The LC650 I had was radically different again, the forks were twice as thick and the handle bars were two piece (scary eh!) when that bike ran well it was damn fast. :)
Shame we didn't get any nominations for the LC model as it truely was the very "last" of the SOHC4's ever ever built.

Whoa! :o  Back the truck up, Hush. A LC650? ??? I Know there are models that I have not heard of and all, but a LC?  Is that just a European model? I'm not DOUBTING you, it's just when I have not heard of something, I like to find out what I can about it and have you got more pictures? Are those 2 piece handlebars, like the ones on my CBX?
                Thanks for whatever you can tell and/or show me on this, Bill ;)

I really lucked out!  I sent an email to the fellow who sold me the 650 basically just saying that I'm done and up for BOTM on our forum and was wondering if he still happened to have any pics of the bike laying around.  HE DID!

He sent me an email back saying

that's really cool to hear about you and the bike! It looks great! Cool bags. How does it run? I'm guessin' you don't have to go down hill to get it up to 55 anymore, right? Yeah, I've still have a bunch of pics of it. Good luck!
So... here they are! 8)

She's come a long way, and now I finally have her baby pictures, too. :)  Well... her original CL pics, anyway.  I kept the original ad, but none of the pics loaded anymore. 8) I know. I'm crazy.

Sorry Bill looks like I got that wrong, but many are listed as LC650's here in NZ, after some investigation I find they are correctly listed as a CB650RC.
Strangely enough they only have a listed top speed of 105 mph whereas Kits' model boasts 115 mph? :o
My old 79 is listed as 107 mph. :)

Having followed behind some fast-moving-objects (because my speedo only does '80') I'm pretty sure that's an accurate assessment. ;)
