The worlds fastest and quickest CB550 sohc information needed
« on: December 13, 2015, 08:47:16 PM »
Does anyone know what the fastest land speed racing record and the quickest 1/4 mile record are for a motorcycle powered by a naturally aspirated CB550 sohc engine? I just talked to a good friend who holds several land speed records at Bonneville and El Mirage and we have not been able to find anything yet so any help would be greatly appreciated!

A 550 would have to compete in the 650cc classes ;)  I do not recall seeing a 550-based contender at the BMST events.  If someone ran in the RWYB event, they don't list the times.
