Dave’s CR 750 Replica

It’s true that we all laughed when we found out how much Dave was going to spend on an old Honda CB750, trying to reproduce one of the Honda racing CRs from the 1970s. Six months later, his dream is starting to look like a very cool motorcycle. I can’t remember what-all he’s done to the motor, but it’s got titanium everything, custom everything. Still, he’ll be lucky if it pulls eighty horsepower on the dyno, and he could have had a decent MV Augusta for the same amount of money. But this obsession is not about financial priorities, it’s about having the fastest old Honda. And that is cool.

    I will ask Dave where he got those pipes, I know they are from a fab shop in England. Thanks for reading-

    F.H.
