l version makes about 400 hp. i'd like to see that in a bike. it's set up for an automobile gear box but i wonder if it could be mated to a bmw 'box.

There is an RMV in MA that was built on top of the remains of an old motorcycle factory from the 30's. I heard that they literally knocked the building down with the old inventory still inside. Pushed it into the ground.

Old timer told me it was the Brockton branch. He saw it when they were doing it. I told him that one day I am going to buy that RMV building and start digging. He said there were new parts on the shelves and everything!

A side note on the guy. His name was Tony. and he was one of those old timers that ALWAYS had a motorcycle conversation with me. He would tell me stories about the bikes that he had and still has. Pictures of his Norton 750  "frigging thing would shake itself apart, I think I will put some magnets on the fender to pick up the pieces". He also told me about a "fully dressed" Bridgestone that he used to ride 100 miles just to get a pack of butts.
Its funny how I am inspired by his stories to keep working and riding bikes so I can be the old timer telling some young snot some day about bikes and....I remember when they ran on gasoline or some sh*t.

Just as an aside to Ecosse Benelli photo, I saw a genuine 750/sei in Auckland about 6 months ago being ridden by a mechanic? ,(blue overall covered chap) being ridden into the Motomail bike shop in Ponsonby. Looked very nice and original.
