Jerry, did you build that motor? It was scary fast. Any idea of horsepower output?

If you get Classic Racer magazine Nov/Dec. 2009 You will see 6 page article on the 350 and 500 Cb72/77 Hondas. All the best Jerry

Dear Davomoto and Gord, Video is of the 500cc bike. 74x57.8 bore and stroke. runs to 12500 and just on 70 at the back wheel. Carbies are 38mm Amal smoothbores There are pics in other parts of the forum showing frame and g/box details. It does haul along rather well pulling in excess of 150 at PI and the just turned 20 year old boy who replaced Mandy Beales tells me he is having a ball riding the 2 bikes and yes Davomoto I nearly do all the work myself All the best Jerry

Gord- you should just stay focused on the sidecar and never finish building that monster!! Of course I think all my trips to Canada this season will be for modern racing so the spanking will have to wait![/
