Geez, I'd like one of them as a street bike!

I had a set of vintage (meaning old and rock hard) Carlisle 19" flat track tires on
a 3-wheeler I built in the late 80's.

Hey nice job mate, could you legally ride that on the road? I want one! (with a CB750 engine, of course......)

I will try to dig up a pic or link to a Champion framed CB 750 Honda flat track bike, if I get a chance..

mean whike I think one was sponsored by Rocky Cycle and maybe ridden by Rick? Hocking..

..the ultimate Honda tracker.. imo..

I don't know who these guys are buy I'm thinking a quick trip to You Tube for some sound and motion to go with the pix.

edit: Time for Ecosse to take a break; I just posted a shot twice.

Ecosse--no intent to hijack, but
Terry--rode it on the road for several years- licenced as a '74CB360--looks like one doesn't it-?-Due to domestic difficulties ,I had to leave it in a barn in upstate New York in '94--It may still be there-you can have it !--GRHD

Are you serious mate? I'd love to have it! I wonder if it does still exist?

Ecosse · « **Reply #32 on:** October 25, 2008, 10:47:43 PM »

Another action shot.

Honda Takes the win!

CharlieT · « **Reply #34 on:** October 27, 2008, 06:19:40 PM »

there's always the Honda factory built street trackers that never got imported here:

The Honda FTR223

Ecosse · « **Reply #35 on:** October 27, 2008, 06:23:23 PM »

Charlie T,

First time I've heard about it; do you have any information about the FTR223?

Thanks either way... pretty fun looking ride!

CharlieT · « **Reply #36 on:** October 27, 2008, 06:41:35 PM »

No info at all. Accidently came across them in a listing of Honda models. Had no idea what an FR223 was when I clicked on the model link.. Preetty sweet looking. All I did was just google ftr223.

Ecosse · « **Reply #37 on:** October 27, 2008, 07:27:02 PM »

Wow! Did a search and they seem to have a minor cult following in Japan.

Bill, between what you are coming up with and those that the others and myself have found, we are getting quite a collection of these Hondas!

CharlieT · « **Reply #42 on:** October 28, 2008, 02:14:20 PM »

If you go to this website: http://www.vft.org/ForSaleWanted/10Octt23JM-HondaTwin3.jpg
just scroll thru the ads. All variety of flattrackers, quite a few Honda ones in there, including this monster with a vtr 996 superhawk motor in it. The old XL 350 and the 500 singles were always quite popular on the flattracks.

Thanks Charlie,

I think I've seen that site before a while back. Anyway, there's some good info and nice images!

I like old photos of racing action too.

Ecosse · « **Reply #44 on:** October 30, 2008, 09:53:05 PM »

FTR223?

Ecosse · « **Reply #45 on:** October 30, 2008, 11:05:28 PM »

bill440cars · « **Reply #46 on:** October 31, 2008, 05:06:16 AM »

Bill, I like that 450, but then I saw the 250/305 (hard to tell which one, from here)!

Ecosse · « **Reply #47 on:** November 01, 2008, 11:32:54 PM »

I'm pretty sure the second image is of Heffy.

Ecosse · « **Reply #48 on:** November 02, 2008, 12:54:51 AM »

would like to know more about this...

bill440cars · « **Reply #49 on:** November 02, 2008, 06:28:29 AM »

Pretty cool alright!

Not much for the exhaust (mainly the muffler), but really like the rest.
