Here you go....you can try this while waiting for the motorcycle to run. It has 2 wheels and will get you back into the swing of things.

Double check the leathers and helmet (you know, that I mentioned earlier so you don't become dead.....mostly). So, you're wanting a crotch rocket now?

Back in 1969, the CB750 would come to be known as the first "super-bike", ironically.

Actually, I am looking for a tune. I can't remember if it was at the IOMTT or it was the Red Bull Erzberg Rodeo.

This isn't it. - I think it was instrumental.

Not so ironic. They keep looking for more speed, so the bikes got upgraded and pushed to the limits. I'm sure they'll find some way to push beyond the current super bikes.

IMHO, they should just stick with the old school engine sizes, nowadays you have to pick brains or search the net for engine sizes because they don't
simply label them like they used to.
50, 80, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 350, 400, 500, 650 etc.
Nowadays a lot of bikes given "names" and you have to hunt down the dataplate to reckon the engine size.

But yes, they do increase the engine size or induction system to higher limits, like everyone else.

On some that's the case, but the dirt bikes still get listed with their engine size number (CR250, CR500, etc).

Yes, I know that, too.

Ya know, I just read a story about a guy who had his 72 Honda XL250 stolen in 1975. It was recovered in 2012.

I sure hope I didn't buy a stolen bike. It's being processed now, but darned if this bike is stolen. fingers crossed.
