Not sure if this was posted on here but here it is again.  CBX v12

http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2009/10/30/honda-cbx-v12-by-andreas-georgeades/



Love the engine, hate everything else..............  ::)
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

"Crazy is a very misunderstood term, it's a fine line that some of us can lean over and still keep our balance" (thanks RB550Four)

I sure wish this guy had contacted me before he put bike up for sale, being a 750 and in the Rotorua area he would have fitted into my SOHC4 World Tour nicely, anyhow I have emailed him our details....what a lovely old girl she is. :)

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

I remember the Mamoth, when it came out it was featured on the cover of my favourite comic, had twin headlights alongside each other, nothing new now but in those days it was radical!

One of the guys at work had one of those Victory things, needed reverse gear just to park it!
They look like someone wrestled a Harley motor into a Vespa body shell. ;D

I posted this over on SOHC/4 Bikes on the "lets see your SOHC on the road" thread but this may be a better place for it. This is a link to pictures I took at the Solvang Motorcycle Museum. It's a small museum with 95 bikes but many of them are spectacular.http://s1122.photobucket.com/albums/l538/bob3050/Solvang%20Motorcycle%20Museum/
Also here's a link to the museum's site.

Here are just a couple of their bikes.

Saw this on a corner in New York.  HOnda MB5 2 stroke.  Picture would have been better from the other side, but I wasn't stepping into the road to snap a picture with all those crazy cabbies.

Totally dig those MB5's.. they're somewhat hard to find and relatively pricey. But they look so damn cool!!

I saw this bike at a swap meet awhile back. It is the only serial number 1 of any model that I've ever seen. It was rough but the number sure looked authentic. I'm afraid they aren't the best pictures but here they are.
