fenders,
You've been jacked by some of the "finest" jokers here on the forums, probably has something to do with your boasts in the title caught their eye like blood in the water for a shark.

Since the 450 twin is just 1/2 a motorcycle, two cylinder shy, in their eyes your boast couldn't go unchallenged.

Hummm, I have two single cylinder bikes (70 & 90), two twin cylinder bikes (150 and 500) and a "quad" cylinder bike (four-cylinder) (550) ...all Hondas.

Hang in there, they will eventually be bored or something more "fun" will catch their eye...

Squirrel!

Your a glutton for punishment Fenders, I just wish I lived a bit closer so my 750 could hose your 450 and put this funny thread to bed.....Keep dreaming.... ;D   there's no replacement for displacement.... 8)

One of them is weight.

Example: fox body mustangs with 302s on a 2900lb frame. They can really be set up to go fast with little money. They can do quite well against many big block muscle cars.

130 extra pounds does create a difference. That's how much my girlfriend weighs, and we just got back from a 2-up 120 mile trip. The 750 did well for us...alittle scrunched, but the difference in handling and acceleration can be significantly felt.

Remove that weight and get a torque monster of a 450 and you have a peppy bike that is zippy.

Think of a cool 82 Mustang. Mad max style. "Is got a blowa!" Maybe I'll post ours...max would be happy.

Here's one for the fox body mustang, we have a car called the SLR5000 Torana, 5 liter {308ci} and 2500 lbs, awesome cars to drive, mine had the slightly smaller engine with big port heads, Edelbrock torker manifold, ported to suit the heads, tuned length pipes and blue printed and balanced bottom end, it was like driving a skateboard with a v8 in it , same as the one in the pic  :o...  We didn't get the big blocks, they handled poorly, to front heavy...

Fendersrule,

You keeps saying my 450 must not run right........

You know little about me.

If you did....you probably would not say that.

If you say it in jest, I recommend you stop.

If you said it in a serious manner, you owe an apology.

Your call.

Don't take it personal mate. All I had was a photo to judge by. These things do loose compression over time.
