I'll nominate Old Scrambler's CBR - Classic Bonneville Racer. After all it just set 3 of 4 Bonneville AMA record attempts. Quite the build! Dennis deserves it  ;D

On The Salt 2018 with his friend and competitor. The records went back and forth between Dennis' CBR 750 racer and the Triumph Trident. Epic battles and epic time.

OK guys..........I accept. Somebody must have a pic of the current PS look with the alloy tail-section. The build is detailed in the CBR page in the High Performance section. The Automatic frame has been raked to extend the GL1000 front axle by 1.5-inches. The extended swingarm is from a Kawasaki and the wheels are from a Yamaha Secca.  The clip-on bars are from a Yamaha Virago. The RS34 carbs breath through Suzuki GS1000 intake bells mounted into the F2 box. The custom Ram-Air intake is my own design and flows through a CBR600-F3 air-cleaner with a K&N filter.

The alloy bodywork augments the Airtech copy of the Dick Mann 1970 CB750CR that won at Daytona. The motor has a stock crank and studs........and then gets somewhat crazy. The valve train is from Farreah as adopted from a Honda Prelude. The pistons are old-school J&E units pushed into the 410 head by CB900 rods. The electric starter is functional but needs a remote battery. Dyna ignition and coils run on a total-loss system powered by a Battery Tender L-I battery. The tires are both front units from Bridgestone rated at 194-MPH. Paint is rattle-can Massey-Furgeson red and Honda silver from the 1960s.

Dennis is WAY too modest. How about posting up your records here with an explanation of each class?!

Want some tail?  ;D ;)

You better compensate him in beer, bourbon or some other vice.
